Obviously common sense will tell you that you have to click on a thread to know what it's about! In my opinion, it's exactly pulling the race card.
By saying that I have the "outlook as a lot of guys you know" and putting me in a group that, according to you, believes that if "It doesn't apply to me, so it's not important" is an assumption on your part. While some complain about being put into a "group" because of the color of their skin, you chose to put me in a group based on your assumption of my character and opinion.
Yes this country has a history of bad relations. You can't change history. I agree that people shouldn't be treated differently because of the color of their skin. I disagree with your statement that choices of preferring to someone based on weight isn't discrimination. Yes it's not "the same" yet it is still a form of discrimination. You want to try to cloud it "eye color, hair color, height" etc. That is just ridiculous! And if there were someone out there not choosing to see someone because of their hair color or eye color anyways, it's their choice. Get over it. Ladies do have a choice of who they see, but I never said that we should "better never not even mention this topic". That's just an implication on your part.
I still do believe that this "topic" is beating a dead horse. There are always going to be two sides to this "topic" and I believe that by bringing it up over and over doesn't open up anyone's eyes, it just reinforces their beliefs.
bad
I think pretty much all the guys here have said they react in much the same way that you do when they see an ad that says they don't see AA men. We just move on to the next one. It's not "pulling the race card" to discuss it though. If it chafes you so much to see people discussing this topic, maybe don't need to click on this thread. You have the same outlook as a lot of guys i know though. "It doesn't apply to me, so it's not important." If you do see an ad that states "No white men allowed" please let me know. I think I've only seen one of those in all my years of hobbying.
There's a long history of bad race relations in this country and I guess it pushes some people's buttons to know that even in the fantasy world of the hobby there are still people lined up and ready to treat you differently because of your skin color. A lot of people try to equate their hobby choices (eye color, weight, height, hair color, etc) as being the same as any other form of discrimination. It's not. It's a choice made based on your level of attraction, not a decision to not see a group of people because of whatever preconceived notion you may have about said group.
I know this subject comes up way too much for some people's tastes, but there are guys who may not have seen those previous threads or who are relatively new to the hobby and this forum and just want someone else's input. That is what ECCIE is here for. It's always a ladies choice to see who she chooses to see, but when we get to the point where we better not even mention this topic, there's something wrong.
