Why do people generally tend to find their own race most attractive?

I'm indian(punjabi) and I don't find my race attractive at all. I am so attracted to white men,it's ridiculous !! I never see me marrying an indian man(my parents will be so proud )! I really dislike the culture and that contributes massively I believe, I don't want to be practising these traditions after i'm married, I swear I have had enough. Also It's not just their looks I'm not into, it's also their attitudes. A lot of them(not all) carry this sense of entitlement and many of them lack reason and blindly follow religion. I truly believe it's due to their sheltered traditional upbringing. Their narrow minded view on sex amongst other things turns me off completely(Oh and I'm just not sexually attracted to them!) .Where I go to school the indians don't really integrate with other races (that pisses me off most). They just float around in their massive groups using Punjabi words in every sentence. They make the culture their identity, I have spent forever doing the opposite. Fair enough if your proud but don't act like a complete idiot. It's quite pathetic, mind you some of these guys are leaving for uni soon,so sad their sheltered views will be released to the real world.

It's not just the men I'm not into, its also the music (I despise it!), the weddings,clothes but I do like the food so ha. I think I was born into the wrong race,I honestly do!

Using 'all' is inviting yourself to criticism, but this is nonsense. Most guys I know (uni,friends etc) will not say thy prefer east asian women. Tbh, I'm yet to find one that has that preference.

Me personally, I like a mixture

So mixed race girls (black-white,black-indian,white-asian)
or Latina (even then they are generally mixed esp Cubans,Puerto Ricans,Brazilians etc)

Then possibly middle eastern, then white,
East Asian is not my top preference

It's just what i read a while ago. Study by some American University.

Personally i'm white and prefer my fellow white women but i'm open to Hispanics and East Asians. Don't really find African women attractive and would never date a Muslim which rules out Arab and South Asian.

Just saying most South Asians are not Muslim, most South Asians are Hindu. And there are also quite a lot of non-Muslim Arabs.

I was thinking Pakistan and Bangladesh. Though the caste system makes Hindu's sound equally backward.

That's true but the majority are of some kind.

I was thinking India and Nepal. The caste system is barely followed in the UK. And anyway why wouldn't you date a Muslim or Hindu girl anyway? Just out of interest.

Well Hindu's i know very little about so i'd consider them. Since i have a very negative opinion of a lot of Muslims it';s hard to see that relationship ending well.

Which negative opinions do you personally hold?

Well i don't really want to get into it since it will no doubt cause some offense but in Bradford there are stories of rapes, shootings, stabbings, domestic abuse. A lot give the impression that they have no interest in integrating into British society and would rather live in 'Bradistan'. In addition i get the impression that a lot of Muslims value their religion over prosperity. Extending this to an international basis i quite simply view the Muslim world as culturally inferior and a stain on humanity.

I know that there are individuals both on here and in RL who don't display what I've said (i do have a handful of Muslim friends) but i see them as the exception rather than the rule. Unfortunately my liberal instincts here do not over-weigh my perception. I do see Islam as a threat to western values.

Are you kidding? Simple evolutions psychology. In the early days of mankind, when people didn't get around much, they rarely got to see a race other than their own in their lifetime. So a natural preference formed, while other races were seen as a threat (which they were - people just killed things that looked different back then).

Have you ever visited a school that teaches biology or history?

Fair enough that you don't like Islam, but to label a whole community based on the few Muslims who do the sick things you just mentioned is both illogical and morally wrong.

I understand what you said about not dating a muslim, because of your different views on life it probably wouldn't work if they were religious. I personally wouldn't mind dating a non muslim, but then again I'm not very religious. Most religious muslims would mind.

Sure. It's hard to see where the cultural issues start and the economic issues end (have Muslims made Bradford as bad as it is today or are the crime rates ect.. simply a symptom of socioeconomic issues) plus of course Islam is diverse. The Muslims from Pakistan may be different to those from Egypt.

But as i say. I've found it hard to reconcile my generally liberal views (i tend to put the economy ahead of culture) but my perception is that Islam is especially invasive and incompatible.

Have you?

There's also a theory that people are generally attracted to people with very different genetic make-up from their own, as it could lead to immunologically strong progeny.

Considering these conflicting theories, OP is asking a fairly valid question.

Yeah but that's like saying I hate black people because they've ruined east london and increased the crime rates, when this is not true at all. Do you see why that's wrong? I don't know about bradford but quite a few areas in east london suffer greatly from poverty and at the moment that theory is one of the most highly accepted reasons for the cause of increased crime rates (amonst many others, none of which mention race).

Before blaming muslims, maybe you could do a bit more research and look into other possible reasons for the high crime rate. It's very illogical to scapegoat a whole community like that, and reminds me of nazi germany.
