It’s stupid. Refusing to date outside your race isn’t racist. I’m a white man who’s only interested in dating white women. If I’m still considered a racist because of it so be it. If for example a black man only wants to date black women, would I consider him a racist? No is the answer.
You can’t help what you’re attracted to.
Calling someone a racist because he/she refuses to date outside his/her race is like saying all homosexuals are sexist.
If you actually go and look at an English dictionary from before Google started modifying human language to push a communist narrative you will find out what racism really means. Google was founded in 1997. The definition I like to use most often is from a dictionary from 1994 but is still easily accessible to the public if they want to know what words really mean. If you find older dictionaries they usually come with far more context on the meaning of words. So what does the word racism mean?
Racism: The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
As can be logically deduced from the definition there are two conditions that must be met together in union. First, race has to be the driving factor for specific differences in human character or ability. That is to say, because you are Black, you must have a low IQ. There is no standard deviation of intelligence in Black people, they must all have a low IQ. You can't have a masterful speech writer and orator like MLK or a bright economists like Thomas Sowell or a great legal mind like Clarence Thomas, no all Blacks must be border line mentally retarded based on the very fact that they are Black. Second in contrast a different race like Whites or Asians must all be bright and have a high IQ specifically because they were born White or Asian. You can't have any low IQ White ANTIFA communists smoking meth in a tent on the street in Portland after taking some crack shits behind a dumpster that then proceed to go out and smashing up the windows at the local Target before looting the products with a mob of their Nazi friends because, they must have a high IQ specifically because they are White. The second condition that must be met is that an individual must believe that this particular difference of ability or character solely based on race makes one race superior to the other race. That's what racism is. It's that exact. Racism doesn't mean you hate someone. Racism doesn't mean you make fun of people and make jokes about them. Racism doesn't mean you criticize groups of people. Racism doesn't mean you don't hire someone to work for you. Racism doesn't mean any of that. All that bullshit is just a communist perversion of the English language to insight a class struggle so that they can provoke a violent revolution and steal power from the people to form a dictatorship.
No, it's not, it's just a preference. And everyone has preferences, even those who date all races.
That would be "all homosexuals are prejudiced/biased. Which, of course, they would be. All heterosexual are biased, too. They don't date outside of their sexual preference, for the most part.
Some people want to "woke" everyone by force. It's tiring, isn't it?
I know what the woke folk are talking about, however. All humans are human, and just about everyone is attractive in some sense.
To absolutely write off an entire group of people as "not attractive" at all, or never in any sense, seems narrow. But people are raised in isolated neighborhoods, schools, churches, towns where they never interact with a variety of people or are exposed to different cultures.
They're also raised by parents who would never encourage them to mix with different people, or accept if they did.
The reasons BEHIND this separatism is bias, prejudice and racism. If we all grew up together, went to school and church together, a lot of people would feel differently than you do, as we're all human and all have intrinsic beauty.
Best regards!
It’s not racist. You can date whomever you’d like. There’s nothing wrong with having a preference.

In my world, racism involves a conscious process, a decision to treat someone differently solely because they are a member of a particular race.
When I meet a woman the first time, I almost always either feel a physical attraction, or don't. If my initial response is to be not attracted, I can't convince myself to become attracted. It's like liver; I don't like it and no amount of logic or reasoning can convince me to like it.
I am not attracted to black women and have never felt any desire to be romantically involved with any black woman. I can't give you a reason for this because it is not the result of a conscious thought process. So how can anyone conclude that I have consciously decided to not be attracted to black women?
I am not a white supremacist! I have dated women from many different nations, including Hispanic and Asian women, as well as one American Indian woman.
I think anyone who wants to call this "racism" is just looking for an opportunity to virtue signal. . . and that is an indication of over-compensation for ego deficits.
It is racist because you exclude women as potential partners solely based on the race you identify them as. The black person in your example also shows racist behavior as it is just the same case.
A preference is a different thing. For example, you may generally prefer light skin over dark skin or the reverse. For an actual woman you meet you would then still consider the complete person and typically ignore your general preference now and then.
I had a Chinese friend who was sure that he preferred East Asian women over European women. "What about Virginie?" I asked him about a French woman we both knew. "Ah, with Virginie it is different. Some European women are very attractive." - The individual remains more important than the race and that's how it should be.
I don’t see how that’s racist. Everyone has the right to their preferences. Most people prefer their own kind anyways. I don’t care what color a man is as long as he treats me right. Personally as a black woman, I prefer men of color. That’s just what I’m attracted too. Doesn’t mean I’m racist right?
It’s not racist at all, but saying from my experience - it’s silly.
I was like that. Only dated blond and blue eyed men before like 22, have even rejected a guy because he had brown hair 🤣 I was the most superficial friend in my friend’s circle.
Then I fell for an Asian. Head over Heels. Never say never. Who could imagine? The best lesson haha.
And then about 3 months ago I had to stop dating that hottest blond German guy I met, because I still had feelings for my Asian man.
However, you keep doing what you are doing, I hope my children have a big choice when they are of age.
