White people prefer white people on dating apps — but that could be changed, study says
Kansas City Star ^ | October 02, 2018 | JOSH MAGNESS

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.”

#50: "With the ultimate goal of a generic brown population that have no ethnic identity. A universal everyman."

The goal is a population of Globalist oligarchs in gated communities who control a world of generic brown unpropertied tenant consumers who have no nation, culture or identity. The oligarchs will sell you "culture" through your TV's microphone hooked up to their warehouse and your bank account.

Yeah, now that they think they milked white, Chistian based men of all their fabulous creative inventions and ingenuity they don’t need them anymore. Sorry, wrong, they still do.

Kate and Allie did it a decade before Seinfeld. BTW I see nothing wrong with i ter racial dating providing that it’s couple’s idea, not some PC algorithm.

Does this person think that “Asians” never say “no Caucasians” or “no Africans” or “no something else” in their profiles? I am quite sure they do.

Interracial dating percentages aren’t even discussed. 17% of married couples today are interracial.

I was surprised it was over 10%. go to an army base and then go to a navy base and then go to an Air Force Base and you will see Germans and Curry and wives at the Army bases, Korean and German wide at the Air Force bases and Korean perhaps Filipino wives at the navy bases. Why? Because the greater majority of young people get married at about age 25. And if they’re overseas in a foreign country and they’re 25 they are going to meet other 25 year old women And they will get married.

“Why do we want a homogenous population?”

That is not the goal. The goal is to rid the country of whites.


The government has decided that it does not like the people so it is electing a new people.

Yes, there are many completely obvious exceptions.

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.

No drugs, no booze, non smokers only, no juicers or steroid users.

There, that takes care most problematics.

There are already problems with liberals evolving from “you’re free to have sex with whoever you want” to “you’re not allowed to say no to oppressed partners”.

Lesbians are getting bullied for not having sex with mentally ill men in dresses, because as cis-women, they’re so privileged. Or liberals telling straight guys they are bad meanies for not having sex with homosexual friends who are interested in them.
