Got a response from my CL ad, in which I mention I'm looking for a SWM. Here's the complete text of the email:

"sorry not a white, don't like racist anyway, period."

Gee thanks...why the hell did you reply anyway?

LOL!

Simple, give any person a reason to send you "negative" mail and they will do it.

Gonna play devil's advocate here... Yes, it wasn't needed for him to email you. However, I can understand the sentiments. I have a thing when I'm rejected b/c I'm white. And I know guys who have been rejected b/c they're not and it burns...


It is definitely your right to look for what you want and should he have emailed? No. But let's not condemn the guy.

Yeah, I can see his point. However, I never think a guy is racist if he only dates Asian or Black women. It just means he's not attracted to my type. Chances are this guy has anger or entitlement issues, thus the need to lash out & call me racist for something I have NO control over. I've dated Asian men, as well as an Indian (meaning from India, not Native American). He may think I have all Black men labeled as unattractive to me & maybe so. But he's just as guilty of labeling me a racist for wanting a SWM.

CL just brings those types out of the woodwork.

I prefer to meet interracial people. And that makes me...??
but I think people born to interracial couples are usually show-off and blaze!
maybe because there is few of them around! I know this makes me sort of interracist :)

Hey, that sounds like an email I got from a guy on CL a few months back. He was angry that I wrote "caucasian" in my ad. As it would turn out, he later wrote back to apologize and we've become occasional email friends. Go figure.

You can't please them all though. What difference does it make, really. I mean, there are black men looking for white women, vice versa.... It all boils down to preference :)
