First, I'll say that making a declaration of an entire group as "ugly" has more strength in emotion behind it than declaring them to be unattractive, although they have the same meaning. AND there is a difference between saying what you're attracted to vs. what is objectively attractive, attractive or unattractive as a factual statement instead of just an opinion. And lastly, some people can see people as attractive without being attracted TO them.
I have racial preferences. I'm not into black guys the vast majority of the time. But I can still recognize a black man or anyone else as an attractive, good looking person, specifically if its following a conventional definition of hotness, to which we can all reference. We all know what that looks like, or have some idea of what many people may find attractive, and can evaluate that someone is a part of that "hot ass motherfuckers" group in society. And, believe it or not, you can do that without wanting to bunny hump them. That's how I feel about black guys. I'm just not romantically or sexually interested. I'm not attracted TO them myself, but I won't ever say "black guys are ugly." First, that isn't true at all. Secondly, if they do actually mean black men (and probably black people in general, though not always) are just less attractive as an objective fact, then I would say that statement does imply an inferiority of one group in this way. And I think many sociologists and historians can link blatant racism to the perception of blacks today. Everything is touched by history, and ours involves lots of racism. Most people are just too stupid to understand that.
Having said that... Societies tend to have specific interpretations of beauty, and societies tend to be dominated by/created around specific racial groups. Even if racist, some groups are furthest from that ideal. (Like black women here, more than bm)
But I'm a black woman myself, so you see I cheated. ;D

I'm Mexican and while I do tend to think that a lot of black guys are ugly not all of them are. I would however date a black man, I mean I don't see why not. But I never have, but ik i have liked a black guy before and didn't care then about his skin color so yeah. However I generally tend to like white guys..
It's obviously racist, but racism isn't bad when it makes sense. Some people don't like blonde hair, and some people don't like dark skin. It's just preference.
Well, I think all Xenomorphs are ugly... would that make me racist?

I don't know if I count since I'm half black, but I'll give my two cents anyways :P
I'm half black and half puertorican,
& I'm not sure if I'd take it as racist or just a sexual preference.
I think stated that way, it sounds racist, but it could just be how they feel. ~I think it's racist because there are varieties of different people within all races. Rather then saying that I would prefer someone say they just don't find someone attractive.
I think it is false. Every race is full of gorgeous people and to stereotype like that is borderline racist
um black guys r some of the hottest on the planet...
Saying all black men are ugly is racist (since ugly is a relative and comparative term). However, saying you aren't attracted to black men is not racist, that's just preference.
Of course not. There's unattractive people from every race.
Yes, it is racist. Black men can be as beautiful and ugly as latin americans, asians, caucasians etc. besides, black men are especially large ;)
Btw, Mexican here!I dont see how anyone can be turned off by a whole race maybe it's cause I'm a guy tho
