Mon, 23 Feb 2009 01:08:02 +0000 http://teamac.wordpress.com/?p=13#comment-78 I am a 14 year old African/American girl. Yes I am young, but I have been attracted to white boys since I was little. I play tennis and there are not any black guys on our tennis team only white. I have dated two white guys and they were always sweet and curious. I am still friends with them both to this day. Its hard to find a "down" white guy in highschool, because most of the guys at my school or any highschool for that matter are immature. There is this guy on the tennis team that I like, but we don't really talk but he always smiles and looks at me and he is very beautiful so whenever I pass him in the hall and some white girl is talking to him, when he sees me he will immediately just walk away from her. thqt was probably irrelavent but I would love to faind I true genuine "down" white guy. The thought of that just seems so. wonderful. I am a 14 year old African/American girl. Yes I am young, but I have been attracted to white boys since I was little.

If I don't have any black friends, oh well... I'm not going to try to get one just to make myself seem more open minded, it's even contradictiong. if you are concentrating on their race, then you are not as open minded as you think you are. I don't care if anyone thinks I'm racist (yes, I knew a white girl who thought I didn't like black people because I said I hated hip-hop and rap), becuase I know I'm not, and I'm confertible about myself and what I like or don't like. If someone dosn't like me, oh well. I know I'm not black, I am a minority and can relate to most of what your saying, and what I've heard/seen.

I just didn't like that conversation at all, the white girl bargging about being with black guys to "fit in" I guess, and that black girl assuming the white girl has been with a white guy becuase she's white. The point is, there are all peoples of all colors who say stupid things like that or do things for stupid reasons. I'm a biracial (white and hispanic), and my husband is not even american, and it annoys the hell out of me when people ask "are you two in college?" (like if only interracial couples are in college), "are you half korean?" (do I have to have korean blood to date a korean guy?), or "so what country are you two from?" (assuming I'm not american becuase I look "exotic"), and all kinds of stupid questions. yes, the majority of questions come from asians, followed closly by whites (blacks never bring it up, only if I mention about my husbands culture), but that dosn't mean I hate whites or asians... I'm half white! and my husband is asian! stupid people are stupid people, regardless of color. I just don't like race conversations becuase when I grew up, I was always made fun of for being hispanic (by both whites and blacks). I hate when people assume I like hip hop and R&B becuase I have mostly black friends or I have an "asian fetish" becuase of my husband. no. I like people for who they are, and I hate fake people (and stuck up people). I have mostly black friends becuase I live in a mostly black area and it happened that way, I didn't go searching for them becuase they are black. I dont wear baggy clothes, listent to rap (I hate rap), or fake an accent like I notice alot of white people are starting to do. I'm me, and I don't have to be fake to have black friends. I could care less what the color of my friends or spouses skin is. I'm just glad more people are relaxing with the race issue (though some white people are taking it way overboard and hating their own race, you don't have to hate yourself to be accepted, I'm proud I'm half white cuz I love myself, just as everyone of everyskin should be proud of themselves). “I’ve had white men ask how “it is”
