"I understand the thing about personal preference but complimenting you're profile, having a little chat then changing their attitudes because they find out you're mixedraced is a little narrow minded. " And they've told you that? | |||

"Yeah, that's happened to me a few times. But, at the end of the day you just deal with it. And it's not like your losing out or anything... ...they've seen my picture and so forth. And everythings going well and they show an interest. And then, when they ask about my race and i give them an answer. Then, it's 'oh sorry, we don't play with your kind' - mind you, this was a while back. ![]() That's astoundingly rude and stupid. They can see from your picture that you're not Caucasian. So WTF?! Doesn't matter that it happened 'a while back'. It can (and no doubt will) happen again. Perhaps not to you, but to someone else. I wish I wish people would get more sensible and less moronic, but that ain't gonna happen. | |||

"Lol @ "sexytoysareus" you totally missed the point. Sexual preferences are fine, no one should have a problem with it but showing plenty of interest on what they see then finding out about you're background and then changing you're attitude is a little narrow minded. If I found someone attractive I'd look at the character next not ask if they are full black or White. " and, just allow people to do what THEY want to go with THEIR body. People think swinging is a free for all. And sometimes it's just your perception playing on your mind. | |||

" Is that the reason they give? Sometimes people chat and any little thing might change their mind. Some people might ask just out of interest and to make conversation. Still seems rude to ask though. Think if it was me I wouldn't reply to them. Would you want to meet someone that thought that way? | |||

Could you imagine if someone asked me and I lied and said I just have a tan then after sex told her I'm actually half Turkish. It could traumatise someone for life. I think it's best to be honest ![]() | |||

"Popeye, before I post my thoughts can you confirm whether or not you are of Asian heritage? ...im an asian sensation lol ![]() Ok, here's a simple fact... Many women who will go with a black man will not go with an Asian. Some will only go with black men of Afro Caribbean heritage and not African. The reason some of you are declined is from your pictures you may be mixed race black/white but once it's established you are of Asian heritage they are no longer interested. People will post along the lines of "It shouldn't matter about the colour of a persons skin" or "I go for the personality" and to that I say just because we use a site that's primary purpose is for us to have sex with strangers (still a stranger after a coffee and a chat) it doesn't mean that peoples prejudices will be left at Fab's virtual door. Just accept that your skin tone and heritage are not desirable to some, more on. Oh, these prejudices don't normally apply to males when it comes to getting their leg over. | |||

I was trying to make the point that some prejudices are more refined than simply black or white. So perhaps we should all put details of our ancestry, just to be certain that people can be comfortable they won't be accidentally fucking the wrong sorts. | |||

"However with that all being said if someone was getting on with me, was interested, had regular communication and then stopped purely on the answer I give them about what race I am then my god they'd get a piece of my mind! That's just rude and plain ignorant, narrow minded racism..." I think that's what the original question was about - that people fancied him until the point they enquired 'what' he was. | |||

"I would ask because I'm curious, not because its a deal breaker. " Exactly. There are some "races" where I can't decided what race they are, yet I would say they're attractive. So apart from people with white skin. I find others attractive, but I don't know what race they are and maybe this person is he same. | |||

It would make it easier. I rarely go to swinging parties now for this reason. Clubs and meeting friends but not parties where I don't know every other person/couple attending as I don't like finding out someone I liked is a dickhead who would prefer the new cunt to being honourable and sticking to the invitation already issued and accepted. | |||

"If it was purely a colour issue that would surely not be part of the selection criteria, even if it were true." I was joking about the hotter than me bit. You are but when the colour bar comes down it is about how your party hosts react. I am glad you have never experienced it. | |||

"Seeing as we're all being totally honest here. Let me get this off my chest (can be my little therapy session for 2013). ...it's because of this issue i never really visited a swinging club (of course i haven't been to one so i'm just making a pre-judgement). From all the messages i used to get and so forth, i couldn't help thinking that it will be these exact same people who will be attending the clubs as well (i may be wrong). So, the response in the clubs would be the same as on here.. Now i'm getting a bit more confident about the club scene. Of course i have got the odd looks when i attended one. But, to be honest - it's not like i'm going to change for anyone now is it. I am what i am. ...and Lickety. For the record. Your HOT!! ![]() Pops, it's 2014. One of the reasons I like clubs is that it's obvious what I am and if people want to engage with me and me with them it's straightforward. | |||

That said, prejudices are not straight forward. I'm Afro-Caribbean but will not play with anyone from Africa. In fact I turned down a white man who had a business base and homes in Nigeria and Ghana. When he told me his housekeeper was a prostitute he and his business partner shared my skin crawled! Conversely, there are certain accents that put me off as I have negative thoughts about the people: German and Afrikaans being two. My boyfriend is Dutch, his English is superior to mine and it's his sixth language the other five being Dutch (of course) Afrikaans, German, Flemish and French! Us humans are complex creatures! | |||

"However with that all being said if someone was getting on with me, was interested, had regular communication and then stopped purely on the answer I give them about what race I am then my god they'd get a piece of my mind! That's just rude and plain ignorant, narrow minded racism... I think that's what the original question was about - that people fancied him until the point they enquired 'what' he was.

