I don't give a shit who dates who, but if you date somebody, or won't, BECAUSE of the color of their skin, rather than because you're attracted to them, get along w/them, have similar values, etc., then it's just one kind of racism or another. Women going looking for the "hoodest" (as MixedBlacknWhite put it) or the miscreant/criminal/douchebag element is nothing new; that's why I'm grateful for women who show their neck and face tattoos on dating sites - it's natures way of warning you that they have poor judgment.
