Whats wrong with EUROPE's mens choice of women? ?

Question

I'm a college student here in the U.S and this summer I did the "studying abroad" like most universities have. There were about 45 students this summer from the business school in my University.

I'm 23 years and I consider myself a good looking girl because I take care of myself. I do not look down on others or races. I'm obvious white, 115 pounds, 5"5" tall, 36 bust. In college i have a lot of guys going after me and my friends.

STUDY ABROAD SUMMER:

This summer the study abroad was in london. We were so excited about being in london and meeting good looking british guys. To our surprise, we found that european men preferred to go after black women. This was shocking and such an eye opener to me and my white girl friends.

We went to pubs, clubs, restaurants. lounges and some other fancy places. It was the same. They bought drinks for them. Thats not to say that white men did not hit on white girls just that seemed to be on equal grounds. Which is good but surprising because this does not usually happen in america.

OUR GROUP:

our group of girls had 3 white girls and 2 African American girls. I'm not racist. Even in school this is our usual circle of friends. We travelled together in Europe and every where else.

WHAT HAPPENED:

Every time we went out, the british white guys would mostly be after the African American girls. My African American girls are also pretty. It's just that it shocked us the white American girls. We thought, we would be the first pick. I guess we are used to the white American guys not appraoching black girls, I thought it would be the same there.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE:

I found that in europe a white girl is not the most wanted girl. I learned tthat white and black girls have equal chances when it comes to men there. We found that there are many white men and black women couples in the U.K as there are black men and white women couples. Unlike in the U.S where there much more blcak men and white women couples compared to white men and black women couples

By the time we went out for the 4th times, we the white girls knew it was fair game for the men for both black and white girls.

I WAS HURT NOT because I'm white but because there were some guy there that i would have liked to have spent some time with but instead they chose to get to know an African America girl. I would have felt the same way had they chosen an other white girl over me

CONCLUSION:

Not all but from what we experienced we learned that european men view women of all races in the same way or view black women in better light than white american men. This happened when we went to France, Ireland, Scotland, Switerland, Italy and Germany.

Bare in mind that there are a lot black british people in the U.K. I have lived with black people for as long as we have.

I had a good time though. I learned a lot about other people and culture.

MY QUESTION:

Why is it different here. In america, i'm a 100% certain that if I were to walk in a place with only white men and I walked in with some African American girls that a white man would appraoch a black woman at least not in public or in front of a white girl.

What makes a white american man different from a white european man?

WE LEARNED THAT RACE DOES NOT SHAPE BEHAVIOR BUT CULTURE DOES.

Answer 1

That might be strange to you, but where I'm from and how I was raised, my friends look at all women equally.  They are all fair game.  If a woman is good looking, then she is good looking.  It doesn't matter what color she is.  I live in Houston, TX.  I went to college at University of Oklahoma.  That was a completely different story.  I am hispanic.  In Oklahoma, everyone thought I was American Indian.  White girls wouldn't even look at me...unless I had my frat gear on.  Then, I was a white guy with a good tan.  I lived in Charleston, South Carolina for three years and experienced something similar.  My wife is white and drop dead gorgeous - natural blonde bombshell with a natural busty appearance.  She was enrolled in the College of Charleston one year while she was with me.  Most of her friends used to question why she married a hispanic and why did she like hanging out with other minority groups.  Unfortunately, the USA is still very much racially separated in many parts of this country.  And a lot has to do with how you are raised.  I went to a 95% black high school, graduated top 5%, was a National  Merit Scholar and went to OU on full academic ride.  I dated the cheer leaders, the homecoming queens and was the Prom King my senior year.  I dated many different nationalities in my time and guess what?  It was all pink on the inside and it all tasted the same.  If I had been as close minded as most Americans, I would not have had the most awesome experiences one could hope for.  I'm glad you and your girlfriends were able to experience other cultures.  I spent lots of time overseas when I was in the Navy and it opened a lot of people's eyes the same way it did yours.  But as soon as we got back on the ship, the segregation was right back in place.  That is the problem with this country as a whole.  Most people are afraid to step out of their "comfort zone".  I think most white men in this country feel "If it ain't white, it ain't right."  That's the mentality I get from others I have worked with and know.  Sad, but true.  They'll look at black girls and talk about black girls, but they won't dare touch them or talk to them.  Scared chickens.

Answer 2

What do you mean what's wrong with Europeans choice of women??  You say you aren't racist, but your blood is boiling because European guys dared look at black or other minority women instead of you.  Well, I guess this was their way to tell you to get down from your pedestal.  You aren't God's gift to men just because you are white.  What does your skin have anything to do with it?  I guess Europeans aren't as racist as Americans.  Oh, and I'm sure not every guy in the US thinks you are all that either.

Answer 4

There has never been a history of racial segregation in Europe along the lines of skin colour and we don't have a history of enslaving black people on European territory although Europeans were heavily involved in the slave trade.
