Hey White boys and boys in general

So I'm east african and love my racial identity as much as the next. But I often feel like I'm made to feel like I'm exotic in the eyes of Guys. British caucasians and others as well. I often get told I don't look black and why do you look different which makes me uncomfortable. They ask why my hair and facial features differ and all this really weird stuff they would never ask a girl who would be Caucasian. Anyway there was this guys who was really cool right and he is very intelligent and he asked me out which went well. A few weeks later we saw a few friends of his who we're in agreement that I wasn't really black black and that maybe I was mixed. what bothers me is that this always happens to me in some shape or form. It's like my identity is always put in to question due to my Appearance. But I should remind you that Africa is continent and NOT EVERYONE LOOKS THE SAME. My deal is do I make them feel comfortable about dating outside their race , my friend told me she thinks it's because I'm a more acceptable black. Which is bull**** if you ask me . So yh what's you guys deal?

Sigh.

Embrace your differences. Very little people hit the genetic jackpot and are born with uniquely attractive features. When I find someone physically attractive, I simply find them physically attractive. I don't think about their ethnicity or gene pool or anything to do with 'race'. Granted, people sometimes have preferences - I have a friend who's very attracted to South Asian features - but there's enough attractive people from every background to render that moot.

People who think it's unacceptable to date someone who they find attractive just because of their 'race' are idiots and not worth dating anyway.

I'm a Eastern European girl and I'm often told that I don't look like a Eastern European girl, but ofc I do because that's where I'm from! And they just believe their stereotypes.

Please don't get upset about it it's just plain ignorance, lack of experience and knowledge about other parts of the world.

Upload a photo? I think looking mixed race is definitely a compliment in some ways, mixed race girls are super hot. So i guess be happy they think you look like one
