What is even more shocking to me are the comments on OK Cupid to this post. Many of the commenters who say they are black/Indian/etc seem to acceptingly resign themselves to saying they're part of "less desirable" or "undesirable" groups, as if as a person they are in fact undesirable. (e.g. "As a member of a particularly undesirable racial group, ..." or "Some of us less desirable types ...") The real shocker though is who advocates for restricting searches by race! From the comments, it is people who are part of undesirable groups who actually want OKC to be race-aware and allow people to discriminate. Clearly the data shows that there are biases toward certain races. However, from my experience, finding potential dates online is a roller coaster ride. It has ups and downs, and unfortunately we are always looking for what causes those downs. After all, people just reject you without a reason! With data like this, many people will just assume that RACE is the reason for rejection -- something they cannot do anything about -- when it is more likely something they can accommodate for. That is the real danger in reading too far into these studies -- dating is all about YOU, while these statistics are all about averages!