"Lol @ "sexytoysareus" you totally missed the point. Sexual preferences are fine, no one should have a problem with it but showing plenty of interest on what they see then finding out about you're background and then changing you're attitude is a little narrow minded. If I found someone attractive I'd look at the character next not ask if they are full black or White. " Why? I find plenty good looking(male and female), regardless of their race(and yes I prefer white and am straight), but doesn't mean because someone is good looking and can hold conversation, means I want to have sex with them. If someone says no it's a preference, really don't get why getting wound up about it. | |||

"If someone says no it's a preference, really don't get why getting wound up about it." Nobody is are they? That's an entirely different issue than the question asked, which related to people finding somebody attractive until the point they learned of their ethnicity. | |||

"People will always use "preferences" to try and hide their bigotted and prejudiced views. The crass language used or the extreme nature of those preferences (such as the person recently who wouldn't meet anyone that had met black or asian men), to me go way beyond preferences. But conversely suggesting that anyone who expresses a preference is racist is as stupid and ridiculous as suggesting anyone that isn't bisexual is homophobic. Preferences are often just that with no sinister motive behind them. " Very much in agreement with the above. | |||

"reminds me of the fateful night many moons ago when there was a conversation about race (the really old time regulars will back me up) and someone stated that not only did they not play with black people.... but they also didn't play with anyone else that had played with black people!..... I would have thought people would have had stronger convictions than to bow down and let others dictate to them who they should and shouldn't invite to parties....... not everyone is going to like everyone to play with... and I thought people would have been mature enough to understand that.. " It is a bit like saying you will never play with anyone who has ever gone bareback - how the fuck will you know? I do find the assumption that everyone will pile in at a party strange too. I have been to parties where the only person to interest me is the person who invited me. I must have been a bad guest for not opening my legs to everyone else. I don't have a problem with preference and I don't think everyone is being racist but I do understand the OP and am surprised at the behaviour of some. | |||

"I don't think racism plays a part in this. Unless of course you receive deregotary comments with their message back. Then, you can say 'hold on mate, that's a bit racist innit'. Preference is preference at the end of the day. And if someone isn't comfortable with meeting people of a certain age/race/body type/hairstyle and so forth. Then, you just respect that really. ...it's not the end of the world. ![]() I think you're spot on. On a site like this the number of people who won't play with a particular group, who are genuinely racist, is likely to be minuscule. The problem comes with the almost inherent need to defend ones self in such situations. This is what often leads to inconsistencies, poor excuses and opens people up for my criticism and abuse. I know a lady who is overly vocal about the fact that she doesn't fancy black guys. Her reasoning is that she doesn't think they treat women well. We will forget the fact that she has had many bad relationships with white men, terrible relationships with the fathers of her children. While we are at it, we might as well also skip over the wet patches she leaves everytime she posts a picture of Will Smith topless on Facebook though....... ![]() | |||

"I have no Asian men on my profile (not into black men either). I've been called many things, racist included, for my preference. I have nothing against them, just not attracted to them. I've never had a problem with my race (I'm Asian) but with my appearance, as I have a shaved head. " Are you channeling Persis Khambatta from the original Star Trek movie? One of many women who rock the shaven headed look? | |||

If a shopkeeper feels that a certain ethnic group are more likely to shoplift or cause trouble in his shop, is it acceptable for him to choose not to serve anyone from that race? If you have experience of members of a certain ethnic group behaving in a particular way and then expect all other members of that group to behave in the same way, surely that is racism? I'm not saying people can't choose who they sleep with, that would be daft and would also be way off what the original post was trying to convey. Peace ![]() | |||

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism I think the word 'racism' is being bandied around a bit too freely. The inherent feeling of superiority will be absent in lots of cases here. What I think is happeni!ng, is that what is often meant is 'xenophobia'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophobia Good oldfashioned fear of the foreigner, their strange language, culture, smells, food I have never been the victim of racism, but certainly of various forms of xenophobia. When people insult my ears with their preconceived ideas about foreigners and I remind them that I am one of those 'bloody foreigners', they always hasten to add, "Oh, but you are different, you are one of us!".

"Why oh why do we hear the race card being used so often by mixed or folk of asian origin. This may be uncomfortable reading for some folk but rightly or wrongly there is still the perception of asian chaps looking down on women. Granted a very small minority are like this but the perception is there. As for the comment that if a particular group whether white black pink or any colour are deemed responsible for say shoplifting then why should say shopkeepers not be wary of that particular group. Surely we all make assumptions about folk daily. For me every junkie i see are white and i assume rightly or wrongly they are scum but in reality just minority are so i keep distance from them. " You say rightly or wrongly but if it's wrong it's wrong simple as. You say it's about perception and I agree with you but if the perception is that because some Asian men treat women a certain way they all do then just because that's the way it is doesn't make it acceptable. | |||

"Am I rasict? I have white friends, I have Asian friends and all colours inbetween. I recently gave a pollish lady a lift home home from a training course so she didnt have to get 3 buses. I work with people of all races and religion and none of its an issue. I dont have a problem with foriegn health proffesionals. I like to swing with black guys, I dont like to swing with black guys who dont speak very good english, I dont like to swing with black girls. I like polish women but not men! I dont like to swing with Asian or Turkish men. Or am I just racist against people im not attracted to? I totally get the frustration about the post above when an Asian couple were let down due to none of the other people wanting to swing with them, does that make them racists??? after all they are excluding someone due to skin colour. My first question would be what you have against Polish men and black women? Nothing why would you ask that? Because I dont want to swing with them? Just find it odd. There's people that I don't find attractive, but not entire races or ethnic groups. I don't eat fish but I like cod" If you eat cod, you eat fish. | |||
