What is the difference between racial preference vs racial fetishisim?

A racial preference is when you prefer to date someone belong from a certain race but don't really make it an obligation under your requirement and you're still open in dating someone else if you happen to get along with that person.

Meanwhile a racial fetismism is when you get obsessed with a certain race to the point you're willing to lower your dating pool and you make that requirement an obligation. For instance if a man says ''I want to data Asian women because they¿re submissive and know their places'' that's not a simple preference. That's an obsession and the wanting to control someone you perceived as weak and submissive due to their race.

Racial preference: you're attracted to people of a certain race. You could date them, marry or even have kids with a person of my that race.
Racial fetishism: you think that people of a certain race are only good for sex. You would use them for sex. But you could never date a person of that race, marry or have kids with them.
You can even make racist comments about their race.

I THINK racial preference would be.
"I prefer (insert race) but I believe there's beauty in every race , I keep my options open"
Racial fetishism would be.
"I LOVE (insert race) , they're so fucking hot *heart eyes heart eyes heart eyes squirt squirt emoji*. I only date (insert race)".

The difference is probably in the degree of manifestation of this preference. I think it's not bad. I would also very much like to have sex with the girls the other races, but I unfortunately do not have such opportunities.

Preference= "I prefer to date this race, but am willing to date other races as well" or "I would rather only date this race"

Fetishism= Obsession with race, regardless of their personality at all.

The second is all sexual

Perhaps fetishism does not last beyond the thought of sex where preference is what would be preferred for a partner.
