What do you think of people who don't date outside their race? Are they racist?

[Cherokeehp]

I don’t think it’s racist, as long as you’re not actively disrespecting other races. There are plenty of people on this planet that have never dated outside there race. People are typically drawn to people who are like them because there’s comfort in familiarity, and they’re more likely to meet people who are in their own communities. If you’re from a family that’s all the same race, and you live in a community that is majority the same race as you, then there’s a good chance that you’ll date people that are the same race as you. If you decide to only date your race, then technically that is limiting yourself, but that’s your choice to make. People limit their dating pool all the time. There are women out there that only date men over 6ft. That’s limiting yourself. There are men out there that only date virgin women. That’s limiting yourself.

If you mix several subspecies of the same species together they show a preference to their own subspecies even though they can easily interbreed. Humans are exactly the same, we're predominantly attracted to our own subspecies.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No. I strongly encourage people to stick their own people, love their own people and reproduce with your own people as it should be.

I'm strictly for my latina sisters only. Period. Call me racist all you want. 👇👇😍😍

Couldn't care a less. I divide women up into 5 groups:
1. Relations (off limits)
2. Marriage material
3. Pump and dump
4. Non serious dating
5. Fat/ugly/horrible

Hey. If it's a person's personal preference in terms of looks, then more power to them. After all, I can't judge others because of their tastes.

If the reason is racist in nature however, kinda like "Every other race is inferior, so I won't date them", then yes I am going to call them racist. Now that is a more extreme example but I'm sure you get the point.

As for the 'limiting yourself' argument, while you may be reducing your dating pool by an enormous amount, you still have millions of options, so I wouldn't exactly call it limiting.

its time for people to stop saying "OH!! you are prejudiced!!!"
just because some people are not attracted to certain things
WE are suppose to accept that Gay people like Gay things
but if a Man isn't attracted to a certain girl.. or a transwoman.. he's a racist.. or transphobic

RACISM "the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another."

One would have to ask the person if the reason they refuse to date outside of their race is that they believe their race is superior to others in some way. If that person says "Yes" then that person is a racist. Otherwise, it's probably just preference.

Racism is a hate. But people who only prefers people from his/her race, that's a choice, we have nothing to say

[Anonymous]

Everyone has preferences. Obviously you're not homophobic if you're straight and dont want to date someone of the same gender so that's kind of a pointless comparison. I've only dated one person outside my race but it wasn't really something I did consciously. It just happened that the people I happened to connect with around me were the same race as me.. mostly due to the fact the vast majority of the people in my community are my race.

[JDavid25]

I used to think it was racist.. Its not racist.. In group bias happens.. Datin is a complicated thing, so datin somebody who looks like you for simple comfort is fine.. I personally never understood it though..

[Liam_Hayden]

Some like certain colored eyes or hair. People like different body shapes. So, to answer your question, they might be but not because of their dating preferences.

[alice55]

I don't think anything of it they do what they want

[Anonymous]

No, it’s a choice to date outside their race. If you want to, go ahead, if you don’t, then more power to you.

[Anonymous]

I only date within my race. It's simply a preference.

[Nachowedgie]

That's up to them.

No it's called preference.

[Cryptic-Game]

Not necessarily. They may just prefer their potential children to share their race.

[julieanderson]

No it's not racist you just have your preference

[Fuentes]

Nope no
