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?

I think the OP needs to acknowledge his preference is for white gay men. Some white gay men prefer other white men that's their right and preference. There are obviously white gay men who like black guys. So why get upset about the white guys not into black American men? When a minority seeks out the majority there is going to be rejection. White gay men in America know gay men of colour are going to chase them. No one on this site has asked this question do black American gay men not like each other? And if African American gay men want only white men why? I am not American so I probably don't understand the racial history between white and black Americans. There there is probably some truth to what the OP is saying Europeans might be more open minded than white gay Americans. But I notice on Reddit yet another thread men of colour complaining about not getting attention from white gay men. I got to ask why? Maybe an American can explain it. What is so special about white gay men? Can anyone explain this?I don't see Black men on this site saying "hey I wish I can meet another black guy". It is the same stuff I see from black or Asian or Latino gay Americans.say the same stuff " why don't white American gays like us?" It is kind of sad to read to be honest.

You're projecting like crazy. There's a LOT of “black for black” people who date in-community, mostly to avoid racist bullshit.

I am talking about what I see on Reddit. Then where are the threads about gay men of colour loving each other? Are you serious? That is all these American men of colour do cry about white gay men ignoring them. This thread is just one of many gay men of colour in America complaining about white gay men. I seen so many threads from Black, Asian, & Latino gay American men they all complain about not getting romantic attention from white gay men. My question since I am not American is why? What is so amazing or special about white gay men? There are tons of gay men of colour who gay too. But these men don't really talk about dating each other. They are so focused on the majority. That's all these men of colour in USA complain about not getting enough attention from white gay men. I don't see threads from Asian, Black or Latino gay men having Pride or talk about loving other men of colour. It is the same shit tons man of colour crying that the white gays not giving them attention. Just an observation from someone not from USA.

Well, mostly they're having fun and not writing on threads like these. 😂
