Nah. Most people don't support interracial relationships, beyond lip service, as evidenced by their engagement in them. This shit is so kids see it, and have a false perception of people from races that will probably steal their bike.
That's two completely different things. Not to mention, I've seen very little resistance to inter-racial coupling. There are some preferences, but most of them relate to behavior more than anything else.
If you're arguing that the general public opposes inter-racial relationships, you're completely wrong. Most people don't care. And most people date within groupings that aren't primarily decided by race. Like hobbies, jobs, interests, and geographic location.
I've literally never met a single man that said he wanted to marry 'within his own race', of any race. It's just not a thing that most men do.
However, if you are a white man, and you are looking to date a black woman by going to an anime convention, you're wrong.
It's a very cheap virtue signal that avoids some potentially nasty repercussions.
I've met plenty. That probably more a reflection of who we are as individuals, than any useful anecdotal evidence. Statistical evidence would disagree with your personal experience, anyway.
I meant their resistance to them engaging in inter-racial coupling.
I think it shows the opposite. Again: outcomes of relationships is not the same as relationship preference. It's not a surprise to me that whites get into relationships with other whites, and the vast and sweeping majority of the time, it has nothing to do with both of them choosing to date white people for a racial reason.
It's likely something that goes entirely without saying. Just because Giz hasn't heard someone express that wish doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, and just because it isn't verbalized or even realized doesn't mean that those men aren't solely interested in women who are memetically compatible - which in almost every case means a degree of genetic proximity.
It could also mean that those men simply aren't sorting potential female mates by race, and are considering a litany of other discriminating factors that are more important to them. Those other factors then generate the results that we see.
Like I said, if you're trying to date a black woman at an anime convention, you're going to have very limited success. If you want to date any woman who is interested in anime, she's likely going to be white.
