I'm a young black man of 21 living on the east coast of the United States. For all of my life I've found myself predominantly attracted to white girls. I think this comes from the fact that the majority of the people I had interactions with in my youth were white. I don't dislike black girls as a group but I've never seen one who I thought would be a good match for me. I don't fit most peoples view of a black guy. I don't like rap, I know nothing of thug culture, and I prefer intellectual to physical pursuits. I have seen black girls i thought were physically attractive but most have acted thuggish and I dislike that in women of any race.
I guess what I'm wondering is, dose my attraction to mostly white women hurt my chances of finding someone. I'm not bad looking, a little out of shape but getting better all the time. Would white women have a problem dating a black man who does not fit any of the stereotypes?
Statistically speaking, it's probably harder. I don't have any hard facts to back it up, but I suspect that there's a trend in America for white people (including women) to seek white partners, and for black people to seek black partners. I mean, the same reasoning would hold for any ethnic group, not just whites and blacks. That said, I really doubt that it's going to be impossible for you to find a (white) woman you like, who likes you back. I have a friend who is a white woman, and she's totally cool with black guys. The only guys I've ever heard her talk about are black guys.
In sum, I'm sure there are lots of white women out there who'd be cool with having a black man as a partner. As a white man myself, I can't say I know what your situation is like, but if you just try to interact naturally with the people around you, how could you fail? It's all you can do, anyway, right? It's not like you're going to come up with some magical plan for landing the woman of your dreams; you just have to interact with people proactively but naturally, and it'll happen somewhere along the way.
G'luck.
You mean to say there are fewer interracial relationships than in the past? I think there are more people -dabbling- in interracial dating/flings. But as far as marriage/reproduction goes, people still tend to end up with a member of their own race. People want their extended family's approval and children who look like them.

Statistically, education has been a factor in the marriage rate of black males to white females. Black men with higher levels of education tend to marry white women.
