If you write original fiction you won't get this. You can write whatever you want, characters of any race. Perhaps because they are encountered through words rather than looks first, it seems like people are a lot less prejudiced as book readers than fanfic readers. (Not that is is necessarily all prejudice. But sometimes it can be.)

I think it's worth writing people of different nationalities/backgrounds as a way of stretching yourself. It felt so liberating when I wrote a black man as the narrator in one of my fanfic. He was one of the few original characters I wrote at the time, and I adored the way he came alive to me. I wanted to keep writing him forever.

It made me realize I needed to start branching out from fanfiction and into other sorts of writing. Eventually, I did.

There's something people haven't mentioned (or that I've missed) in this conversation, too. People are genetically predisposition, for the most part, to be attracted to those of their same race and of similar looks. We have such strong taboos against familiar "relations" because we are literally physically programmed to seek out people who look a lot like us and have similar facial features, or resemble our parents to some degree, etc. etc. It is dangerous to interbreed with family, though, so we've needed strong taboos. (And personally I'm against crossing them even in fiction, but I know mileage varies there. We definitely need the taboo in real life.)

For most of us, this genetic preference for race is overruled sometimes at least, by the hormones, the trigger of a certain look or smile, the very physical presence and/or looks/pheremones triggers, to find people attractive who aren't on that scale of "looks like me/my ancestors." It's definitely a good thing IMO, as I think the more we as humans get past this the better off we'll all be.

>For most of us
Lol no.

And no fuck you, i like white looks and I don't want them to be bred out of existence for shittier uglier people.

So you're a Nazi. Good to know.

As I said yesterday in the Hydra wank, there was a lot more to the evil of the Nazis than just racism.

Eh, I think it's more likely we're predispositioned to be attracted to the familiar; when people of other races are close to us while growing up, or become a regular part of our everyday lives later on, attraction naturally follows. It's not about race specifically, it's about the instinctual inclination to reject and fear anything that's strange to us and our tribe, whether it's different skin or a different religion or whatever. Usually the people who find it most difficult to date outside their race/culture/whatever were raised in homogenous communities, which once upon a time was every human community, but that's no longer the case.

Except people tend to isaolate from each other and stick with what/who they like , which isn't necessarily something different from you.
