There’s a fine line between a preference & fetishization. You can have a preference for blondes, for instance, but if you prefer blondes bc you think they’re dumb & you find that hot, you’re in fetishization territory. You’ve selected your partner bc you have a hard on for a stereotype, not bc you love the person. The problem with people who complain about not being able to have a “preference,” is that they probably have a fetish, but aren’t willing to understand why that’s bad.

I wouldn’t say it roots in racism. I’m an indian woman who prefers to date black or indian men. I’m almost never attracted to Hispanic men even tho they’re also brown skinned. That doesn’t mean I hate Hispanic people. I’m just not romantically attracted to them.

and also you aren't born inherently attracted to one race, thats just not how it works. you're conditioned by your surroundings. white people who grow up in black spaces tend to me more attracted to black people, and black people who grew up in white spaces tend to me attracted to white people. those r okay! however, if your preferences is just based on racial stereotypes, then thats not okay and you should do some soul searching on why that may be.

like how you literally said you like big booty latinas, and i'm almost willing to bet money the reason you don't like black women is due to the stereotypes around them being "loud" or "overweight" and "ghetto" not bc you're actually physically not attracted to them. since there is no way you possibly have seen every single black woman in the world.
