Although this thread by another forum member did come across as a bit distasteful to me, it did get me thinking: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...e-your-options
Just as on "macro" issues to do with politics, economics and questions of national sovereignty, the world is increasingly divided between globalists and nationalists, so on "micro" issues to do with sex and relationships, the world is increasingly divided between pigmentocrats and ethnocentrics. Let me explain what I mean: "pigmentocrats" basically believe that "the whiter/lighter-skinned/more Western, the better", whereas "ethnocentrics" basically believe that "my tribe/ethnicity/nation is best, and woe betide any child of mine who dares marry outside it".
Latin America, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia are firmly part of the pigmentocrat camp, whereas most other parts of the world are an ambiguous mixture of both. In the case of the United States, most Whites and Blacks are still ethnocentrics, whereas many if not most Asians and Hispanics are pigmentocrats. (F.e. well over half of Japanese-American and Filipina-American women in relationships have White partners). In countries throughout the MENA and South Asia, most tradtionalist Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs are likely to be ethnocentrics, whereas more secular and Westernised types are increasingly leaning towards wholesale pigmentocracy. Northeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are also deeply split on this issue. Lastly, in Europe's case, Northern Europeans tend to be more liberal about marrying people of foreign origin (whether from other European countries or outside Europe) than are Southern and Eastern Europeans.
