montereyjill, white guys are on the defensive with their unconventional dating preferences because they are considered perverts if they have a preference for anything but the mainstream. I suppose that is the definition of pervert. I consider this to be a partially leftover of the heyday of racism and totally a misunderstanding of the engrained, unconditioned preferences for a mate. Until recently, homosexuals were thought to have a choice in the sex of their mates.

As for blond women, the statement should be "I love women with fake blond hair." Men who prefer blond women never have to justify their preferences because they have not chosen out of the ordinary. Blondes are still Caucasian, and no American man needs to justify his choice of a Caucasian woman of any hair color. The attacks are against those that date outside of their race, and the funny thing is that most of that pressure comes from women. This is to be expected. Men say the same about a white woman that brings a non-white woman to the party.
