Is it homophobic to not want to date someone of your own sex?
And that's an implied answer through a rhetorical question.
No, it's not transphobic.
You and I are not entitled to another person's love and sexuality, and their reasons for giving or withholding are theirs alone.
Being a transperson doesn't give one an exception to this rule.
Uhm, I wouldn't date one either. It'll be too weird.
no it's not transphobic to not want to date a trans person but I would never date a trans person that would just creep me and make me feel unconfertable
I don't know maybe it is but I still wouldn't date one.
I will never date a transgender, and if I find my girlfriend is a transgender (thanks God she is not), I will break up immediately.
Not at all. I've only dated white women, does that make me racist and sexist?
Well I don't want to have the race conversation again but clearly it's not sexist. Sexuality is innate so that would make no sense. Gender identity is really complex though and not as straightforward as something like race where clearly saying you're only attracted to one race is, in fact, racist.
No it's not, it's your personal preference. Nice try though
Yes it is. nice try though
To say "I wouldn't have a relationship with anyone of ___ race" is blatantly racist because what reason would you have for saying that other than the fact that you don't think said race is good enough? You can't say "well I just don't find them attractive" because it implies EVERY person of that race looks alike/acts alike/has at least one facial or personality trait in common which is 100% false. All people of one race don't look the same because race isn't genetic. There isn't a gene that says "all 'black' people have dark skin and full lips and act like ___" or "all white people have blonde hair and no lips at all and act like assholes". So what would be the reason for you to not find every member of said race attractive besides the fact that for some reason, you inherently find other races superior to them (which is what racism is)?
lolwut. You're mental.
Being physically attracted to certain races and not others isn't racist. Hating them or physically harming them is.
Way to show your intellect by referring to some as 'mental' I'm not saying being attracted to certain races is racist I'm saying implying that they're the only attractive race IS racist. Do you even know what racism is? It involves prejudice and believing you're superior to others. When you say "I won't date ____" you're being prejudiced and you're implying that they're all unattractive simply because they are said race. You need to do some serious research and thinking before you call someone out of their name for stating facts just because you don't want to look like a racist asshole
I'm not saying white people are superior to non-white people. I'm just saying that I'm attracted to white women. You sound very bitter.
If someone else only finds black women attractive, good for them.
I'm not bitter at all. We tend to interpret things to sound the way we feel. You interpreted my comment as being bitter.. how do you feel?
Why else would someone say "I will only date white women"? Because there are women of all races who look and act similar even though they belong to different racial groups (black women with light skin and blonde hair; Asian women with blue eyes, etc.) I'm sure there are women of all races you would find attractive (even though you may not have met them yet). Therefore, by process of elimination, saying one race is more worthy of your attention in the dating world is implying that you think said race better than the others which is a racist belief. Saying "I don't date non-white women" is equivalent to saying "even though there are attractive people in all races, I won't date non-white women simply because they're not good enough"
Its not that they aren't good enough. They just aren't attractive.
I've only dated white guys.
Its not that a colored guy isn't good enough. I just dont find many attractive. Plus i live in a place where its mostly white guys. I'm sure if i moved to a more diverse area [and was single] id date outside white.
I said C because it does depend. If he thinks trans are gross its transphobic. But if he's simply not attracted to trans its ok.
Same with the race thing you feel strongly about. If i said i dont date colored men because they are gross. It's racist. But there's plenty men of color i find attractive but unfortunately most of thier personalities suck
Your post confused the hell out of me lol. You must not be American because the term 'colored' is not a nice word to use. Are you saying non-white men, on the whole, aren't attractive or that some are? Because at first you said they aren't then you said they are?
Then you generalized every other race of men besides white because you've had some bad experiences. What you said is like a non-white person saying every white person is ____ because they've only dealt with bad white people. Do you see the point there? It's not good to generalize. I just want to make sure this is being understood because it doesn't seem like it is..
"Because there are women of all races who look and act similar even though they belong to different racial groups (black women with light skin and blonde hair; Asian women with blue eyes, etc.)"
No, there aren't. Even assuming it was only the blue eyes and blonde hair I was attracted to, there are nearly 0 Asians/blacks with natural blue eyes or blonde hair.
And anyway, it's the entire package (color, facial features, body, etc) that I'm attracted to. So no, there isn't a non-white girl who I'd be attracted to that way.
I'm attracted to white girls, and that's my personal preference. White girls aren't objectively more attractive, they're just more attractive to me. If you're offended by that, you need to get a life.
Yes there are. I know this for a fact because I have black friends who are either very fair skinned and one who is albino (blonde everything and hazel eyes). I know an Asian girl with naturally green eyes. Who are you to say out of 8 billion people there are 0 people like this who exist when there is even research explaining that this is possible because race isn't genetic. There are no "white traits" because anyone of any race can have any trait. There are traits more common in white people because most white people descend from colder environments but we're literally all the same besides genetic mutations due to climate that make you appear differently. All homo sapien sapiens migrated from Africa into different climates but we're 99.9% the same besides the genes that determine sex, hair color, eye color, etc. which vary only because of adaptation.
Your comment was very ignorant. I'm not offended at all I'm explaining to you why you're racist.
Did you take 8th grade biology? Intro to Anthropology in college? You should know these things. Also, you have a racist belief because you won't date any other race of women for no reason besides the fact that they aren't white and you don't see them as good enough. It has nothing to do with attraction to physical traits because you can find anything in any 'race'. You're really upset over someone calling you out for something you claim you aren't..
It's not racist to not be attracted to a particular race. Just because you don't what to date or have sex with an African or Caucasian doesn't mean you think your better than them. It's called a preference..
It's just gay. He shouldn't be afraid.
personal preference
Very close minded! Unbelievable!
no, it's not.
