In my opinion it's not racist. You can't help who you're attracted to and some features are more common among some races than others.
Broad nose, thick lips and kinky hair is more common among West-Africans than Europeans and blonde hair is more common among North-Europeans than Asians for example.
It's not true it's only a social construct. It's biologically to have a preference for something which is familiar, but at the same time exotic enough to avoid inbreeding. Familiarity is associated with safety and is an unconscious biologically mechanism. Humans are tribal by nature. Therefor some would prefer some races more than others.
You are completely full of shit. Sorry, but you sound like one of those people that try and find racism in anything and everything even though you have never actually experienced it in your life. I only date white women. I don't find any others attractive in a sexual way at all. I have no issue with them as women. I would be friends and have friends of all races. not racist, despite your racist comments.

I think it's batshit but more selection for me <3
I 100% agree with this "By declaring that you won’t date a certain race implies that you think a certain race has something universally in common that you don’t like" and this is messed up because there is so much diversity within each ethnicity. Basically it's like, if it's not white, Indian, black, etc it's not right. And that is prejudiced.
Sorry but I disagree. Racial preferences aren’t racist because they are involuntary, they are developed based on the environment a person grows up in. I have racial preferences when it comes to dating but that doesn’t mean that I think women of other races are unattractive. Some people may not have any racial dating preferences but a lot of people and since it has social stigma, most people will not openly admit they have racial dating preferences.
Another thing worth mentioning is that racial dating preferences may change for some people. For example, if a person moves to a area where the majority are people who are outside of their racial dating preferences, they might adapt to that environment and start to feel attracted to those people.
In my opinion--
It's quite natural for any individual to be attracted to certain physical traits (or any combination of physical traits), and I don't see why that's wrong. Like, if someone thinks I'm a nice person but isn't attracted to me mostly because I look Asian and they aren't attracted to Asians I don't think there's anything I can really do to change that, nor is it in my right to do so. It's your personal preference.
However, it IS very much racist to publicly label someone as unattractive (or attractively superior) because of their race, or discriminate on portraying attractiveness in media. Then it becomes racist propaganda because you have decided to use your own personal preference to potentially influence the preferences of others. This is why directors and content creators in the fashion and beauty industry have to be especially careful when making advertisements.
Interesting. I have always agreed with some of your argument, but i gotta say it's more complicated than that.
I don't think it should be really right to say "I don't want to date an *Indian*" for instance,
But it's not exactly racist.
Here me out,
If i prefer blonde hair and blue eyes, am I racist to Blacks? If i prefer darkly tanned skin, am I racist to whites? Of course not.
If i say "I'm not sexually attracted to females", am i homophobic? Ridiculous.
I think you gotta look at the wider picture.
I agree it's not right to say you don't want to prefer a whole race in dating choices, but to say they prefer someone with blonde hair or whatever examples i used above is what they generally mean and is understandable.
This is an example of an SJW who was probably rejected by white women.
Sorry bud, but people are free to pick who they want to be with... it is no different than picking the color of your outfit. It's just a preference... not a treatment or another race.
Race is a genetic fact. And it is indeed racist, if say you're a white guy and won't date black girls. And you know what? That's completely fine. Who died and made you king of the universe to tell people they have to date interracially?
static.giantbomb.com/.../2870786-images.jpg
Seriously? What supreme arrogance makes you think you have the right to shame someone for not dating out of their race? That you somehow have the right to tell them what genetics they are allowed to pick for their possible future offspring?
Then if you aren't all bisexual, you must be sexist. And if you don't have sex with animals, you are prejudice against animals.
Such a nonsense opinion. Having preferences isn't racist. I'm not attracted to Asians either, but I am friends with them.
But when I say I'm not attracted to Blacks, then OH NO! Must be racist if it is anything that doesn't support/favor Blacks.
This is such BS.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Not everyone is a zoophile or a bisexual, which I'm sure they'd still consider sexist since they tend to believe there are more sexes than 2. They probably want us humping anything that moves, plus plants.
a preference doesn't make you racist we all like different things and not everybody likes the same thing nor should they we're all entitled to our own interests and f*** anybody that says otherwise I'm both Puerto Rican and Dominican but if a girl was to tell me that she doesn't like Spanish guys then she has all right to not be interested in dating me or sleeping with me that doesn't mean that she hates Spanish people or that she thinks less of them it just means that that's just not what she's into I personally prefer Guyanese and Trini girls but that doesn't mean I wouldn't go out with a Chinese or white or black girl it's just my preference
Well said
I am Asian and I have always dated White women. I don't know if I only like white women but so far all the whom I had been with their personalities attracted to me. I have also met white women who only like "Asian men" and one told me she like the fact I have the "Asian look" and I grew up here. So, basically she had a fetish for Asian looking. I disliked that!!! We like what we like, and no one should tell someone else who they should like. I think I prefer someone choose me for me over my race any day.
"By declaring that you won’t date a certain race implies that you think a certain race has something universally in common that you don’t like and since the only thing they have in common is socially constructed categorization, you’re uncomfortable to a significant degree, which is RACIST."
Case in point, there are no black Russians and I want to date someone Russian as I am as well, thus in fact blacks for example would be off that list.
