It can be yes... but preferences can be discrimination hiding behind preferences...
It's no different than a boss telling a Asian person you are not qualified for the job when in fact he just doesn't want an Asian person working with him - will you ever know? nope... does the person have malicious intent to not hire you, yes... is it a preference.. Yes,... is it also racist/discrimination.. YES
I don't think it's necessarily racist, but many times I can be.. And I agree that if you refused to date any group than that is pretty much racism.. Why are you refusin to date that group? It's silly really.. People complicate ish too much.. Also "preference" is affected by what you consume, and daydream about many times..
It's not racist but if you limit yourself to what's familiar and still expect to find a good partner, don't count on it. If you look for certain people outside of your race, then dismiss the whole idea of finding a strong character jn a mate. If you don't want to date certain people from certain cultures, that's different and sometimes customs and language barriers can impede in a good relationship. Not their fault.
Everyone has a preference because everyone is attracted to different types of people it is not rarest but it is shallow. People fall in love with personality rather than looks. If you're just basing finding love through looks it will be harder for you to find love
It is very similar to not wanting to date a guy because he is overweight or is super rude. Nothing wrong with wanting to be attracted to your partner. Nothing to be ashamed of, express your opinion and go for what you like.
All these " racist " questions !! It is personal preference , ALL races will have their attractive & less attractive members , I'm a Eurasian mix of Uralic / Turkic , Slavic & Celtic ( giving my unusual change colour blue / green eyes ) & have also dated different races , but predominately Europeans. Racist is overused & used out of proper context by the " Liberals TM " ... getting boring... get some new material !!
Oh my good ness what happened to this world? This is so stupid. Why don't people just fall for who they fall for? Now men are judging if they would date a woman or not by the color of their skin? What the heck. Be with whoever treats you right. You are still young.
Well looks is a poor excuse for only preferring certain races because physical features overlap across races. For example, what race do you think this woman is? encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images
If you guessed white, you are wrong. She is actually Turkish.
Do you see why it's silly to say you only find certain races attractive? If you prefer white girls, many Middle Eastern and Hispanic women can easily be mistaken for white and be virtually indistinguishable.
@Tlnet to me she looks turkish with bleached hair but i take your point. im sure we were talking in 'general' terms though so your pedantry or patronisation is not required thankyou
No it isn't racist to not be attracted to someone with different skin colour/culture or belief in romance, I'd day it's more fascist to force the idea that one MUST be attracted to all.
It's like some prefer strawberry flavour others like vanilla.
As long as you're not harassing/ bullying o Judging another due to their race then there's no problem.
Whom you choose to date or not date can never be bad. If it is then the proponents of such a thought are obligated to come up with ways of controlling the dating lives of people.
No I dont feel it is, I prefer black/mixed woman. I won't date a white girl simply because I dont get turned on. Something to do with the way my brain is wired. Now I might date a white girl if she could understand that I wouldn't get turned on and we most likely would rarely have sex.
For sex purposes i like all women, for dating and marriage i like white girls, well more accurately caucasian women, the darkest skin tone i would go to is light olive which is the same as mine, i like fair skin , eye and hair color is irrelevant but i like fair skin and caucasian features.
Its not racist this is what i like you can't force me to like somehting else
Nope. Date who you want. Nutters trying to guilt folk into dating their ugly arses is all this racist shit is. I'm a white guy who only dates white women and if anybody called me racist I'd say sick my dick
It's not. As long as you don't hate a certain race or consider a certain race "inferior" it's no racist. Racial preferences can't be controlled, they usually come as a result of the environment a person grows up in.

There is nothing wrong with having a preference, but as a man who is attracted to women you should be open minded to all types. I find it childish when a man claims to only be interested in to certain women.
I don't think so. I honestly prefer white men, but that doesn't mean I am opposed to dating men of color (and I have before!). As a geeky white female, I tend to prefer geeky white males lol.
I can't believe there are people who actually believe it is. If having a racial preference for dating and sex is racist, then racism isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Absolutely not. Not intrinsically, anyway. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just a radical, cultural Marxist
if its based on looks then its just a preference but if its based on racial stereotyping then thats different

It's not racist, though I think a lot of the people on dating sites are. I'm like you too and prefer other kinds of women.
No, in the same way it isn't sexist to date a certain gender. However the reasons behind not dating can be racist.
I can't believe there are people who actually believe it is. If having a racial preference for dating and sex is racist, then racism isn't necessarily a bad thing.
