No, i think one is disctinct from the other but in reverse can be true.
Are all white men non-black? yes
Are all non-black men necessarily white? no
It's still not the same question.
How 'bout we just ask both?:biggrin1:
Sure! If you want answers to both, this would be the best course of action.
I went to school in a district which was predominantly Jewish when I was in kindergarten, but which was mostly black and latin by the time I was leaving the district for high school. The jewish kids were from the same socio-economic background as my family, and we didn't even know we weren't the same. The black and latin kids (who were mostly bussed in from the projects across the highway) knew immediately that I wasn't one of them, even though we looked the same. It took me a long time to figure out the differences. By then, there were three Jewish kids left in my school, plus a set of Irish twins, but they all avoided me like the plague because the cool black kids had decided I was too white. The white kids were like Mantis. They went out of their way to emulate ghetto culture.
As far as physical attraction, I was mostly attracted to the black guys with red hair, or hazel/green eyes, or the darkest latinos. I hadn't seen people who looked like that before going to school. Though my family has mixed heritage, my relatives all look either black, or white. They don't really look multi-anything. I was attracted to what I perceived as unusual.
I avoided black or latin people in general, because all the ones I met were mean to me simply because my English was better. They made fun of me for rarely wearing name brands; I reminded them that I didn't live in a building which smelled like urine, or a neighborhood plagued by crack. Whenever I met black or latin children who seemed like they might be different, I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Individually they could be nice, but once any others joined them, I'd get tossed under the bus.
In high school, it was very different because my first school only admitted nerds. Still, everyone seemed to self-segregate by either race, ethnicity, or both. I fit in best with the sci-fi/ fantasy set, and the biology geeks. This was the only racially/ethnically diverse group in the entire school. My attraction shifted from "unusual" to "awkward/shy/nerdy". It never shifted again.
Okay, that's not true. As an adult, I did learn to also appreciate "radical/bold/nerdy". These traits come in all kinds of people, from all kinds of places. So do the physical features which most appeal to me (dark hair, big lips, long fingers, extreme height, etc.).
Anyway. That's why I would never say I only date (insert race/ethnicity).
