Ok, let me give the rundown here. I don't know how anyone, anyone can even argue, saying it is NOT racial discrimination. Give an example - you meet a girl through a friend of yours, blind date like setup, though at first you just start with online chat. Anyways, the girl is arab, she instantly assumes that you are arab as well, judging from your pic. She really turns up her interest in your conversations, wants to make plans, do this and that, tries to move things along rather quickly within the 5 days that you two are talking. And yet, she is just assuming this, doesn't even ask to confirm! *shakes head*

Two days later, she asks for more pics, so you go out of your way to take more that day and send to her online. She then realizes, she had mistaken you for being arab. Right away, she avoids conversation with you, makes up all this bologne, and holds off on plans, etc. You could sense that something was bothering her, so you question her about it. She says, she is bothered how you are not arabic. She prefers to not only date guys of her own race, but even mingle and associate with guys of her same race.

Mentally, she may not think she is racist, but the way she is labelling her preferences and the "no slack" restrictions is what heavily gives off that impression. I know for a fact, that it is racial discrimination. For example, my cousin and his family are the exact same way (thank god my family are the opposite)...it mostly comes from the parents, they simply would kill their own son or at least disown him if he were to bring home a woman outside of their own race. They will not even give a chance what so ever to anyone outside of their own race to have a friendship with their own son. This is the exact same situation as this girl, how the heck is that not racial discrimination? Whenever, you view other races as "below" your own race, and/or other races to be "inferior" to yours, that my friends is racism! No questions asked! How can anyone ever deny that?

So, I then mention how I feel things will being going nowhere between us and since she "prefers to only mingle/ have anything to do with arab guys" then why waste anymore of each others time right? Thats the most logical decision. She gets all defensive, saying Im overreacting? Overreacting? How the heck am I overreacting? She is totally contradicting herself, by saying she only wants to mingle with arab guys, then says I shouldnt back out? WTF!

Some quotes from her talking about this online.

Quote

"I prefer to only mingle with guys of my own race."
"I only go for arabs."
"Im not racist, because I have a colour TV"
"Youre my type, youre just not arab"

Gee, thats some pretty damn strict preferences if you ask me. Pretty blunt to say the least. The last two remarks are the ones that really bother me...I dont know why, they just do.
