What are you trying to say by this? Is there any particular difference about who says it?
(BTW i like your new avatar. You two look even happier in it.)
Thank you, for the avatar compliment,
myway. I try to change the avatar 3-4 times a year or so. And we are a very happy couple. She tolerates a lot of my grouchiness.
The reason I mentioned those, was because they, as with other words & phrases, are racist references, and because two of the first 3 posters to this OP's thread mentioned or hinted of racism. However, no one usually gets called out when racist overtones are used
in reverse. It always seems to go only one way. My purpose of mentioning it was to call attention and remind folks that racism is not a one-way street. If condescending references were made to black male members as often as they are of white male and female members, here, you'd see flame wars going off regularly. A few of the
regular white females (who I got to know during my first 3-4 years as a member here) specifically left because of the condescending remarks and references to white females. But to answer your question as to
"is there any particular difference about who says it?" ... absolutely not, and that was my point. But, I don't think those comments or that article was implying that.
Just the way I see it ...

ps ... check out this website for a few video discussions on racial dating. I'm sure you'll find them meaningful ...
