It’s not racist if you are attracted to certain ethnicities over other ones

Anonymous 10w

It IS racist though if you find the perfect person for you and you wont date them because of their race

Nobody owes anyone their attraction or relationship. Never understood why people would want to try and force people into pretending they find a certain kind of person attractive or date-worthy. As a fairly scrawny chick I would never want people to bully guys who like thick girls into “giving me a chance”. Everyone is entitled not to be attracted to/choose not to be with WHATEVER kind of person. Fat, black, skinny, small boobs, hairy, etc. It’s super weird to try and force this.

It's fine to have a type. You can't really control who you're attracted to, and you don't owe anyone your attraction. But I think also it's important to keep somewhat of an open mind. You should also remember that race isn't even a proven biological thing, it's a social construct that mostly exists for the purpose of racism. So if you make an abnormal amount of judgements based on race, regardless if you do anything harmful with those judgements, you are practicing a racist ideology.

The key part is that you’re attracted to all races and not using preference to me exclusions and must-haves when dating

No. There are valid reasons not to want to date someone of a different race. Whether it be cultural differences, not wanting to deal with social pressures, etc. A Mexican man not wanting to date me even if i’m his perfect match otherwise doesn’t make him racist, because as the other commenter said- I clearly WOULDNT be the perfect person for him if he doesn’t want a white girl (it makes sense if you remove your mind from the “every nuanced topic that touches race is racist” mindset).

The only exception is white people and I doubt anyone here even thought this post was talking about not wanting to date white people. There’s no valid reason to not want to date a person of color

Btw there’s tons of valid reasons not to want to date a non-white person (here’s an example: they’re a racist like you with a victim complex). Cry about it.

I also think a lot of people actually do cause harm with their racial preferences by being so open and rude about them. Like you can't just post that a certain race is ugly and expect to get away with it because it's "just a preference".

Entirely different issue. Not wanting to date someone of a particular race, size, disability, gender, etc and actively harassing people based on it are two separate issues that sometimes align but we’re not the subject of this take.

Tbf my race preference comes because of hair. If you find me a beautiful black woman with hair like a latina I’m golden but unfortunately I have yet to meet one :/
