Due to some bad experiences with white Australian women, I am completely off the idea of a white Australian girlfriend or anything to do with white Australians, possibly permanently.

Incidentally, I am a white Australian.

Has anyone else ever experienced this kind of hatred? If so, how do you cope?

Sorry to ask, but are these bad experiences things like cheating?

That would explain it, because you don't want it to happen again you put it on them being white australian women and then you "know" if you don't date a white australian woman you won't have a bad experience.

To help cut off anxiety about future relationships.

Don't know if this is it, but that is probably what it would be for me.

Being biracial caused me to actually have some bad feeling for both my black side and my white side. I had to get out of the habit of having false expectations of how I would be received based on stereotypes. I've been mistreated by both sides and have been treated kindly from members of both races. It's down to the nature of the person's character...not color or ethnicity. BUT,BUT,BUT people DO INDEED behave differently when in groups. I had groups reject me as a whole with the one person who liked me not defending me and had some be very kind but condescending due to one of its members liking me. This was all "compounded" by the fact that I am an aspie. So, when I have trouble with people I don't know if it's "me" or my race that they are not liking. If you choose to date outside of your race, be prepared for abuse because people will do that. All races can be very cruel.

The bad experiences are that the first time I was with someone, I was sexually used and psychologically manipulated by a much older (she was 30, I was 21) ex-prostitute white Australian (who looked vaguely Eurasian) into cheating on someone I cared about. I was immature and virginal and had recently had an argument with that person who I once cared about.

I am deeply ashamed of my actions involving my cheating.

Even though there was an attempt at rebound from both ends with the aforementioned cheating victim, I couldn't stand the guilt, and now, I want to start afresh with someone totally new. If that means a different race, so be it.

Well, considering where you're located, the type of women you're most likely to have met is exactly that, white Australian women. In some other location you'd be having hurtful experiences with that nationality and culture wherever you are. And it's no more rational than the intense hatred I'm feeling towards a certain country right now.

there are crappy examples of good behavior in every race. the sad truth is that these people make everyone who looks like them look bad. who hasn't seen someone who looks like them act stereotypically foolish and been ashamed?


race doesn't seem to have anything to do with your grievance. try looking at the situation and imagining that the colors are different. i'm sure you'll be just as displeased with the players.

Incidently not only does this seem racist but sexist as you seem to hold a double standard of yourself. Would you claim the same if it were men as well or is it only the women?

There seems to be this stereotype that women of asian descent will bend over backwards for their men. I think most of this is really about self projection, taking your anger and frustrations out on a group of people you feel is responsible for your own frustrations is just as irrational as arresting someone for looking like your sister or someone you hate.

On another know, attraction...and by that I don't mean emotional or spiritual, but physical attraction toward one race or another (if there is such a thing) seems to be normal for most people and I nothing to be ashamed about imo. I don't think that in itself is racist but to generalize without other external factors and issues about a group of people who share some physical characteristics is in many ways racist.

Erm, it's only racist - I hate Australian men as well, including myself to a degree. I just hate Australians.

I believe considering what happened I am allowed to.

To be fair he said white Australians. He just included the nationality too to make things clearer.

I hate American men but being how there is so many different kinds of american men, it makes a bit tough for me to put them in such a generalized scope. I could narrow it down to the redkneck, patriotic, midwest church going men that I happen to live around. Though even narrowing it down makes it hard since not all the guys that go to church are erseholes or have such extreme religious views about their faith.

I to hate most Americans mostly because of the sheer ignorance and greed,and religious fundamentalist especially in christian, I can stand their holier than thou junk.Also overly patriotic people because you can go to war to defend your country but can you get health-care or good unemployment if you lose your job no,but some soulless banker can get billions of dollars for a gold parachute and bonuses for bad behavior that not only hurt America but almost the whole world due to a global economy,I don't see what their is to be patriotic about could it be we are one of the most backward country's in the western world and we are slowy get more stupid instead of smarter. .I also can't stand western women obsession with being skinny mind you I am not saying to be obese either but I must say your are not supposed to be able to see your ribs or any bones in your body or look androgynous,and men that find that attractive are sick and should be ashamed of themselves for promoting something that cause such a vicious cycle.

Maybe the thing to rule out is 'ex prostitute' or 'older' rather than the race. I tihnk those were the things that played into her being more able (if so inclined) to manipulate you, not her race.