Regardless, you'll find something to call me racist for, so I'll go ahead and say it.
I'm Fucking Racist, now go Fuck Off.
Don’t agreee sorry, if you find your own race only attractive it’s an normal attraction. Dosent mean racist it’s just preferences and If your a person who find all races attractive (most guys r like this that I know lol) then they just find every race attractive.
With that being said, I LOVE MY RACE and only date my race because I am attracted to my race only but that’s just my personal attractive and prefence.
Well Said!!!
There is no "own race".. It's a group of people who happen to share physical attributes with you.. It's not natural cause you ain't actually born with it.. LOL.
@JDavid25 oh stop with the bullshit, you know what I mean if that was the case racism wouldn’t be exsisted. I don’t care I prefer what I prefer I am attracted to my own race there is different groups of people in that case white and blacks are the same people. I am not against interracial dating or anything I don’t even mind trying other races but my main attraction is my own race just like most guys like lighter skin toned women or some like darker women what’s the difference? I can’t like what I like?
Don't tell me to stop anything first of all.. & Secondly like I said.. There is no "own race".. "race" was made based upon racism.. It was made to make a hierarchy, and suckas like you continue to go by it, and continue perpetuate this subtle racism.. But, you are subtly contradictin yoself.. You say you only want to date "yo own race", but also end up sayin you wouldn't mind tryin other "races".. LMAO.. It shows that there is more to yo "preference" than you let on but that's most people right.. & I don't agree with guys likin lighter skin tone over darker skin tone.. It's colorism.. And at the end of the day ain't nobody say you couldn't like what you like.. But we just pointin out that it's not natural, and may be based upon racism.. LOL..
@JDavid25 um yeah, you must be out of your damn mind if you think I’m going to read that gibberish bullshit. I don’t care what anyone thinks. I like dating my own race cause I am attracted to them and I don’t mind dating other races because it’s not always about looks but personality but I prefer my race.
African American women usually mostly date black men anyways but I like to date what I've been around me most my life. I’m not racist at all I have whites and mix people all through my family. I would like to fuck a black man because I like black men since your dumb ass don’t get what I’m saying ”LMAO” simmer down. Nothing is funny. Try again?
The word race is a easy way to divide human race into groups so if some one ask what r u? The fuck u say? Oh im a brown human wtf?
@JDavid25 I also said just like men like lighter women and some like darker women meaning they have the right to have preferences STOP taking everything up the ass
"um yeah, you must be out of your damn mind if you think I’m going to read that gibberish bullshit.".. But you did read it young lady.. LOL.. Obviously since you respondin, and you typed up more than me.. Long story short then human race is yo race girl.. & How you gon say it's not about looks, but say I just wannabe wit my race.. LMAO.. Then it's about looks whatchu mean.. You talkin about I don't get whatchu sayin but you stay sayin "my race".. Like I said, we all apart of the same human race.. We ain't no genetically different, that's what I'm sayin.. & Yeah why not? I ain't "Black".. I'm brown.. Whatchu mean.. LMAO.. But, I recognize that socially I'mma always be a "Black" man.. & Also you need to simmer down.. Cause I ain't the one callin you a "dumbass", and hurlin insults at you.. I'm trynna have a decent debate.. But I guess I can't do that since you the one takin a big one up the bootyhole..
@JDavid25 oh what was that? Nope not reading it. Go play with your little peanut. “Lmao” that. Might enjoy it. Make sure it’s clean u don’t want to touch your hoohoo then feel on your crusty ass ashy lips. Toodles ✌️👋😉 oh wait... I forgot my “LOL”. Who does that?
When you create proper paragraphs and use the correct punctuations I might actually read it. Hmmm maybe not. “LMAO”.
just don’t get why your so confused babes
Are you sure you are 20 years old? You sound like some amateur kid. Throwing insults at what exactly? I don't see your picture around anywhere. And also you ain't even creatin proper paragraphs. Also, I'm sure you can read what I typed. It's not hard. All I did was type in Ebonics, which is how I sound in real life. But gotdamn you are so amateur. You really need to grow up. Also you didn't even read my ish so you claim, so how can you assume I'm confused.. LMAOOOOOOOOOOO.
In the end all I wanted was a nice debate, but it don't ((doesn't) if that appeases yo uncle tomish ways) look like you can do that.
@JDavid25 if your happy. I read that paragraph and to answer your question yes I’m 20. Your making a debate out of nothing I know I wasn’t born with my own race that’s dumb. My race is black that would be my race. I said race because I didn’t want to say my race I didn’t know you had to be so specific to get things. “ my own race” I would like to date black men only. Happy? And I said I might date another race because people attractions and preferences changes I use to like Arabic men. I use to like only Mexicans I even use to like biracial men. Now I like black men it’s just an attraction and I only want to date black men. That’s just me
I’ll even date biracial now my boyfriend is black Dominican if your personality click with someone sometimes love will take away those attractions and you fall for their personality and heart
Well, that was more of a rhetorical question about yo age but.. Okie.. And I know what you were gettin at with the "my own race" thing.. I could clearly see that you were talkin about "Black" men being apart of yo race, and you only wanting to date "us".. What I was gettin at is that there is no such thing is "my own race" period. I'm seen as a "Black" man, but genetically I'm no different than a "White" man.. We just physically look more different than I do to another "Black" person.. & You are claimin a preference as if you had it all along when you keep switchin it up.. So obviously it's not "you" as old as that line is.. It's somethin you subconsciously choose to go with.. And that's what I'm gettin at, if it was sooo natural then you wouldn't be switchin up like you are.. You basically gave me my argument for me.. Thanks Haha.. Also Dominican is a Nationality not a "race"..
