Can you have a racial dating preference without being a racist?

[Anonymous]

As for me, I’m a white man that only finds white women physically attractive but not all of them. I’m never physically attracted to a woman outside my race. The thing is I can’t help what I’m attracted and not attracted to. One thing I always wanted to know how it all started.

Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism toward people based on their race or ethnicity. Do you have a low opinion of all races other than Caucasian? Do you dislike all black or Asian people or feel that the Caucasian race is superior?

Dating preferences are completely different. People are entitled to have personal preferences in height, build, hair, eye and skin color. So what if a person has a thing for blonds, for example. That doesn't make them racist.

Racism is the belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

Someone not dating you because of your race has nothing to do with any specific race being superior to all others nor does it at all speak to specific racial human character traits or processed abilities. It is a judgment that you a single person are not attractive to them a single person.

I am a white woman who only liked blond, blue eyed men in the past until I went to China and I found my Asian Handball Champion who is the sexiest man I’ve met. I fell in love with him like never before.

However, if I break up with him, I’ll go for blond, blue eyed men again.

I don't agree. Excluding someone based on race, judging someone based on race are both definitions of racism. And when King said I dream, he dreamed for a world without judgement based on race. Kids could grow up without a barrier between them because of race. What is not dating someone just because they are black? A barrier.

Ignoring natural/genetic distinctions or "barriers" does not make them go away.

Maybe God put those "barriers" there for a reason?

[Kaneki05]

Oh look a racist also thinks god exists level 1 troll. Such a shock.

[WonderBell99]

@OldWorldOrder Uh you do realize that race is 19th century pseudoscience, right?

Preference and discrimination are two different things. I still prefer dating white women. I don’t care if I’m labeled as a racist. Nothing can change me.

I date a lot of Asian women (was married to o e for a decade). I am a white male. I date Latina women that much, but in all honesty, I do not really think about it.

i do think many Asian women like the way I look (tall, broad shoulders, blond), so I end up getting prettier Asian women on average

[TheLoneTerran]

If you're including or excluding someone based off of their race, well, you already know what it makes you. Skin color is just another thing people have no control over so why does it even become part of the equation?

[Whatever2929292]

Yes you can and there isn’t something wrong with that. If you like blondes you don’t think someone with brunette or red hair is worth less then a blonde woman

[Wonderwhat]

Follow this question because I am the way and wondering this too.

[Anonymous]

I am Caucasian and I have dated Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, and American Indian women. I have never been attracted to black women.

[zagor]

Yes, of course. Unless your preference is based on a disdain for other races. It is no different than preferring skinny girls or redheads or whatever.

[zagor]

Wow, a lot of the responses had nothing whatsoever to do with the question.

[ColHathi]

I'd argue yes, if it's based on physical appearance.

[Wonderwhat]

Then how do I fix it?

[ColHathi]

@Wonderwhat What is there to fix? I'm saying you're not a racist.

[Wonderwhat]

Never mind I read it wrong. Didn't have my glasses sorry.

[ColHathi]

@Wonderwhat No problem.

Yes we all need to understand we all are humans made by God and the only the reason we all have different skin was at the Tower of Bable

As a white man, being with Asian babes made me lose all my interest in white women.

[Massageman]

Yes you can.
