Ted, > How about white racial prejudices? Look, you deal with your own white guilt. Projecting it onto everyone else is not productive. Tenchusatsu

I continue to be amazed. Surface appearance helps to establish a first impression and may have something to do with attracting or repulsing people from one another, which has nothing to do with racism. That you have no principle to distinguish the difference is obvious. Most people are sophisticated in their choice of association. Simple observation of human nature has shown us that the more we see and interact with people, the more potential those people have as friends. People often report that they have forgotten what it was that formed their fist impression or that whatever it was, no longer matters after spending even a brief period of time with a person. Mere increases in exposure is a higher predictor of compatibility ratings than any cultural or physical identifiers. Not ever being around a cowboy culture produces fear and sometimes repulsion of the rodeo type guy. Where as, spending a summer on a ranch is likely to completely reverse that perception. The rodeo type guy has some strong stereo typical cultural descriptors, unlike someone who is only identified by skin color. Historical stereotypes of skin culture in America were based mostly in differences in sub culture lifestyle, where as modern American culture is diverse when it comes to skin color, rendering that particular issue irrelevant. Most factors that effect people's acceptance of one another have to do with attitudes associated with the other person. People who are similar in their degree of agreeableness, contentiousness, extroversion, emotional stability, openness etc are likely to be more compatible. But People who are opposites in relationship status are more likely to find one another to be complimentary and harmonious in relationships. You are the ONLY person I have seen perpetuating negative attitudes associated with skin color on this thread. What good do you think could ever come of that?