@JDavid25 I didn’t say dominican was a race I know thats a nationality he’s from Dominican Republicain but he’s black and I know that human race is the same. But you tell that to someone eles they would probably laugh that u aren’t different from a white, Hispanics man, U just have different features etc I know that humans are the same and we all have red blood inside our bodies nobody value is less then the other all I can speak on is race because can’t really prove anything through text anyways. Society see different racial groups and I know the genetic thing my auntie father is white and she looks full black I know how genetic works but I am considered black that is what my birth certificate says even if my ancestors is of native or European or Asians they see me as black
Okie well at least we agree on somethin.. :D.. & Yeah, well even if they laugh doesn't make what I say any less true.. Why they laughin they probably think Hispanic/Latino is a "race".. LOL..
I do disagree with you to an extent. I've always found that the distinction is actually this: If you're just not generally attracted to people of a certain race then there's nothing wrong, it's a preference, but if you are attracted to someone but won't date them for the sole reason of their race that's actual racism. Telling someone they have to be attracted to someone they're not is kind of ridiculous.
If choose Black or white OVER black or White makes you racist...
Then choosing men or women OVER men or women... is sexist!!!
Racism is a word that is used FAR too much recently!!!
if you prefer skinny over fat, or fat over skinny... Does that make you a bitch or a jerk?
The only thing we really need to be concerned with when it comes to sexual preference is " adult or child"
ITS THAT SIMPLE!!!
"So why do we accept it when people say, “I’m not really into Arab girls”?"
I don't understand why you want to control other peoples sexual interests. That reminds me of churches 50 years ago with homosexuals.
Who other people want to love and have sex with isn't your business, regardless of why they feel that way. You're using the extremely overused racist label to try to get your way.
Regardless of whether it's a social construct or not, people do not choose who they are sexually/romantically attracted to. If you were to say "I don't date black guys" because you think all black guys are thugs, then that'd be racist. If you don't date black guys because you don't find people with black skin attractive, well I don't think I could fault someone for that.
* Just using black people as an example here; it could apply to anyone.
For me, I am not attracted to Indian men. Not just because of the way they look, but the whole country and their beliefs and how they treat people. That doesn't make me racist since I still respect them but just wouldn't date them.
It does indeed make you racist, because you are stereotyping half a billion people. If not racist, ita ignorant and intolerant.
Lol what are their beliefs?
So what you're saying is that all Indians are backward savages with an inferior disposition?
Any you say you're not racist?
@Gypsy_x No She Is Not A Racist Or Anyone Else Who Dates Within Their Own Race...
@Smoothshave Dating withing your own race is not necessarily racist but this girl is a racist and a bigot according to her opinion on this take.
Since you didn't bother answering let me tell you something 'cuz clearly you're uneducated.
Indians are not Muslims- I know you didn't mention anything to do with Islam but you didn't have to. You're one of them idiots who think all brown people have the same culture. India'd main religion is Hinduism. However it is also one of the most diverse countries because it has a mixture of Sikhs, Muslims, and Christians.
You're stupidity is actually pissing me off. Just for the record I'm originally from Pakistan, and a Muslim. So I don't want people telling me I'm butt-hurt. It's just that she's made an assumption on a group of people and just insulted them in anyway she can.
@anniisa A lot of people can't tell the difference between Asians let alone South Asians in the first place. Pakistani, Bengali, Sri Lankan and Indians are all considered "Indian" and they're all stereotyped as creepy, filthy, cows worshippers and they abuse women and children. Or they're a telemarketer or ICT Technician.
@NeglectedChild actually I was referring to middle eastern people when I said brown people. "But you have your last say anyway sweetheart"
@anniisa If anything the perception of Middle Eastern people is far worse. But yes, I agree with what you said.
"Yet if you choose to date a person based on his Race then clearly you're RACIST"
Pure attempt to instill in the weak minds the "white shame".
Unfortunately, many white women (and Snow Flakes) feel guilty about being white. But this happens only with stupid braninwshed people.
Something like "feel guilty about being white while I (being black) have the freedom to date and do white women." lol
And who is you to decide who t i have or not date, fuck or whatever?
P. S - I will alway's prefer white women. I do not give a fuck if you think I'm racist or not.
It's a fine line in my opinion, you aren't obliged to be attracted to someone you aren't attracted to. The reason however, I wouldn't say "because he's black" because that is every black person. Writing off the entire race. I think it's acceptable if you keep it to the individual, just like people here (Netherlands) prefer a tan skin over very light skin.
I also think it shouldn't be a deal breaker, looks are definitely not everything.
