Continuing Adventures in OnLine Dating (84): The Alt-Right in My Inbox

dating

Yesterday, I got a message from a Canadian living in San Francisco on Plenty of Fish. He quoted a sentence from my profile and said that we wanted the same things.

When I went to his profile, I saw my sentence.

He confirmed that he stole it.

A message or so later, he asked me what I thought about something he read on the internet that day, which claims that black people are stupid and that that’s why Jewish people want gentiles to mate with them–so that Jews can make gentiles stupid.

Me: I think that’s racist bullshit.

Him: Yes, it’s racist. But why is it bullshit?

He doesn’t mind, in other words, that it’s racist. He knows it is and that he is, but thinks that’s okay.

He said I must not be aware of the Jewish plan to create a dumb slave race through generations of interbreeding.

I blocked him.

And thanked the universe that no one was conspiring to make me date guys like that–talk about IQs going down.

My profile literally says: The guy I want: smart, funny, secure in himself, sexy, nonsmoker, pro-science, pro-equality, supports reproductive rights, very close geographically. He will share my basic values, so he will be liberal/progressive (conservatives, libertarians, and anarchists need not apply).

How dumb do you have to be to think neo-Nazi is what I’m looking for?

I had to log off for most of the day and vigorously shower.

I also now have to live knowing that a sentence I wrote is on a white supremacist’s dating profile.

This is the one time when not being cited works in my favor.
