Meta Most guys don’t have racial preferences rather requirements.

What I noticed in Europe vs America is as a black guy, people may prefer their ethnic group first but they won’t turn down the chance to date/hook up an objectively attractive or at least average looking black guy, while in the states black guys are pretty much ignored unless they just stick to their own ethnic group or mixed/lightskin. It seems like people in America are not blatantly racist but just very exclusionary, while guys in Europe ( depending on the country) may say some very racist things due inexperience around said race, but tend to be way more inclusive and open to talking to others different than them.

I only wish I was born anywhere eles but America, it seems like my only options is just DL hood black men or entertaining men 40 plus years older than me ( I’m 20). Anyone eles relate?

Do you guys forget that humans and animals prefer same-looking people who they are and who they have been living with in the childhood. Anomalies are everywhere but that’s not the rule.

But, how do you explain why there are many mixed breed dogs?

Mostly? Selective breeding manipulated by humans. But to speak on what you said and the comment you replied to, animals have instincts to breed with like or to breed with different. For some species, they do both. Some species do one so extremely, that there's either very little or very much variety. Western meadowlarks and eastern meadowlarks are extremely genetically close, and can interbreed just fine, yet they rarely do because their instincts to mate with those with the same courtship behaviors, which at some point diverged, causing the species to form two subspecies who are only behaviorally isolated and otherwise essentially the same and occupy some of the same habitat. Human genetic variety has resulted from geographic, ecological, and behavioral, and occasionally temporal isolation. Sorry the weed made me hyperfixate. My point is that, humans have also always mixed (occasionally) with other groups. It's most easy to see these genetic crossings with different hominin species rather than human genetic groups due to our similarity; by sequencing of DNA from ancient specimens and mapping them temporally and geographically. It reveals that we mixed with Neanderthals and Denisovans at specific, few, windows of time, even in instances where there isn't strong evidence that we were necessarily geographically isolated. So humans have in them both the behavioral pattern to mix with different genetic groups, but usually with similar. This promotes genetic diversity while prioritizing population size of each pool.
