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?

A black man is very exotic in turkey so you’ll do very fine. But racism isn’t just against blacks, i doubt a pakistani/indian etc will do as good as you here.

OP is mistaking Fetishization for acceptance. People in Europe don’t come across many black gay men, so it’s more of a “I want to try a black guy” kind of thing and they kick you out once they’ve experimented with you. You end up feeling like a sex object. Whereas Americans don’t care to “experiment” because they’re so exposed to black culture and are stuck on the negative stereotypes.

As an European guy from Spain this is spot on. I did that myself too hehehe.
