It's always bothered me that, on the whole, I've never found someone of African descent to be attractive. In general the curvature I've seen, facial structure, etc ... I do not find it sexually attractive. I mean, from the aspect of personal preferences it makes sense, since I can't expect what I like to be applied uniformly across the human population.
But still ... where do preferences like these come from. What does it mean when my eyes gravitate towards the palest skin when even my father and mother would have found it a rarity in their childhood homes?
I do suspect that my feelings of alienation from my ethnic culture lead me to shy away from that, since I presume that every other South Asian person has a closer tie and desire for Mother Bharata and would scorn me as the loserest of whitewashes.
Other than that ... I guess it's not that bad, because I can't say that I don't factor personality significantly into my attractions. I've also found that what I thought was that many of my most attracting physical qualities have wound up putting very little into play when you take a look at the people I've been most attracted to. It's a decent starting point, I guess. Nothing wrong with having personal preferences if I remember that "personal preferences" are merely what they are.
