Is online dating a waste of time for minorities?

Depending on your target market you will have to reflect a certain image. I see so many dudes doing the shirtless pics thing and women claim they dislike this, yet I posted a topless silhouette and hits on my page were mental. Of course good ole POF deleted my pic but i still see girls posting pics whereby you cannot see their faces.
I think one thing that transcends race is showing you have things going on, pics in a exotic car, seated on a Learjet, yacht/ boat or some foreign location score top marks. It may seem tacky but I have seen that stuff work, you have to ask yourself who has access to that stuff.
Anybody use tagged.com?

You have to show that you're not like the rest. Whites get a pass. If you're a tall, decent looking white guy and have any trouble on or offline then you have negative game.

My thoughts on online game have been clearly stated on this forum. I am a good looking guy, according to most girls I met in person and online, I think race is not an issue in getting laid online.
Quality is the problem.
I actually stop using online game because I was being complacent.
I now get better quality day gaming or at night.
Getting laid online should not be a problem for any race...But quality is however.
Online generates lower quality no matter how you look at it. Point blank.
When I was online my bang rate on the first date was about 80%.
Total bang rate about 90%.
Those numbers are too high. By the way, I only had about 3 months studying game when I was online.

I think on the more mainstream sites, being a minority may make it a little more difficult because the majority of women there aren't looking for that. However, if you go on more niche sites, like those focusing on interracial matches, you may have more success because presumably women that are there are looking specifically for minority men. Overall, solid pics, showing some form of value/coolness should attract some attention. As mentioned above however, quality is always an issue. More attractive women are sometimes online simply for attention, and aren't serious about meeting off-line.

No matter what your ethnicity, contrast is key.
If the majority of guys post shirtless pics (which I'm told is popular?), your suited up and booted pic stands out
If other guys send "Aye yo baby wassup" messages, your "thoughtful" copy and paster blurb will grab attention
If some guys come off as self-absorbed, your humanitarian approach opens the door for you
You build it (correctly) and the broads will come...

I used Tagged.com for pipelining. I've never attempted to use it to meet locals.
