I'm a "white" guy, and it seems to me people are conditioned to have attitudes race is something to think is important. Like AZ911, I realized I was attracted to dark hair and darker skin tone when I was in my late teens. However everybody at that time thought fair skinned blonds were the best thing there was. In high school, I was attracted to a Chinese girl but dismissed it as nothing permanent. When I was older and developed more awareness about who I was attracted to, I realized blond, fair skinned girls seemed boring. I mean I wouldn't kick a nice one out of bed but as far as a physical attraction, for me it was Asians, Orientals, Latins, etc. The first time I introduced my mother to my wife to be, the first thing she said after she left was, "You didn't tell me she was Filipino." My response was, "Yeah, isn't she an exotic beauty?" I realized then how I had totally forgotten how much race meant to some people.
