Sometimes you wander through life wondering what the hell you're doing, how the hell you got there, what drives you at all to be the person you are, and what has shaped you into that person ( Read more... )

I agree entirely, discrimination can be unpleasant. However, I would also say that everyone discriminates and that it is an entirely natural part of life. It just comes down to the level of discrimination that's occuring, I guess, which determines that makes one shallow. Though this is entirely subjectice as well, obviously. Hmm. So I guess it comes down to personal choice and preference, which are both signs of discrimination. For example, in this post you stated attributes which you found positive in someone, and those which you don't find positive. Heh....maybe this had a point, but I think I just confused myself :D

Yeah, I fail to see any point to that at all. Discrimination based on something as trivial as nationality/ethnicity sounds an awful lot like racism, which most people would agree is a "bad thing."
I also think if I said "I don't want to date any more mulatto guys" or "oh now, don't get me wrong, I've had alllll these great mulatto guys, but they just don't do it for me anymore," you'd think I was a bitch.
It also sounds kinda silly given what I know about your past for you to use the word "had." Makes you sound like you've slept with everything white in a skirt. And unless you've been realllll busy since you left, I just doubt that's the case.

Having had, in the context of the post which ýou're discussing, is having had Caucasian women as girlfriends which is stated in the preceding sentence, not in reference to sex (which seems to be how you interpreted it).

And you went through a phase were you didn't wish to date any white guys so I'm sure you can understand where I'm coming from when I said that (over two months ago). I meant not personal malice to you, and am sorry that you interpeted that I did.

You absolutely meant it in reference to me, and "had" is generally accepted as a SPECIFIC reference to sexual relations, as it is derived from a rather dated expression, "had his way." If you'd said, "had white girlfriends," then THAT would have been more appropriate.
And yes, I said I didn't want to date white guys, this is true. Then I was a little more specific, I said white American men. Neither of which applies to you, so you wouldn't have call to get upset about it, now would you? Your statement, however, definitely applied to me and every other white-bread, vanilla girl you ever (apparently) wasted your time with. I'll go ahead and be outraged on all our behalf(ves)...although, I don't think any one of us would care that you're off the market (for us).
I hope you're a little more sensitive to the "thin, model-attractive" Lebanese girls that are throwing themselves at you than you are to the horrible (obviously fat, ugly, and generic) white American girls that have heretofore impeded your dating progress.
Our sincerest apologies
