DEAR HARRIETTE: I am a Black woman who is close friends with a white woman. We were chatting on the phone when I started casually complaining to her about the men that I've dated in the past. Every man that I've dated has been Black, and she knows this. She told me that I need a "new type." When I asked her what she meant, she said that I need to stop dating only Black men. I didn't know how to take this comment. I don't fully think that she meant for it to seem racist, but it definitely came across that way. Could this mean that my friend is racist? -- Weird Comment
