    Those useless locutions exist in many languages. In dutch, it's "eens" at the end of sentences and "je" at the end of words; in Brussels (but not in Wallonia) french, there's "une fois" at the end of sentences, because of dutch influence (translation of "eens"), in the south of France, it's "peuchère".

    The trick is to construct your sentences in the target language, not construct them in your native language and then translate.
    The downside, though, is potential confusion: anecdote tiem: once, I was playing XI and chatting in /l (in an english-speaking ls) when a friend came to tell me something in french... and I just couldn't understand her, I had to finish typing my sentence to do so.

    No, I know, I usually think in English when speaking English, but it does happen occasionally still when switching between languages fast, in the same way that sometimes I can only think of the English word even if I speak in Swedish.

    Should be higher in the US, lol

    What's funny is for lulz I put up a body shot and cropped out face on Plenty of Fish, to see what kinds of responses I got.

    I talked to everyone, guys, girls etc for the sake of the experiment.

    Over half of the people I talked to lost interest after finding out I was black/mixed with. (literally, over half). They'd ask for a face pic and after I sent it, I'd get "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were black" (Don't know how the fk they didn't know that. Some ppl thought I was full hispanic, which is understandable. Other would ask me "Are you white?" lol'd irl)

    moral of the story: people on plenty of fish are retarded, and apparently many of them are legally blind

    Not being attracted to a certain race doesnt make you racist lol. You cant exactly help what you're attracted to.

    Also, lol at experimenting with guys.

    Lol they were obviously attracted to begin with, as they all sent the first messages. I just made the profile and checked it once every few days.

    Not being attracted to someone in general, sure, I agree. Liking what you see, then changing your mind after the fact is just some shit going wrong in your brain though

    To me it's like a kid hating tomatoes, you sneaking some on the recipe and him loving it. Then you tell him there's tomatoes in it and he all the sudden hates it

    Edit: To expand further, I'm not into the majority of black chicks myself.

    It's not because they're black though, it's because most of the individuals, I simply wasn't attracted to.

    However, I've had people who saw my face pic, thought I was latin, said I was a very attractive latino. Then I told them I wasn't latino, but I was black, and they flipped shit. That's a bit diff. Since the reason for them declining wasn't because they were weren't attracted, since they obviously were. They simply couldn't accept being attracted to a black man, which is where the racist part picks up, lol

    What I dont get is why people think the US should be so much higher?

    People with big ass mouths can say whatever they want and thus it seems much larger then it is. Maybe it has something to do with that I live in New York and no one could give a crap what race/nationality you are as long as your lawn is cut and you do not throw a party every night.

    I travel a lot and yes you do see some people who might be dicks to others, but that is not the norm and if you think so run your own unbiased survey. I don't think you are going to find that more then 1 in 20 people hate another race here. Also checking the small towns with less then 1000 people is not a survey, we have large cities around the country and that is where you will see this to be right.

    We have full freedom of press, thus the ugly shit gets reported the most.

    All I've learned thus far on this page: jump on PlentyOfFish if you're not black.

    In this case I agree with you then. I thought they couldn't tell or something until they saw your face.

    Yeah, if people are changing their minds after they see you purely because you're black, and not because you look different than what they want, fuck them.

    No, i'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

    The rest of the country is very different.

    .

    Edit - It's not really as though they probably wouldn't date you though. It's that, a lot of women on dating sites think they're some trophy to be won and try to pick the cream from the crop while acting like there's nothing wrong with them. Approach some of these same women irl and some of them'll have a completely different tune. Internet nerds aren't the only ones who act phony online.

    Should've just rolled with being a black latino, told them your parents were from Brazil or something, try to break their brain.

    but, you have to understand that major cities make up more then fifty percent of the population. Based off that thinking you would need the rest of the country to be close to a 1/10~1/5 rate hate other race. I do not think any way you spin it that is likely.

    edit: I take that back, 80 percent of the population lives in Urban areas. that rate is even lower. its closer to a 1/5 if you cut out major areas like NYC

    you've led a sheltered life. i can walk into nearly any town or city i've been stationed near and simply ask what they think about random news event, and the first things coming out of the mouths usually has something to do with "fucking headrags" or "goddamn sand niggers" (the latter amuses me to no end when they follow it with "no offense").
