Do you think it’s racist to only want to date a particular race? or having a racial preference in dating?

[bellicose]

Nope. For people that aren't retarded, words aren't just cool sounds that come out of your mouth, they actually are connected to some sort of meaning. In the English language racism has a specific conditional meaning.

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

If you think a particular race is sexually attractive and another one is not, that has nothing to do with their character or ability, nor does it speak to if any race is superior over another. You are judging someone's attractiveness entirely on the way they look. It's just what turns you on. If you think Black people have big ass noses and that's unattractive, even though that's a stereo type it has nothing to do with their character or ability. You can have a big ass nose and be ugly as sin, but be a great person and have all sorts of abilities and talents. At the end of the day you are still ugly and a lot of people aren't going to want to get naked with you.

[bellicose]

*"stereotype"

[OlderAndWiser]

I think that none of us choose to be attracted to, or not attracted to, any particular race. It would be stupid and disrespectful to date someone of a different race if you weren't attracted to them, and I am not into virtue signalling.

I am Caucasian and I have dated women from many different cultures and different races, but I have never dated a black woman, as I have not met any to whom I was attracted. I have dated Caucasian, Oriental, Hispanic, and American Indian women from the US, Poland, Ukraine, Germany, Ireland, Colombia, Brazil, Phillipines, China, Vietnam, and India. But I never dated a women BECAUSE she was German, or Oriental; I dated women because I was physically attracted and they seemed to be nice women. I am now married to a woman from China.

[rosemilk]

being racist and having a preference are completely different!

racist definition: a person who is prejudiced against or antagonistic (very important to note) toward people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

preference definition: a greater liking for one alternative over another or others.
"he chose a clock in preference to a watch".

as you can see, completely different. one just spews out hate. the other one is just personal preference on what someone likes...

[abbyjgriffin98]

No. You can date whomever you want. The only time it becomes racist is if you treat others races as if they are inferior to you.

[Finchie40]

Not at all, everyone has their own preferences of what they like and don’t like , so nothing racist about it , if you are only attracted to one particular race? , that is your preference, it doesn’t mean you hate everyone else, you are just attracted to that particular race.

[Avicenna]

While there could be racist motivations for such preferences, merely having racial preferences in dating isn't racist. Dating someone from a very different background from your own with a different outlook on life often isn't easy, which is why most dating is not between races.

[Summeroflove]

I think having a race fetish is a little weird but you like what you like. I do think people should focus on what’s on the inside people can’t control their race but they can choose who they are.

[Summeroflove]

A presence is the same as blonde or brunettes as far as I’m concerned.

[ohsheeT]

No I think it's a choice I mean I like all kinds of food But this moment right now I would go for a steak in a baked potato.

[Lliam]

Not at all.
Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism toward all members of a particular racial or ethnic group.
It is the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.

But it's not racism to be physically attracted to a certain phenotype. You might be attracted to blacks, Asians, whites, blondes, brunettes, tall, short, or whatever. Those things are just physical preferences.

[Kelley1]

In our modern society, the truth is racist.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, its racist to hate a particular race, but sexual attraction is not a mental process, its a reflex grounded in one's own genetics.

No one has any control over what shapes, sounds, movements, textures, colors or patterns make their genitals swell up.

You are born liking what you like in terms of sexuality and hobby/interests preferences, and some people will fit those preferences, while others won't.

Your choices about what you pick only change based on what you do or don't get exposed to, so for example if you never hada specific type of pizza before, you may say you prefer another type until you try that type. But you were born with the body that, if exposed to that type at some point, you would prefer it.

[RingOfFire]

Of course not. What's racist is to make believe that everyone isn't a racist. Every person whether black white or otherwise has racist natural instincts. It's normal and nothing to be embarrassed about. People like to be around people who are both physically and culturally similar. There's nothing wrong with that.

The biggest racists I've ever met with black people when I was dating a black woman. But I get it. Like I said they have a natural instinct to want to stick to their own.

The only ones who aren't racist are the liars who are so afraid of being criticized that they have to make believe that they don't care about race. Those are the people who are reprehensible. They're such cowards and they allow other people to manipulate them by threatening humiliation if they don't act the way they want them to. These are the people who cause problems in society not the people who are naturally racist.

[sawno]

No I think that's just biology. If this is racist we should cure homosexuality so those people can have families. If you just thought that sentence was ridiculous you know how I feel about giving people shit for their sexual attraction because by the same logic you can't control which race you are attracted to.

[Apple1996]

Lots of gay people do have families 😂

[sawno]

@Apple1996 I used a talking point thats not mine to illustrate how redicilous the notion is.

[Joshydavid25]

I mean it's not really a simple answer.. There's nothing wrong with the fact that you just so happen to find a certain groups features very attractive and so you prefer someone of that group.. But excluding any or most groups from your dating preference is pretty racist.. You're excluding them for a reason, and it's most likely based upon a not so great generalized view of them..

[Being_a_good_Indian]

Having a racial preference in dating isn't inherently racist, but it becomes problematic when that preference is rooted in prejudice, stereotypes, or fetishization, rather than genuine personal attraction.

