White people prefer white people on dating apps — but that could be changed, study says

Dating applications can allow users to fall into their own racial biases while searching for a partner, a new study says.

But in their study, researchers from schools like Cornell University say the “sexual racism” that plagues apps like Grindr, Tinder and Bumble can be stamped out with a few simple changes. The end goal, the study says, is to promote more diverse pairings on the dating sites.

Jevan Hutson, lead author of the study, said in a press release from Cornell University that “it’s really an unprecedented time for dating and meeting online” — which requires a more thorough look at how we can prevent discrimination on these dating apps.

“More people are using these apps, and they’re critical infrastructures that don’t get a lot of attention when it comes to bias and discrimination,” he said in the press release. “Intimacy is very private, and rightly so, but our private lives have impacts on larger socioeconomic patterns that are systemic.”

“Over the years I’ve had some pretty harrowing experiences,” Keodara told The Guardian. “You run across these profiles that say ‘no Asians’ or ‘I’m not attracted to Asians’. Seeing that all the time is grating; it affects your self-esteem.”

“There are asymmetries in interracial marriages. Black women/white men are much rarer than black man/white woman. The opposite is true for Asian/white marriages.”

That’s what I said in my post, but the media is obsessed with white man, black woman, something that’s very rare.

watching commercials you would think that is the case of about 30% of marriages. I have yet to see one in real life.

Maybe, maybe not.

Depends on how the country continues to go over the next few months.

Was always told that if you marry a Filipina, you marry her entire family, pay to bring them here, and become their richest family member.

We do not have a natural immunity to diseases common to other ethnicities from other world regions. Foreign bacterial and viral diseases aside, there’s Sickle cell, AIDS, heart disease, Chrons, diabetes, obesity, mental health, differing disease progression, differing/negative responses to therapies and especially to medications, differing immunity to disease such as tuberculosis, for examples. Without careful genetic consideration, the offspring down the line may face medical nightmares. One could probably search the Guardian for their dire warning article on a certain banned medication dispensed in Spain for headaches or migraines or somesuch that is toxic and proven lethal to Britons, as another example.

Darwin Gaia-ists should at least have a very basic understanding of the built-in survival drive in any living thing to preserve and protect their genetic uniqueness, proven in the fire of time. Zoos don’t breed their sickest camels, horses don’t go looking for the weakest zebras and no one would imagine cross-breeding Galapagos turtles with red-eared sliders. A cougar or tarantula or elephant or butterfly will choose a partner that will enhance the genetic lines and survivability of their offspring. A creosote bush goes a little further and will poison the soil around it to the benefit of their offspring. So either Darwinists don’t really believe in Darwinism, which recognizes and applauds and celebrates genetic separateness, or they’re just breeding racism towards a minority genetic group who have thrived against all odds.

its not racism. Its a preference. There’s nothing wrong with it. Every single person has certain physical characteristics they prefer in a potential mate. Who is anybody else to say another person’s individual preference is “wrong”?

It’s called Racial Muddling, and it’s one of the highest priorities of the globalists.

Oh, puh-leeeeeeze! I've seen women on OK Cupid who specify that they want a Black man, and somehow, my White ass walks away unharmed.

Only one White fella I know of who married a Black woman. As far as I know, they’re doing fine, but the situation is obviously rare.

However, in terms of inter-ethnic marriage, Black women have the lowest rate in America. Either that is because most Black women do not think other ethnic males are attractive - or - it is because most Hispanic and Asian and white males do not think Black women are attractive - or both.

It might have less to do with physical attraction, and more to do with personality and attitude.

Seinfeld still the funniest show on TV

And it is outdated too but still just freaking funny.

Nobody bumping into things looking down on their phones.

Do you ever notice this everyone looking down and not where they are going?

I’m back

Black women do not think other ethnic males are attractive

If you notice lately on TV, there are ONLY inter-racial couples.

YOu never see same race couples anymore.
