Race & Sexual Attraction

I really don't have a problem with people of other races, and I try not to judge a book by its cover.

However, when it comes to sexual attraction-- black skin is just not a turn-on. White...Not a problem. Asian...Not a problem. Latino...Not a problem. But dark-skinned people of African descent just don't turn me on, and I don't really know why. The only African-Americans that I have ever felt were sexually attractive were very light-skinned individuals (think someone like Mariah Carey, etc.).

I just don't get this. I can see a picture of what by all objective measures should be a sexually attractive individual who is black, and there is just zero sexual attraction. I guess the problem is that sexual attraction isn't always objective.

Does anyone else have a sexual disconnect with certain races? If so...Do you care to ponder the reason why?

I hear you completely.

When it comes to sexual attraction there is nothing. The same happens to me as well when it comes to Hispanics, however, I AM a quarter Mexican. In all honesty I think it's the way I've been raised. I come from an idiotic community; everyone here is racist. They won't admit it. But they are. Trust me: They try to be as morally quaint as possible. And it's disgusting because they're so fucking fake about it.

Alas, I believe coming from a southern family doesn't help matters either. Very racist people in the south from what I gather. But yes I've grown accustom to many xenophobic personalities and over time . . . they've furrowed inside me. . .

. . . I think it's been a gradual push of a chisel which has rendered my sexuality neutral towards them. I try not to be racist. I do no support racism, but I am not attracted to black people or Hispanics and it may or may not be because of the way I was brought up.
