Negroid/Black - e.g. Africans or black-skinned people
Yellow/Asian - mostly Chinese, Korean or fair to light-skinned Asians, most/some Japanese)
Brown/Asian - brown-skinned Asians (including most Filipinos, some Vietnamese, some Japanese even, most Cambodians, most Indonesians, most Malaysians, most/some Singaporeans)
Pacific-Islander - mostly people from Polynesia, Guam, Hawaii
Red-American-Indian - mostly Native American Indians
Indian - constitute mostly of people from India
Middle-Eastern - mostly from Arab Nations (Saudi, Egypt, etc.)
Hispanic/Latino - mostly South American Nations (Brazil, Mexico, Nicaragua, etc.)

I do not intend to start a whole barrage of racial postings. The poll is limited to only 10 choices. If you feel there should be other races included, please pick one closest to your preferrence. Also, before you criticize me for creating this simplistic poll, please read the following articles about Human Race(s).

I have to admit this poll is overly simplistic springing from being limited in choices - I should have included "half-somethings" of each race and of course mixtures of other races.

A few people will turn to this posting in keen anticipation of sniffing out and virtuously denouncing racism. Sorry folks, I must disappoint you. All you will get here is this inadequate piece of essay and one free quotation at the end.
Every single troop of chimps or gorillas has more genetic variety among its members than the entire human race has to offer. Humans are the only large creatures with a worldwide distribution that has so little genetic variation. It means that we once went through a "genetic bottleneck" when the number of individual Homo sapiens alive on earth may have been as few as 10,000. We now run around our plant in billions but the genetic diversity has not grown much beyond that passed on by those 10,000 ancestors.
The simplistic lists of human races you probably dreaded or hoped to find here were popular until fairly recently. However, they differ very widely from each other. The simple ground for this is that their compilers could never agree on what distinguished one race from another. Everybody made up his or her own list of racial attributes to be regarded as decisive and no one could ever agree on them. Genetics has shown that the situation is even more complex and that drawing a clear distinction between "races" is impossible.
"Human races" are clines. Webster's defines this word as "a graded series of characters (as morphological or physiological differences) exhibited by a species ... along a line of environmental or geographic transition." There is therefore no such thing as a "pure race", only an imperceptible grading of countless combinations of characteristics vaguely averaged together into another set of countless combinations of characteristics vaguely averaged together.
Every human (and every other living being) is a very complex mosaic of genetic traits inherited from both parents as newly mixed during conception. The new resulting genetic mix (you can think of it as YOU) is made still more complex by your traits being more often than not encoded not by single gene but by the interplay of several different genes. One can make so many sub-classifications within the human race that in the end one has one race per individual.
Nevertheless, something like the popular idea of "race" obviously exists in a vague sort of way. As anyone who has traveled even a little knows, people in one country or climate tend, on average, to look more or less the same but different to yourself. An African in Peking will stick out, no question. But sticking out only means that his or her average genetic make-up is more different from the genetic average that you as a Peking inhabitant are used to. "Human races" are averages vaguely grouped together but without any clear separations between them, in other words, cline.
In keeping humans apart and preventing so many from thinking of Homo sapiens as one race, our cultural differences are much more important. There is no human group that cannot have babies with a member of the opposite sex from any other human group. Much of what keeps us apart is in fact based on cultural and not racial/genetic differences.
To us, all sheep in a flock look alike. This is not so for the sheep who can recognize other sheep known to them from far away. Something similar works in humans: most of us look wildly different to each other and most of us can recognize a friend or relative immediately from quite a distance, long before we can recognize details of his or her face. Our human senses are adapted to recognize the tiniest differences by enormously exaggerating them in our minds. We may think that the differences between us are large. In fact, they are minute.

“No one knows what a 'pure race' is, although anthropologists are apparently the only human beings who know that they do not know.”.

My grrl is Pinay.

To put it simply, I love Filipinos.

I agree, there should be more choices in this poll, but sadly limited by the system.

I don't mean to be blunt, but I find Filipinos very sexy and I heard they are "harder" than other races - if you know what I mean. I welcome postings from personal experiences with Filipinos.

Harder? Oh you mean hit a baseball harder than other races. I dont know, I dont watch baseball

Honestly, I would prefer Half-Brown/Asian i.e. 50% Brown/Asian + 50% other race(s) such as Caucasian or Hispanic or Middle-Eastern... but since the choices are limited - I picked Brown/Asian.

I prefer anyone that is butt ugly(race/ethnicity need not apply)

Naah, by "harder" I meant Filipinos have stiffer tongues than most other races. My boyfriend is now so so bald on both temples of his head - and don't you wonder why that is?

Are you referring Filipinos of both sexes have stiff tongues cuz my grrls tongue feels like anyother chick. Unless your statement is metophorically put ....?

