Why are people so judgmental about "race preference"? What about benefit of the doubt?

[strateguy632]

These days if someone would say they prefer to date the "same ethnicity" people jump to the extreme...

and accuse them of hating other races... to the point people are terrified to say their preference, due to such accusation, when they truly have one...

but really the accusers should give "benefit of the doubt" of other possibilities besides hate or superiority.

If a white prefers a white it is just "prefering the same" i mean, the same white person, if he would be a minority, would not reject a minority date, just he is not that minority.

Having a preference is not like nazi nuremberg laws, that were racist and about superiority it is just an etiquette issue like not putting elbows on a table...

and knowing what is socially acceptable. it is not a crime to be uncivilized and put your elbows on the table but it is uncivilized and the same about socially acceptable dating etiquette. It shouldn't be interpreted as hate or a "put down" it is just some people have etiqutte to do what is socially acceptable, and others do stuff like putting elbows on the table.

So why are people so judgmental and call people racist for prefer dating the same race?

Race is a sensitive topic and some people with "racial preferences" are pretty exclusionary, and that's their right, but it does make you wonder what's behind it.. Like nothing wrong with liking features of a certain group, but sometimes people take too far to a tribal level.. Sometimes it should be questioned at least..

What right do you have to judge them as "exclusionary"? You should give "benefit of doubt" other possibilities. Stop being so judgmental josh.

Well, if they don't want to date a certain race, or won't date any others except "their own" I would see it as a bit exclusionary..

Everyone has preferences. Some are beyond their control. I would not have a problem dating somebody from a different race , however I think that the cultural barrier might be a problem.
