The majority of my relationships have either been interracial or intercultural (dating a scotswoman, for instance), but I attribute this to growing up overseas, so I've never really been intrigued by someone who has grown up in cookie-cutter, homogenized America. In fact, exploring each other's cultures is one of my favorite parts of dating someone from a different culture/race.
