I think it isn't, you can't help it right? If it's just prejudice, then it would be racist.. but otherwise it'd also be discrimination if you were gay. or straight.

I don't consider that preferences are bad.

The race doesn't matter for me :)

Is it wrong to prefer a strawberry over an apple? Is it wrong to prefer RPGs over first person shooters? Is it wrong to prefer to masturbate in private rather than public?

Why would preferences of men/women be any different?

It's not racist, we all have our preferances, like I rather have a woman with not much boobage than a smoking hot chick with large boobs. I really don't care about race because if she's cute enough for me I want her regardless.

I date white people and the people who are quick to assume I'm racist assume so. They call me names and tell me I'm harming society.

I date another race and my entire family disowns me. They tell me I'm kissing ass and that nothing good ever came out of any other race, and that white people are superior.

What the fuck am I supposed to do? Give up my family or be shunned by society? No matter what I choose to do someone is gonna bitch about racial favoritism.

Dont really care what race they are as long as they dont start acting way to stereotypical. I think a black, asian, mexican(not really much exp with mexican woman but everything is possible) or any other race woman can be as sexy or sexier as a white woman.
Same with apperances that weren't caused by race but by an illness like Ginger. Ginger woman can be niceeeeeee i do hat that overweight ginger kid that posts video's on youtube while making horse sounds.. He sees himself as a race but he's clearly just a kid with no pigment..(well it's pigment in dutch dont know what's the english word, but it's the stuff that makes your skin brown

well that enough talking about racism for me this discussion can take ages..

Preference is genetic. Whether or not it is deemed "racist," it is ultimately useless.

I don't think so I mean personally I just don't find girls with a darker skin tone to be that attractive, I mean this isn't directed at just africans, but people from indian or skri lanka aswell.

Romantically? no it's not.

Being racist to me is like not giving a job to someone cause of there skin color or looking down on others because of there skin color.

No, someone said believing one race is SUPERIOR is wrong. But because I personally find white european woman attractive, does not mean Ifind them to be "Superrior" in all aspects.

When one goes to date someone, appearance are very important. And honestly, as a male Im physically not attracted to the vast majority of people of certain color.

I don't believe there is a superior race, nor do I support that thought. I'd date someone of any ethnicy if both physical and mental attraction are there. It just happens I rather eastern european woman's overall physical appearance. The intelligence or mental part can come in all shapes and sizes, and in any person on the planet.

Racism would imply that you're consciously having the choice in attraction. However, that isn't the case, so it's not racist.

i wanna say yes but honestly you can't really control what you find attractive. i've dated women of all types of races because it doesn't really play an issue into whether or not i find them attractive but for some people it does, at least on a subconscious level. i run into this sometimes though; like, i'll find a latina chick or a black chick attractive but when i try and get on that i'll get a "i don't date white guys" response. i dunno if they really mean that or i just didn't have any game that night or what, but yeah.

now, if you find a girl attractive but won't date her specifically because of her race, then you're a racist.

Romantically? No. As far as romance goes you can't really be racist. Would you say a guy was sexist if he got a girlfriend and not a boyfriend? Nope. In romance it's all just a matter of personal preference (same as fat/skinny, boy/girl)

However! If you don't like/want to love a (say black) person, BECAUSE THEY'RE BLACK, and only that, than I'd say yes it was. It's a fine line...

Lol racism isn't a bad thing.
Anyway I will never love an ape, the thought of an interracial relationships sickens me to the point where I can feel vomit welling up in my throat. And by interracial I strictly mean black, hispanics are fine, and so are asians. Though I would prefer a nice white girl any day.

We all have our own special fetishes on witch kind of person we would like to date. When it comes down to it I prefer pale white women.
I have dated other races, if I think there hot then there hot.
So personality decides the best though.I don't like it when girls chase after me.
If it is a challenge to sleep with them, there worth my time.
How cool is the girl and is she into the drama scene are deciding factors.

The other topic was created by an unintelligible person. Who knows what the OP even was trying to say anyways. The topics seemed exactly the same (just one with less detail and discussion).

i don't think it's racist just to think one race is more attractive or something like that. but it starts getting racist when it actually stops you from getting to know the person or getting romantically involved with them. you can have a preference but still be open to things you may not generally like.

Having a preference for race is no different than liking someone based on their weight or hair and eye color, if you're just getting into the visual aspect. Skin color, eye shape, bone structure- they're just physical traits. I don't want to date a super-skinny, pasty-pale, blonde guy. Does this mean I'm biased against any of those traits and won't befriend someone with those traits? no, it just means I don't want to have to imagine Hugh Jackman every time we doink because I don't find them arousing.

If you're talking about the culture aspect- it's the same as religion. I'm Catholic, so I want to date a Catholic. Spaniards, Italians, those from South America, etc. are more likely to be Catholic whereas most people from Asian countries are not- it's a fact. I'm not going to marry an Atheist/Tao/Shinto/Buddhist/Muslim/Whatever no matter what country they're from and so what if that means I'm less likely to date or be attracted to a certain culture?

When it comes to romance, I am trying to find someone that I want to be with, sleep with, start a family with, do practically everything with for the rest of my life. So Yes, I am going to be picky. Extremely picky. Does this make me racist? No, it just means I want to be happy and I want the person I'm with to be happy as well. I'm not going to date an African-Korean, Muslim, TranSexual with green hair and blue eyes just to prove I'm not racist.

I don't think it's racist when it comes to likes and dislikes in romance.

This is how I see things:

I'm Hispanic, my skin color is a light tan, this is what I prefer in girls.

#1 Latin girls with a color the same as mine or a bit lighter or darker, NOT too white or NOT too dark.

#2 Asian girls (what can I say, ever since I got interested in Asian culture, they look very HOT too me.)

#3 White girls (this is the LAST alternative, I don't like it that much since most are actually RED than white, and that's a HUGE turnoff)

To prefer a certain race is not racist, to discriminate a certain race, that is racism.
