When it comes to race, I am "colorblind" (like Stephen Colbert) it comes to looks, beauty is beauty. Personality wise, women are already very diverse as it is, so I tend to reserve judgment.

That really is an insanely stupid question. Obviously that has nothing to do with skin color but with personal preferences! I mean obviously if someone came from a very traditional ethnic background where there were arranged marriages and dowries that would be a good question because I'm sure those girls don't kiss on the first date.

Because women (and people) are all different for a multitude of reasons other than race. Unless a person is within the first couple of generations of emigrating to the United States, they are not likely to have retained that much of their native culture. There is no common "African American" culture. There are different "cultures" among different classes of any race. You cannot expect one black person (or person of any creed or color) to behave the same as the next, simply by virtue of race. To ask for a breakdown of how women of each race behave and what they expect in dating is to ask for stereotypes (sometimes nasty ones) to be drawn. That bugs me. How about judging people on a case by case basis that has nothing to do with race, but by who they are as an individual?
I don't think the question is stupid at all. There are differences between races, so it is therefore a safe conclusion that there may be dating differences as well. For example, Shads, one of our male Asian members here, has already written in a thread that he does interact differently with members and non-members of his race. I found it interesting he wrote that, I had never considered his perspective previously.

Okay. What are the differences? What is different between black people and caucasian people? What is different between caucasian and latino people? What is different between black people and asian people? You can't really answer that question (at least not without some serious stereotyping and generalizations), because people are all different. It's not about race. It's about culture. Race is far too general of a qualifier to tell the differences between people. I will give you that some asian and perhaps latino families may maintain culturally traditional homes. Coming from other countries they have often brought their cultures with them. But most "black" and "white" people (at least the ones I know) are not first or second generation Americans. Their "culture" is American, which is varied and different. You can't expect to use race to (accurately) predict their behavior.