Nowadays, I don’t care about hair and eye color as much as I used to do. I found out, I have only one life, I should be happy, that’s all that matters, what color is the man that will make me happier - that’s just not that important.
Why are you refusing to date them? If your answered if followed by because they are black. Then you are obviously racist lmao.
And yes if they answered "because they are white" that would also be racist.
Race is different to sex. So that comparison is a false equivalency. One is solely judging based on colour of skin which has no logical reason to be less attracted to, the other has logic reason to why you aren't attracted to what's down there as a dick and vagina are very different things.
It is bullshit. Their are strong reasons for why like should like like. A white skin is the easiest to illustrate with. In northern climes vitamin D is an issue. Yes vitamin D capsules solve the problem of a dark skin but they have only been around about a 100 years.
Similarly a light skin at the equator is going to be maladapted.
Simply, like liking like preserves local evolutionary adaptations. There is emerging evidence that Homo Erectus locally adapted.
Hmmh - there must be something that the Woke are badly adapted for that will cause their extinction.
People are attracted to who they are attracted to nothing wrong with that. But there is a difference between preference vs discriminatory. If someone usually dates people from their own race just because they usually find them attractive that is just preference. Now it turns into racism when one disqualifies others just for the fact someone is of a different race. Personally I wouldn’t compare not being willing to become homosexual/commit sodomy with a man to just dating a women from a different race group. Also even though I like guys who are mixed like myself I wouldn’t pass on a great guy who might be the best in a relationship with just over what color/geno features they have.
if you are only physically attracted to white women then it is not racist. However, if you are rejecting someone purely due to race, yes, it is racist. Because truth is... there are so many American born citizens ( that aren't white) where you can date them and never even know they aren't white if you put a paper bag over their head. Put a paper bag over their head, go on a date with them. You would never be able to distinguish which is a white woman and which isn't. Colored americans born in the US, speak English so perfectly and are so well integrated into American culture. You will NEVER be able to distinguish their race.
I agree. People throw around the word ‘racist’ too loosely these days. Being a racist means you hate another race and you think you’re superior to them. Dating within your race doesn’t make you a
racist.
Calling not wanting to date people of other races is a moronic concept that only those who have been brainwashed by the evil ideology of the left subscribe to. It's all about guilting you into submission so they can control your mind and every aspect of your life. Give these Democrats the middle finger and date whoever you want. They can all go f*** themselves. You have nothing to apologize for and nothing to explain to anyone. The political race pimps who push this crap are the racists and THEY are the ones who owe the apologies to all of us!
I dont think its racist to prefer to date your own. I do however think its odd when people claim to find an entire race unattractive. You can still find someone attractive without wanting to date them. I’m speaking generally here because a lot of people will bash an entire group based on skintone alone
It’s an in-group preference and is deeply rooted in biology and evolutionary psychology. It is not bigotry. Racism is a word made up by the left (the Soviets specifically), and they shift the definition a lot. But it isn’t racism either. For what it’s worth, studies show whites in the US have lower in-group preference than minorities on average. Of course, every individual is different.
As long as you dont disrespect women of other races, i dont think its racism. If you only like white women, then you only date white women. What else are you gonna do? I think it’s understandable for a person to prefer their own race. The same culture, family background, or purely physical, etc etc. Dont get me wrong, i dont have anything against interracial couples. Im in one, and I've also dated guys within my race, and it is very different.. but i learned i can still have the same amazing connection no matter the race. Anyway, its not racism. Its like me preferring to date guys around my age, i Dont believe that’s ageism? Lol, but yeah i dont have anything against older men, but i just prefer not to date one.
I don't see it as racist, everyone has a right to date whomever they want. It's not racist to have preferences, despite what some people may say.
the act is considered racist if you won't date someone outside of your race no matter what. there's a difference between natural attraction and choosing not to do it. like if you found a girl outside your race attractive, yet wouldn't date her because of her race then thats racist
I do not think that's racist. Yeah, this one guy who is Asian was like your a racist and I'm like no I'm not I just am not interested in you... You're attracted to who you are attracted to and there's nothing wrong with that. It's not racist if I only date blue-eyed guys so why is only dating your own race wrong... I do think it's stupid how that works.
I think that's due more to the current environment we're in than anything else. Racism is the hottest commodity in America right now, because its the most effective tool for getting people to fight with one another, instead of paying more attention to the obvious reality that the progressive left is systematically destroying the nation intentionally.
Because EVERYTHING is racist! Milk is racist. Global warming is racist. Highways are racist. Banks are racist. Hurricane names are racist. Once everything becomes racist, nothing is racist….. just woke idiots crying racism every time they go outside
I’ve always been more attracted to certain physical features which are usually found within my own race. Same with certain behaviors and lifestyle choices. If I found similar traits in other races then I would find that person physically attractive. I don’t think having a preference is racist.
I don’t see it as racist, but I do feel that it is rather strange for someone to announce or emphasize that they only prefer to date specific race, if nobody asks. I am not talking about you, but as in general. People are free to date outside or stick to their own kind. The only time I have issue is when they get older and they couldn’t find the race they prefer, they start looking for a person who doesn’t belong to his preference. I have seen this a lot of times.
