As I said, if the sites are generic dating sites, the default is going to be white. It'll be about 75% white and that's an obstacle towards people that fall on the outside of that.
I find that to be offensive. Why is it ok for other groups to have special clubs, but white clubs are for everyone?
It's not a club. It's a business that caters to a niche. There are plenty that cater to ethnically Irish, Italian, Jews, Germans, etc.
I fully understand what you're saying and why. But what I believe Okie is getting at is that anything considered to be exclusively white would be racist, while the same thing done with a different ethnic group would not.
exactly, and just because whites are the majority doesn't make that any less racist.

Then we should have a white site as well.
Are owning, controlling and holding a strong majority in the major ones and most of the smaller ones not enough?

I find it offensive that you don't see a problem.
If blacks have an exclusive club, then whites should be afforded the same.

It's amazing that the exclusively black club in question has you as a member.

Reverse racism is worse than regular racism according to some university of Phoenix studies.

I call BS. You "signed up" under the premise of an experiment. If you were rejected, you would've mentioned it way earlier to prove a point.

The f*cking outrage I tell ya....
Where did y'all hear black girls aren't into white guys? My brother married a black girl. I've seen a plethora of interracial relationships between white guys and black girls. I guess living in the middle of nowhere you don't see culture and sh*t at work.

If you are referring to me, Oklahoma is not out in the middle of nowhere, has a high Black population and is more diverse than NC.
But I'm glad you don't have a problem with a meet white people dot com.

Most interracial marriages I've seen have the dude being black and the chick being white...and that includes the marriage of one of my cousins.

So true.
No reason for anyone to be offended by MeetBlackPeople.com, nor would there be any reason to be offended by MeetWhitePeople.com if there ever is such a thing. Yet we all know that such a website would become a focus of controversy and (ahem) "discussion" in the media. That is the inconsistency that is being pointed out.
As others have mentioned, there are 100s of dating websites that cater to every imaginable demographic slice of the population (except "white people", of course). Which makes it all the more remarkable that EHarmony could be coerced into including a homo-dating section on its website a few years ago. But that is (of course) exactly what happened.

You got rejected? On what grounds? Now that is racist. The site isn't.
