    I've heard some talk of exoticisation/fetishism around race before and I've never really known where the boundaries sit. I find dark skin to be an attractive feature but it's not like I fancy every black person by virtue of their race. Where does personal preference end and exotisation/fetishism begin?
    Where actuality ends and fantasy begins.

    As an individual, I would have boned her circa 2010.

    As an individual - were you once part of the Borg? How else would you "bone" her?

    I'd say Asian women and Black men get the worst of that.

    Jesus it's great being white altogether isn't it? Apart from the sunburn and the fact that we age in fcuking dog years compared to everyone else it's really pretty fantastic.

    Do you think it's anything to do with being Irish maybe and having Irish stuff?

    A lot of joking in this thread (lighthearted objectification of black bodies, booties & wangs) but I bet there would be less laughing if it was sexualisation of your own kind. Food for thought.

    I think this is a case by case situation. Linford Christie didn't mind.
    There was a song this black fella had out about big arses. 'I like big arses' I think it was called.
    When they get around to worrying about paddy liking a drink, being stupid and so on wake me up.

    That's why Eve of Garden of Eden fame should be the patron saint of programmers; she had an Apple in one hand and a Wang in the other.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    The one that gets me is 'dong'. Dong is clearly not a term meant to sexualise black men, the fact that black men are much more likely to have a dong is down to dong being a a classification that is based on size. Black men having dongs is objective fact based on observation, some white men such as myself also have dongs, but the association of dongs with blackness is merely a general trend and not in any way racially based. It's PC gone mad.

    If some fucker manages to "sexualise" my body, I'll award them a cash prize.