[RavVid]

A potential partner has to work for you. I like rectangular faces and it is quite a strong preference. Just last week I realized the women I am friendly with all have the same face.

There is a strong same same but different evolutionary pressure. It maintains local adaptions to the local environment.

[FunkyMonkee]

What I think is racist is people that won't STOP TALKING ABOUT RACISM!! IT'S DEAD!!! LET IT DIE!!! The more you keep picking at the wound the longer it's gonna take to heal!!!
If you don't wanna date someone from another race, that's YOUR CHOICE and it's NOT RACIST!!

[Staximus]

It's not racist, it's reality. Everybody has their own opinion about who's attractive and somebody else not agreeing is not going to change it. I find women of all races attractive, I'm more worried about their personality and if they are bat shit crazy

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

A racial preference wouldn't be racist. We all have an idea of what the ideal physical features of a partner would be like and the general features of some races will match it more than others.

But saying I will not date someone from a given race is racist.

[7Phoenix7]

I don't think it's racist to have a preference, no.

[Zack-Bann]

No one in their right mind would equate the two


Even though I personally never wrote off an entire race from my dating preferences some people have written me off and I don’t think they’re racist for it

[meepmeeperton]

Not necessarily, although you could fetishize a race based on certain stereotypes and that could be considered racist. But at the end of the day if you have genuine attraction for one group it's out of your control.

[Manuelwe]

I knew a woman who would only date one race. But everyone said hated her for it. Even her favourite sister hated her. One day after they had kids together. He would beat her and force her to sell herself to other men. But eventually it was a man form another race that helped her out and they became lovers
Judge by heart not race

[Pet68]

That's what's known as personal preference, and everyone has it, even those who like to pontificate to the rest of us about how we should all "tolerate" those who aren't like us.

[Smashingdoozy]

Yes and no. If you would turn down your perfect ideal person because of their race then that is absolutely racist

[JazzLuvnAnt]

It is racist only if you think members of your preferred race, to date, are somehow superior to members of other races.

[Kelley1]

Is it racist to only want to drink white wine? Is it racist to have a preference?

[itsannalee]

Yeah that's racist when you think or talk about white wine and drag it with something about racism😉

[MemeSupreme]

dating only one race is

having a preference isn't bc it DOESN'T mean you'll only date one race

[lightbulb27]

um, yea, that's like... the definition.

But so what, you be you and you have your reasons and it's your life.

[trumpetplayerforlife]

To me no that's just who you find attractive it's how you deliver that message or treat the people that can be

[WhitneySnow]

I can only speak for myself, and I’m attracted to some people of all races. I don’t presume to judge how others feel on this issue.

[chrissykerdock]

no in the end you can only date who you like

[Jhoward]

I just want black dick , my pussy wants black dick , I can't help it that's what turns me on

[Fireguy17]

nope noyt at all.
It is no different than dating someone for the size of their boobs, or hair color...

[Shiprex]

It's a preference rather than racist. Exoticism when you've grown up in a culture of scarcity makes the new seem more valuable

[Bklynbadboy12]

No it's not you just have a preference. You don't hate the other races you just prefer to date a certain type of guys

[KittygosMeoWW]

It depends if it’s based off of appearance or cultural background.

[Professor-college]

Well I don't know what to say in y case I have dated black, latin , European and Asian women. I don't think that should matter at all. I have been working and studying for a long time that's probably the reason why I'm still alone

[cth2188]

No it's not it's a preference

I have a preference

😊

[MoonFace2]

Nope. A different race isn’t a different species.

[ChicoFromThe305]

It's not racist, it's a preference at the end of the day

[monkeynutts]

Nope, date who you are attracted too. And if someone wants to be rude about it, tell them they are fucking ugly aswell.

[Smegskull]

It is not a decision so no.
I suppose you could say ot is evolution being racist but in that case, so what, evolution isn't an entity you can punish.

[GAGsucksballs89170]

Yes, you're literally saying you only want to date that race, BECAUSE they're that race. That's the exact def. of racism

[AgentG111]

Nope, if a certain person isn't attractive to you then don't date them.

[foxsquirrell]

It is racist, but who can tell you anything about that. You date who you want.

[fish5505_87]

Not at all, your preference is yours, and yours alone.

[yepthatsme1980]

Not at all! It’s similar to, you prefer strawberry over vanilla ice cream.

[Unap0logetic_]

Nope, not at all it’s a preference.

[Apple1996]

Yeah i think it is

[NicholasRedone]

The women answered for me 😐

[Agape93]

No that's just preference in what you like.

[HungTexan]

That’s your decision. Not racism.

[Ironic_Method]

Preferences are not racism.

[dudeinohio]

Not racist. Everyone has a right to a preference.

[Iron_Man]

No it’s a preference

[Jay-_-]

Overall, honestly no it's not racist.

[LiamJHayden]

Can be, but is not necessarily so.

[LiamS95]

No not necessarily.

[Gymrat01]

No, it's a preference.

[Trefivsev35783]

No people know what they like I would say

[Balancee]

I don't think so.

[FenixG45]

Nope! It's a matter of preference.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I don’t no lol

[Amur8711]

No that isn't racist.
