Racist or not?
NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - A billboard advertising a dating website in Utah is causing a bit of a storm on social media.
The owners of the website "WhereWhitePeopleMeet.com" call their site an alternative to other dating websites that cater to certain religions and races.
Meanwhile, some users on social media are calling the web site racist, while others say it is no different than Jdate and many other dating sites that cater to specific groups.
The web site is free to join but users have to pay a $15 a month subscription fee to communicate with other users.

Objectively no, but these days everything that comes off as "pro-white" in some why is deemed racist.

The concept isn't inherently racist, but I'll wager that the product is used almost entirely by racists.

How? Because they want to date other black people interested in dating other blacks? Its no different than whites dating whites. Geez, can anyone be attracted to a race or gender without offending someone in 2016?! Originally Posted by Furitrix

Lol this shit is racist as fuck but I don't have a problem with it. People should be free to associate date who ever the hell they want.

tbh not wanting to fuck a certain type of person doesn't make you a racist. People (not you) need to back the fuck up on out of peoples sex lives. People get shit on for not wanting to fuck obese girls etc. Its none of their business Originally Posted by Spectral

A storm on social media is free advertising for the website. If I was starting up a company I'd deliberately try and create a social media controversy.

It's not exactly racist but like other have said it seems a bit unnecessary and there's a good chance that mostly racists would use it. Don't white folk already have Christian Mingle?

Nope, everyone else has their own site why should white people be excluded? I mean there is balckpeoplemeet, jdate, singleparentsmeet, christianmingle, asiandate, whereasiansmeet, gaydate. etc etc etc.
How are these ok and the white one not?

It's racist because white people want to meet other white people or for another reason I am missing? Originally Posted by Mall Security
