Washington Post: White Women Who Prefer To Date White Men Are "Racist"

White women who don't date black men are "racist" and "morally repugnant." That's what Washington Post Style Columnist Carolyn Hax wrote in response to a letter from a young white woman who has no problems with interracial relationships in general, but feels they just aren't for her. The link to one of her syndicated replies is HERE

Although Hax wrote it was "horrifying" the young woman had no interest in dating black men, the truth is the questioner was expressing the prevailing view of interracial dating among white women.

Hax has a large audience. Her column is carried in more than 100 newspapers and is geared toward people under the age of 30. She started her advice column in 1997 as a weekly feature for The Washington Post, accompanied by the work of "relationship cartoonist" Nick Galifianakis. The column has since gone daily and into syndication, where it appears in over 200 newspapers. Carolyn joined The Post in 1992 as a copy editor in Style, and became a news editor before turning to writing full-time. She is the author of "Tell Me About It" (Miramax, 2001), and the host of a live online discussion on Fridays at noon on washingtonpost.com. She lives in Washington, D.C., with her white husband, Kenny Ackermans, and their three white boys.
