Dear Mr. 42-YOWM:
As part of your research, you should consider that some people are not necessarily "drawn" specifically to a different race. Sometimes a person can encounter an amazing person, be terribly attracted, and enter into a relationship. The fact that the other person is of a different race may just be a matter of coincidence, but not a matter that is important. Myself for example, I am a Canadian-born Asian male, and I met a wonderful Canadian "white" girl who is becoming a special part of my life. Her being white didn't make her more attractive or less attractive to me, and didn't have any influence on me. She is a super great girl, who happens to be white.
Well maybe your study focuses specifically on people who find different races to be especially attractive... if that's the case, then my comments aren't necessarily related. But if you're just talking in general, then please consider that some interracial relationships are a result of two people appreciating eachother for everything that they are, with differing races being a coincidental and non-influencing factor.
