I also want to chime in and agree with everyone who said that dating bias isn’t exactly the same thing as racism. Or, well, racism is really a lot of different things, some of which are egregious and some of which are just unavoidable consequences of human nature. What I mean is, dudes just want to date ladies who look like their moms. That’s normal, right? Right?

My point more being, whenever you zoom out to a statistical level there are always going to be substantive differences between cultures and certain desirability traits are going to win out. On a personal matters, what indicates racism is not an individual’s average reply rate, but whether the actual subject of the person’s race is an influence in their decision making process. As an example, suppose that asian men are statistically shorter than average, and women statistically prefer taller men. If women therefore reply to asian men less often, the result is not an indicator of racial bias at all.

“That is, if men respond at lower rates to messages from black women, that doesn’t imply that they respond at lower rates because they are black women. There are many possible confounding factors. It could be that black women send out more letters to people with lower match percentages, for instance. Or it could be some other cultural difference such as, as catbus suggested, using shorthand like “ur”. Then discriminating based on that usage would result in a skew in reply rates by race.”
So… you think all of these men here saying that black women are physically unattractive to them are
a) just lying liars
and/or
b) Not common enough to be representative of a larger aversion that’s clearly reflected in the stats, and in the racial preference categories of every single non-IR niche dating site known to man? Occam’s Razor, guy. It slices, it dices, it makes julienne fries.
