The term racist is thrown around far too casually IMO. Should be reserved for actual racism, the word is losing any meaning anymore. Everything is racist now.

No. I'm black but I'm not attracted to other blacks. In fact, I really only white girls. There's just something about them.

Not generally being attracted to a race =\= racist
Dismissing an entire race as unattractive knowing you'll never meet everyone in the race = racist

I'll say again: if you're categorically excluding a race from your dating pool specifically because of their race, you're racist

No, you can't control what you're attracted to.
But it's pretty f***ing weird if you can't find a single person out of a group of hundreds of millions of people attractive. |
|
No but you are probably prejudice to some extent if you must let people know you aren't attracted to an entire race

He's limiting his own dating pool. It's definitely racist, but probably one of the most mild forms out there. |

There's not a single race that I haven't found someone that's attractive from.

No, you can't control what you're attracted to. Is it that weird? Personally I haven't found a race yet that I'm not attracted to, but I am not attracted to overweight women. Out of all the hundreds of millions I can say I wouldn't find a single one attractive. That's just the way my mind works, can't control that. |

Yes. Hundreds of millions of people in each ethnicity, but all of them are unattractive even though you didn't even see 1% of them? It also mainly said about minorities to. I still can't imagine why people can't find these women attractive.

Well, in the sense that races contain a wide variety of people such that you can't really pigeon-hole them, sort of.
I could sort of see someone saying that they haven't yet been attracted to anyone of a particular race, but to tar them all with the same brush... eh. |

Not at all.
I'm extremely attracted to black males and not attracted to black females at all. Very attracted to asian females and not attracted to asian males. Just preference, don't view the people as any less, I just don't think about them in a sexual way.

I still can't imagine why people can't find these women attractive. I think they are sexy. But like I said, you don't get to choose what you are attracted to. Maybe brown, white, or yellow skin turns someone off physically. Or maybe big feet turn someone off. Who knows? People find Emma Stone attractive, I think she looks like a bipedal lizard creature... Physicial attraction is not a voluntary thing, you dont get to choose. |

No. It's called a preference.

not at all. some people are just attracted to certain races.. or just not attracted to certain races.
think... mustard. If someone doesn't like mustard, but likes ketchup, is that person a picky eater? No they just don't like mustard and that's ok. More mustard for the rest of you all.

I still can't imagine why people can't find these women attractive. The problem is, especially with black people, none of these characteristics apply. Black people vary from purple black to snow white, with various facial features in between. Would you say she is black or white? https://cf.girlsaskguys.com/a22743/67d8b965-849f-4f24-8c7c-ac5fe687ec40.jpg Would you say the baby born to the two african parents is black or white? http://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-baby-shocks-black-parents-medically-possible/ The people stating preference are quite honestly racist hiding behind words, as it is impossible to meet enough people of a race to make a solid preference based on what you seen, as they're just to varied within that group. The only way you can truly state that, is if you have a generalized understanding of that race's features and appearances, which is textbook prejudice. |

If you specifically wouldn't date a person because of their race, then yes, that's racist. But if you're generally not attracted to physical features of a certain race, that's an uncontrolled response and is perfectly fine. Even in that case, however, it's hard to imagine there isn't a single person of the given race that you don't find attractive.

It also mainly said about minorities to. I still can't imagine why people can't find these women attractive. People make statements about preference all the time. People say they love white women or Asian women, etc. I'm half black myself. A while back I had to stop dating a girl because her mom wouldn't allow her to date a black guy. What her mother did, THAT is racism. However, if the girl had not been attracted to me in the first place because of my skin tone, that is not racist. Personally I prefer browner skin, not too dark, not too pale, but I could imagine some people just don't like any shade of caucasian or any shade of black, Asian, etc. The brain is strange when it comes to attraction. Men aren't naturally supposed to be attracted to other men, or women to women, yet gay people exist. I don't believe being gay is a choice either. You never know. |

I think the right thing is to say that you heavily prefer a certain race, sexually. But outright saying you never would seems spiteful.
But the biggest thing is you should never actually say this as a reason is because it's just rude. It's fine to have that preference, but keep it to yourself. If you turn down a black girl or whatever, even if you must lie that you just don't feel any chemistry. There's no need for hurt feelings.

I give you my condolences. However, if the girl had not been attracted to me in the first place because of my skin tone, that is not racist.

Men aren't naturally supposed to be attracted to other men, or women to women, yet gay people exist. I don't believe being gay is a choice either. You never know. That is different from what I am saying. Race isn't based on skin color alone, and you side-stepped that argument completely. It doesn't matter about tone, some people find the idea of blackness repulsive completely, and project that idea onto a whole race where some people don't even have any of the features or even the skin tone. It is undoubtedly racist. |

I don't know if it's racist, but I think it's weird as f*** to think no one of a certain race is attractive

I've said it before and I'll say it again: even if you are "racist" for not feeling yourself sexually attracted to people of certain races, I feel this isn't an instance of the kind of "racism" that actually matters. So long as you're conscious of the issue and you're careful not to discriminate against anyone in ways that might actually impact them, and you treat them as far as possible with fairness and respect, it won't matter either to them or to you that you're not going to sleep with them. You may not be doing yourself any favours by missing out, but you probably won't be doing them any disservice either.
Some people are obsessed with the idea that everyone has the duty to achieve an ideal, perfect state of mind in which any stray thought, every unconscious impulse, and all feeling can inspected, dissected and rubber-stamped to certify that it's clean and pure and totally racially 'neutral' in conformity with this month's edition of the manual. I'm sure that's a wonderful aspiration. But rather than demand impossible standards, and treat even the most trivial fluff as if it's immensely important and the failure to match such standards as an unforgivable transgression, we should instead just learn to prioritize our concerns: to focus our energies and address those things that genuinely matter.

I think that is two different issues. Mu question was is it racist to not be physically attracted to certain races, not is it racist to not date a person because of their race. I suppose it is nearly impossible for someone to not be attracted to an ENTIRE race, but I could imagine someone not being attracted to the MAJORITY of a race. |

I'm throwing in with the "Not in a way that matters" crowd.
Racism is an opinion/view one actively holds. If your brain simply doesn't fire off the chemicals needed for you to feel attraction when you look at certain races, you can't control that. That's different, however, from going around and saying, "I will not date people from this race." That is an active opinion, and that is racist.
This is LinksLiege's signature. It is fantastic.

I agree that having a strong preference in certain races or ethnicities isn't racist, but saying that you wouldn't date someone because of their race is pretty racist. It's not going to keep me up at night, but it is what it is. I've also heard people seriously say they wouldn't date someone because they've dated someone from a certain race in the past.

It's like, being attracted to tall men is fine. You just like tall guys. Being attracted to big uhh. Ducks is fine. It's just attraction and what works for you. Personally I like small ducks https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8d/27/f3/8d27f3c50a80219e7df8121b59e73707--raising-ducks-duck-duck.jpg