I beg to differ... Filipinas are not butt ugly - we're simply exotic-looking such that Caucasians and Negroes find us attractive. Based on personal experience, everytime I go touring in public places, theme parks and malls - black people and white people would stare at me - as if their eyes would pop-off their skulls, drooling in pure hunger. They stare at me as if they are about to eat me up so greedily and ravenously. Some mid-aged Caucasians when staring at me would regularly lick their lips unconsciously. I caught one and offered him ice cream.

I'm referring to male Filipinos. My boyfriend is (by the way) male... and like some Filipinos - he's got a mixture of other races. Nevertheless - for me he's still pure Filipino. I gotta admit he's one of those Filipinos that don't physically resemble the common Filipino - but he's so proud of being Filipino and I love him for that

First of all - if you are a male Caucasian, why did you vote in this poll, isn't it that the voters are supposed to be Filipinas only? Or did you vote for your Filipina girlfriend?

Secondly, if you prefer to date or hang out with Filipinas - then that should be in a different poll or topic.

My boyfriend is mixed - his father is Argentinian and his mother is Filipina... he's handsome and sexy - alright, but quite frankly if I have a chance to pick between him and a handsome (unmixed) Filipino ... I'd pick the Filipino over him.

Yes Im a male Caucasian named Cletus

I prefer Hispanic/Latino because I want my children to look a bit more beautiful than me. At least I'm honest and not a hypocritical Filipina. I do not pretend to be or ambition to become beautiful or whatever. It's just that everytime I look in the mirror - I would think of a nose job or a face lift. My cousin married a Hispanic man and their two children are so gorgeous. My other cousin married a German... and wow, their two sons are so handsome. Just an honest thought.

Regardless of what your children look like, you should love'em for being your seed

Cletus? What a name you got there. Is that short for Clitoris? He he he. Where do you live? How old are you? I wanna date you. I prefer Hispanics but Caucasians are my second choice. How tall are you? We can make beautiful babies. I prefer a daughter - and when she grows up - I will have her join the Bb. Pilipinas Beauty Pageant. Or maybe I would have her join Regal Films or maybe make her a singer/celebrity in the Philippines.

His name is Cletus and he likes to eat raccoons.

Hyuck hyuck, look ma dere be a female wantin' to dating herre ol me. I live in herre a mobilize unit wid my '86 Ford pickup.

Oh I can be his raccoon for a while.

Ooops, did you say you were a stereo-typical trailer-trash? Oh my God, no wonder your kind goes to the Philippines and feasts on ugly Filipinas like me. If I date you - would I still be alive after 3 months?

Can men also vote here? I would hope so... All you men out there who have Filipina girlfriends or wives or partners, vote now. Vote on your partners behalf. I really need a date!

Haha you're 7:30.

My gurl is Filipina. She loves me lika superhero. She's so tight and I'm so right-sized for her. That's why I'm voting in her place.

I would like to say a Brown/Asian because they're so appealing. However, Latinos come to a very close second They always come second for me after Asians. Of course, I prefer a Filipino more than anything.

I think they would date with their own race bcuz filipino people are pretty.

Get the f-ck out of here troll.

You know sometimes I tend to believe that Negroids like you really came from apes. Even the way you talk... you know the "ebonic" way of talking or "ebonizm" or sometimes known as Negro-talk... or black-talk... you sound like a monkey. Did it ever occurred to you that Negro-talk (and most rap music) sounds like a screaming gorilla hungry for copulation?

All you Filipina ladies have no idea what you are talking about. If I were to call all my buddies and start a survey, you'd all be surprised that 95% of my friends, black, white or mixed, have dated at least one Filipina. You gotta admit the fact that Filipinas like to date non-Filipinos only that they don't happen to vote in here. In real life, Filipinas prefer to date non-Filipinos and I am a living proof of that. No hurt-feelings please.

I can sense hatred inside you based on your posting. Was there anything illegal on what I said? I was simply telling the truth and I think there's nothing wrong with that. When I relay the truth about how my Filipina girlfriend feels when we make love, there should be nothing offensive about it - so why be hostile against me by telling me to fu-k off? I'm not your enemy girl... so relax.

I seriously doubt you are black , I think you are Prismknight in diguise trying to put down filipinos. Thats why I am hostile, so get lost PK.

Alot of fil-ams do sell out. Don't worry they probably think of you as a trend or novelty. I know of plenty of filipinas in the Phils. who wouldn't dare go out with your hip-hop, gangbanging kind. Even in the Philippines, half black-half filipino people are only used for comic relief in TV shows or are in the PBA.

Man this $hit is crazy. ...someone or some people actually created accounts just to vote here? 2
