I agree wholeheartedly. I am a Jamaican woman and I posted my picture. I have written to several gentleman and only recieved 2 replies out of maybe 5. I wrote to these men because in their essays they claimed to be open minded. apparently they weren’t willing to look past the color of my skin even though there were a lot of mutual likes and dislikes. I have posted my profile on another site without a picture and have had many gentlemen respond. But I will add that once I send them a picture all bets are off. So basically I agree. Men say one thing and don’t follow thru. It’s sad but very true.

This data shows evidence of racial discrimination, not racism. These are related topics but not equivalent.
“Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race”
“Discrimination is a sociological term refering to treatment taken toward or against a person of a certain group that is taken in consideration based on class or category.”
