Personally I don't have a problem with it. I believe that if you like someone enough than another person's opinion shouldn't matter. But some families (mainly the elders) believe in sticking to their own "kind." Luckily I have a open-minded family.

In our country, many people are dating outside of our race. Some is because of love but most of their reason is money. To raise their family from poverty. (bcoz' poverty is the #1 problem of our country.) Because they think that it's an easy way to have an instant if you marry a foreigner.

That's one of the reasons why I hate my race. But on the other side, you cannot blame them for acting like that. I know and I experienced being totally poor financially and spiritually, that's why I know how it feels. But, it doesn't make me want to marry a foreigner just to be able to sustain my family needs though.

Well in my country, I'm lucky enough not to have to deal with that. Most out of race dating is because of the people liking each other. Because society will make it kind of hard on you, so you better like that person.

Well In other countries, foreigners are richer than the locals. So not only do you have a mysterious type of person, that person is also rich. It sounds sweet to me... But to be real. Money is a very very important part of a relationship. Many relationships are broken up because of money and financially related matters. So I can understand marring for money, I really do. But at the same time is disgusts me as well.

But after my random spiel have you ever been with a non-pinoy lady? (lust or love, it doesn't matter)

Well you're lucky to have a country like that. And yes, because other countries are richer (much) than Philippines, they tend to find a partner which pinoy(s)/pinay(s) know that is richer. And because of lack of knowledge, a Filipino citizen sometimes uses strategies in order to live. Frankly speaking, Philippines has a low-quality education. (But I'm not reffering to all schools in the Philippines. I mean those Public Schools, most of them.)

Here's an example of a pinoy strategy, the one we used to call "rackets/raket". Even though you have a job, you usually find other way to earn income whether you'll earn high or just enough. (Most people who are doing these things are those who were not able to go to school or just finished/reached elementary.) -- There are "barkers, cigarrette vendors on the streets, etc. etc."

And about what you are asking, No I haven't been with a non-pinay/pinoy. I used to be friends with some because of forums (like this, UN). But I've never been into.

Lol in america we call that hustlin. You gotta get that money, I understand, lol. We have great schools in america, but kids do not want to go and a large number drop out, stupidity...

But why only pinoy? Just not attracted to them, ore never really had the chance?

I never really had the chance in my life. I never really met anyone but african american chicks. I met a couple spanish chicks when I was heavy into salsa dancing. But I never got romantically involved. Never really got close to white chicks. And I rarely saw asian chicks, let alone get to know them... Met a bad *ss korean while salsa dancing (she was so thick), but she got married :( hurts my soul...
