Disclaimer: I see this as a personal preference, so even though I would be disappointed if you said no, I would rather you be honest. I think people naturally gravitate towards people that are similar to themselves so it is what it is.
It's really not the same as "identifying with your hair color" or "identifying with your clothing color". There is a commonly known thing called racism, there isn't a commonly known thing called hairism or clothingism.
And no that doesn't mean that everyone that said no is racist, there's a lot of factors that play into this.
