White people prefer white people on dating apps — but that could be changed, study says
Kansas City Star ^ | October 02, 2018 | JOSH MAGNESS

Dating applications can allow users to fall into their own racial biases while searching for a partner, a new study says.

But in their study, researchers from schools like Cornell University say the “sexual racism” that plagues apps like Grindr, Tinder and Bumble can be stamped out with a few simple changes. The end goal, the study says, is to promote more diverse pairings on the dating sites.

Jevan Hutson, lead author of the study, said in a press release from Cornell University that “it’s really an unprecedented time for dating and meeting online” — which requires a more thorough look at how we can prevent discrimination on these dating apps.

“More people are using these apps, and they’re critical infrastructures that don’t get a lot of attention when it comes to bias and discrimination,” he said in the press release. “Intimacy is very private, and rightly so, but our private lives have impacts on larger socioeconomic patterns that are systemic.”

“Over the years I’ve had some pretty harrowing experiences,” Keodara told The Guardian. “You run across these profiles that say ‘no Asians’ or ‘I’m not attracted to Asians’. Seeing that all the time is grating; it affects your self-esteem.”

“Why do we want a homogenous population?”

That is not the goal. The goal is to rid the country of whites.

The 30 seconds FF on the remote comes in handy

Commercial breaks are about 3 minutes. Six clicks and all the tokenism doesn’t get seen

Well, if you are 70 years old, have a heart condition ,and are VERY wealthy there are a number of young women who might want to meet you...

Young men too... "I'll be your Huckleberry."

There is a website called BlackPeopleMeet.com that I see advertised on television all the time.

So I suppose the PC Police are going after them??

I didn’t think so.

“What is wrong with freedom of association, personal choice?”

Well, white people are not making the choices the liberals want them to make.

Also, white people are bad genetically, and should thus agree to be diluted genetically.

And white men should not breed at all.

Duh.

Oh. Wait. ...indeed.

I was reading some reviews of a show in Netflix, some comments were about the overt gay sex scenes not being necessary - replies of “homophobe” were the result. So now I’m supposed to find it entertaining???

With the ultimate goal of a generic brown population that have no ethnic identity. A universal everyman.

This is beyond ridiculous. People gravitate naturally to people of their own culture, backgrounds and race. Nothing new here and nothing nefarious about it. What’s next liberals, a law mandating that a certain percentage of white miles must marry and procreate with African Americans, Asians, Australian bush women? I say this as a non white, who had several Canadian and European girlfriends, but I married a beautiful girl from northern Punjab (though she was one of the rare blondes there - Alexander and his troops made some forays into Northern India so there might have been some raping in addition to the normal pillaging).

I’m not attracted to Asians

I know what each word means separately, but in that order they make no sense.

I’m soooooo tired of the dumb male in commercials. It’s to the point of ad-nauseam, seriously, can’t they be a little more creative?

I’ve also noticed lately, many house cleaning products presented with men using them. Of course, showing women using them is now politically incorrect.

They are calling something 100% normal “racial bias.”

They are insane. They really think that everybody is exactly the same. The ideal “dating” website for these people would not have any room to declare your sex/age/race/normal-abnormal/ status or to indicate a preference in people to meet.

“Sexual racism!?!?” Is there any aspect of life that these busybodies are not trying to control?

You are not paranoid. You are on the mark. The campaign by those who want to destroy the continuity of nations, is very much in play. This all fits in with the Norman Cousins play book for forcing World Government on all of us.
