When dating, how many of you care if a person is of same racial/religious background

Do you consider race, religion, political association when going out? On some of the dating sites i noticed some people explicitly said who they want to date (race).

People like to pretend that it doesn't matter, but it does; varying ethnicities/religions tend to have widely varying & conflicting personalities that don't bode well in relationships

And those who seek them out intentionally tend to be pretty shallow (they just emulate whoever they're with at the moment rather than be their own person)

@wildbill83 very well put.
Embracing the racial and relgious differences is very hard. It is much easire said than done.

Those who do it are much better people than i am.
