Racists praise Utah ‘whites only’ dating website
Raw Story ^ | January 05, 2016 | Bethania Palma Markus

The man who launched a dating website dedicated to helping white people meet each other in a state that is almost entirely white now says the website isn’t racially motivated.

Sam Russell founded WhereWhitePeopleMeet.com, in Utah — a state that is more than 90 percent white, according to U.S. Census statistics. The Bountiful man said he got the idea while home sick, watching daytime TV.

"It's not racially motivated at all," he told the Salt Lake Tribune on Monday.

He said the idea came from other dating websites that help people from other groups meet each other, like BlackPeopleMeet.com, FarmersOnly.com, LDSSingles.com, Christianmingle.com, OurTime.com, et cetera.

"I was bombarded with dating sites for every walk of life, and I thought in my own mind, 'Why can't there be a website for where white people can meet?'" he told the paper.

But as Salt Lake City College inclusivity ambassador Matthew Wong pointed out, those websites usually target minorities or people with specific interests or characteristics that make it more difficult to meet potential dates who are from their communities or share their hobbies or lifestyles.

"Why does the majority need help finding the majority?" Wong wondered. “How can they need more help finding white people? If this was for a very small demographic of very introverted white people who have trouble meeting white people, I wouldn't have a problem with that. But it doesn’t sound like it's geared toward that specific demographic; it sounds like it's geared toward Caucasian people in general."

Wong noted that a lot of dating websites are already majority-white and it's hard for many people of non-white backgrounds to find dates as a result, which creates the need for sites that help them find each other.

The things in life I despise the most are hypocrisy and double standards. If you can have a “black only” moment at the University of Missouri protest, a Congressional Black Caucus, and ladies’ night at the local bar, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with a “whites only” dating service.

Either they are all OK or they are all wrong. Anything else is hypocrisy.

I just checked the link. They are based in Philadelphia, not Utah. At this writing, they have only 1,779 members, overwhelmingly men.

I want to know how many "inclusivity ambassadors" are white males. If not, a class action lawsuit may be in order.

Ok, lets ‘give them’ the thumbs up on the title — may or may not be racist. (TIC)

HOWEVER,

Why does a White Woman NOT have the right to ONLY be approached by White Men when it comes to dating/personal stuff?
Now if she was ‘selling something’ guess ‘they’ can now sue her for not selling to ‘them’?????,

Guarantee if they started a Site -
White women wanting to meet Black Men ONLY,
it would be celebrated as being thoughtful and upbeat.

“But as Salt Lake City College inclusivity ambassador Matthew Wong pointed out, those websites usually target minorities or people with specific interests or characteristics that make it more difficult to meet potential dates who are from their communities or share their hobbies or lifestyles.”

So by Mr Wong’s logic using the Blackpeoplemeet service in a black neighborhood is racist.

Mr. Wong has a MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM than this website. In this country, at least, white men are snatching up Asian babes by the boatload, simply because they tend to be more traditional and don’t come from families that look at divorce as a full-time career (not to mention they usually don’t look like whales).

If anything, Mr. Wong should be encouraging whites to meet each other and maybe get married, so that some of his Asian guys can still find wives themselves (and hint, white women are not hot on Asian guys, not at all).

At least that’s my take, although I know I’m generalizing a lot...just overall, that’s how it’s going these days.

“’Why does the majority need help finding the majority?’ Wong wondered”

Who made you universal overlord, Wong? We don’t care whether you have a problem with it or not. Now, go teach your diversity and inclusiveness encounter group.
