I'm hispanic by birth (native indigeneous people who were murdered and raped by the european monarchies and the roman catholic church into creating a new people, sort of like everywhere else on earth...) and I must say the media did a number on my confidence growing up in the 80s and 90s. At first I was very unhappy with myself, feeling there was something wrong because I didn't seem to fit the stereotype of "hero" that was out from hollywood at the time, but I eventually got over that. And, for the longest time, I thought that my partner should also fit these stereotypes of what hollywood deemed to be the perfect type of woman. As the veils of confusion and misdirection begin to fall away though, I now know this to be the craziest thing I could have ever thought... Still I wonder though... Do you think our psyches are predetermined to seek out genetic diversity in a mate, or is it that we wish to see more of ourselves in future generations? This may sound odd, but I find myself having a fascination with women of the far east (i.e. India, Japan, China, Russia) probably because I yearn to understand the culture that we are sheltered from here in the west... and its mostly an intellectual attraction, as physical things tend to change after time... I wonder though, did hollywood and society influence me into desiring these things or are my inner workings and energies telling me to seek out the things that I am lacking so that they can be manifested in my future offspring? Kind of like the debate of keeping pure races versus an integration of all races into one blended race. At what point does your own personal will intersect with your own personal logic, and can or should this will and logic be manipulated by others when some beings just plain out refuse to do any searching for themselves?
