We really should consider why we have these ‘preferences’ because they often are linked to internalized stereotypes

I think most people like this don’t understand that it’s not just a preference that is inherent to who they are, it’s is an intolerance that has been learned.

I’m not sure it’s racist, it’s preference. If someone prefers younger men, it’s not ageism. I think it limits your chances to find the one but I don’t think preferences are against anyone.

People can have preference. Some people prefer brunettes over blonde, some prefer men or women or nonbinary people, some prefer a specific race. Rarely is it because of look, it’s generally because of a culture or personality difference. For example, tell me you can’t hear what a black person sounds like in your head. Not that all black people sound that way it’s just a difference. Maybe that’s not the case since the way this message was worded, it wasn’t great.

exclusion is by definition not a preference. you don't know the meaning of the word. you are an apologist for racists

I’m not apologizing for anyone. I was just offering a possible alternative to what it was. But, maybe you are correct and all preferences are exclusionary.

But people are allowed to not be attracted to every other person in existence.

I see your point, but I think if you’re a white person who doesn’t want to date POC that doesn’t exist in a vacuum. You’re affected by your society and systemic racism in your preferences whether you realize it or not. So if you have that preference I think you need to deconstruct your internalized racism that affects that preference A LOT and I don’t think many “whites only” people have done that…

preferences aren’t exclusionary, people just refuse to call exclusion an exclusion 😭 the term “preference” has become watered down by people using it to sugarcoat how they’d never date your demographic

apologia is not the same as apologizing. preferences are by definition not exclusionary. you just have a shit vocabulary

It’s racist. Excluding an entire demographic when they fit inside your sexuality is inherently discriminatory.

Ok I see what you mean. I’m not defending the person because I don’t know what this person believes. I just read the post and offered an alternative perspective. However I do see the problem now. I assumed they responded it’s my preference no offense was a way to ignore the question, I misinterpreted the conversation.

I see what you were saying but the hearing what a black person sounds like is a bit off.
