From my bygone university years I remember how it is possible to find out that there is simply no chemistry between two person who fancy each other before going to the bedroom for purposes other than decoration. Before that experience, you´d think, you could spend your life with that person and after it you add "as a dear friend, of course."

Quoting alameda

 It probably would not be mentioned, although it would probably be a reason. She/he would find some other reason to eliminate those whose race or ethnicity they aren´t attracted to.

Attraction is a subtle almost magical thing. We really have little control, in any, of who we are attracted to. An odour, movement, sound of the voice or some other thing can be a complete turn off, even though other attributes are in line and we think we "should" like the other person. In reality, they can be found absolutely revolting when in the flesh meetings are conducted.

If we consider this as a racist reaction then we must put a label on almost any woman I have known so far. Women are selective by nature. We expect her to have the final say about the man to enter her life. They have a huge array of criteria which entails in most cases that a man to be rich, powerful, influential, handsome -at least by the standards of the social group they share. Looking back in time, I remember girls rejecting me because I have a big head, am not quite the type she finds attractive that I did not have the nice and expensive car or because I did not have the money to afford the life she was after. Some women even found me a bit too fair skinned to their taste even when there was no talk of relationship. I would say most women analyze you from perspectives that you normally never give a thought about. (There is a big contrast here. We men have a certain way to look at a woman and the only thing that changes is the order of them They often want someone who could take care of them. 

So, I don´t think that woman is a racist. She has a right to say no to a man from Silopi if she so desires. The guy may be heart-broken but anyone wishing to meet a woman must naturally be prepared for an anticlimax. If this happens before the TV audience, that person must also be prepared for being scandalized. If you are watching or raving about these programs, you are realizing the expectations of its producers. Some guys are watching these programs in order to develop their marketing strategies.Their audience forms the largest target group for many key sectors. That is why we have these stupid programs. The wise guys use these show to gather info on what is going on in their quarters, what is fashion and what is not.

 Unfortunately, racism is something we like to think we are over, but we still have a lot of issues.

Well, of course:

Adrian Mutu

Adrian Ilie

Lucescu

Lacatus

Rotariu

In addition to aforementioned. Among politicians, I still remember Ceausescu (though I am still not sure about the spelling.) The most renowned Romanian must be Dracula by the way.

 I wish you were one. It is not easy to find hippies these days...

 Yeah right From your comments, and even insults (which I don´t appreciate, but hey, if that´s what makes you happy, go ahead) I get this feeling that you see me as a long-haired, flower-dress wearing hippy that spends her day running in flowery fields, protesting wars, and reading New-Age books.

I must make a correction about Castro. The phrase ".... doubtlessly sinful.." does not refer to him.

A while ago, there was a little bitterness between me and a Serbian member Slavica over the Serbian role in the mass killings and atrocities committed during the war in former Yugoslavia. 

As expected, we Turks instantly support Palestinians against the Jews, Bosnians against the Serbs and Azeris against Armenians. We also don´t call the presence of our troops in Cyprus as an act of invasion. We show all the healthy examples of how biased a nation can be when it comes to her own interests. This is not peculiar to Turkey. 

In matters like this, powers that be tend to declare a common enemy, the shadow of Satan on Earth who is capable of doing any malice. This person is collectively rendered indefensible and his very presence sets a basis of justification for any further military action to be held by those powers. Remember Hitler, Saddam, Milosevic and Castro just to name a few. This way or another, these people were involved in actions or plans against the major powers in the world. Doubtlessly sinful, the deeds of these men were written by their captors who were themselves far from being innocent. Logically, there might have been many omissions, exaggerations, fabrication and bias in the way they are presented to the masses. Nevertheless, you can´t even defend this suspicion. In some parts of Europe (I don´t know how many) it is illegal to deny the Holocaust. During the war in Iraq, we witnessed journalists losing their jobs on declaring they did not share the suspicion over Iraq and Saddam. Likewise, there might be other hidden realities about the war in Bosnia. We don´t know everything, we just believe in what we are presented with.

The punch-line is, there is a well-known strategy of satanizing the enemy. I can´t even say all the major examples of that is done by the West in fear of wide spread protests within Turkish Class.

Anyone with any amount of wisdom could realize you are not discussing anything. You are just playing an ego game which you must win. A sore loser; a proud winner, welcome to Peter Bruegel´s Children´s Games.

Now, you are playing the sore loser..

Anyway, I am out of here..

Sorry for the mistake about the gender. I had not checked your profile. I was busy picturing him with a halo over his head.
