putting my oar in.

A message I sent a while back in response to a profile.  Couldn’t resist.

hey, i read your profile with interest, and was thinking that you sound like a great guy, and then i saw that you’d selected a few, very specific, racial/ethnic preferences in your ideal date. is there a particular reason you don’t want to date a black woman? i’m not black, but i do eliminate people who appear racist on their profile from my dating pool. that said, you seem like such a nice guy that i kind of wondered what your rationale might be for stating your preferences in the way you did.

i’m probably poking my nose in where it doesn’t belong, and i’m sorry if this email offends, but i really am curious…

Not surprised that he never responded, but I was honestly curious to hear his reasons.
