Is it racist to say I'm not attracted to white guys?
I like all other races, (especially blacks and Native Americans) except for white guys
I have a very broad range of what I find attractive and a very narrow range of what I dont fine attractive. I like Mixed Girls, South East Asians, Indians, Arabs, Northern and North Eastern African, Southern European like Greek, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese and also Euro Steppe women like Hungarian and Romanian, also Latina women. Funny thing though, I dont find Haitian, Samoan, or Dominican women attractive in the least. And I don't find Nordic Women attractive either nor Aussie women. Tell me what that's about?
No, it’s not racist. I’m the opposite: I PREFER white guys. And one thing I love about them is that it doesn’t bother them if you and I are or aren’t attracted to them, generally. I’m sure they couldn’t care less whether you are or not. They move on about their day confidently. And that applies to a lot of things, not just people liking them. But that’s only one of several reasons.
So no, it’s not racist. We like what we like and there’s nothing wrong with it. What would be racist is if you see them as inferior, but still I don’t see them taking offense to it like others do. Tell a black guy that you like white men and there’s a greater chance that he blows up from getting offended.
Overall, I myself like everybody. I’ve been interested in my own guys - I’m latina - and also black guys, but white guys are definitely my preference.
Kumetay-what? Lmao I ain't never heard of that. Aside from that, I don't think it's racist. We all have our "type" . Or the opposite. I personally am attracted to either black or white while I don't care about Asian men nor Indians (so called "natives"
@GothRose2 omg u didn't just say indians are ridiculous I hope?
Ohhhh I understand. Uhmm but you call the places where they live " indian reservations " so I don't understand y that is if indians are called native . We should rename it " natives reserve " I think
@GothRose2 Navajo that's kinda cool really. If I were indian I would join the Navajo tribe for sure ... how many are there?
@GothRose2 oh my word that's a lot. I'm impressed
Nah it's cool. You do you, I ain't offended.
Thats like not wanting to date a transgender and then them turning around and saying you're transphobic... It's a preference, or even sexual orientation if you will.
It's your life and your body. You have every right to date whoever you damn well please, for whatever reason you deem fit, regardless of how important or trivial your reasons are.
I'm personally not turned off by any specific race, and I can find a few in every race I could say are attractive. But I have certain preferences over others. There are even some races I can find difficult to find someone attractive in over others.
You're simply attracted towards certain physical features. Nothing wrong with that.

None of us choose the parameters of what is attractive to us so I don't understand how anyone could say that racial preferences in dating are racist. . . except that calling other people "racist' seems to be very popular the past few years.
Attraction is not something I think about. I either feel it or I don't and it usually happens instantaneously. It is not a conscious process. Do you really stand there and think about whether you want to be attracted to a girl? Really?
@Don-_-Don Racism is not inherited, it is learned. Learning experiences in early years certainly can shape some behavioral responses. I am attracted to petite women with small boobs, small butt, a cute face, and a high IQ. I don't know why that is what I am attracted to. I have dated some women who did not fit that pattern but that is the classic attractive woman for me. I can't think of a reason why I should prefer shorter women with small boobs and a small butt; that is just the way it is. I could tell myself that is a stupid criterion to have, but it wouldn't change anything. I have never dated a woman with red hair. Does that mean I hate women with red hair? Your generation sees racism behind every rock and tree and that simply helps to perpetuate a racial divide in this country.
Trust me: it is possible to not be attracted to black people without hating them. Consider this. Is it true that every black person who has never dated a white person is a racist?
@Don-_-Don I don't know how other people feel. I can only say that, for myself, my attraction to some races and not others is subconscious and not based on a conscious attitude. I am sure that some people do not date other races because of attitudes, but that does not mean that they are not attracted to that race. I have found myself attracted to certain women but refused to date them for reasons not related to attractiveness, e. g., she acted like a stuck-up bitch.
It's largely a preference though there are on occasion racist undertones for some people. Maybe you have them and don't realize them?
Conversely, I'm predominantly attracted only to white women. However the next most attractive women I see is Latinas, but it's a 50/50 chance with them. The race I find the most unattractive is Indian women (as in India not Native American) and then black women. But I don't have (perceived) racist reasons for my disinterest. I just don't find their appearance radiant or appealing.
We all have our preferences as to who we are attracted to. I am a white guy and it is cool if a woman prefers other races. If it is for racist reasons then that is a different story. Like "white people are bad for reasons x y z, so I won't date them".
There are races other than my own that I am attracted to! Others maybe not so much. It just has to do with attraction and not prejudice.
You are entitled to not date whoever you want. Just cause you don't want to date the opposite sex, doesn't make you sexist. But I promise you some childish person will say you are racist. More likely to be accused of being racist if you are white and don't want to date a particular race than if you are not white. The world gives some people a pass while shaming others. The world needs to grow up.
Nope, people who claim that can't have it both ways.
Either you can't control who you are attracted to and you can never be racist for what you are attracted to, which is what i believe.
Or, homosexuality is an abnormality that can be cured, which i do not believe.
The people calling you racist for it should pick a side on that one.
Your first point is true and one reason why I like white men so much!
as a straight single white male myself. I tend to find females of all skin tones, races and ethnic groups attractive in their own way. because in the end we're all humans after all. so what matters most in a relationship. if having a personality, attitude and character your partner enjoys. also open to dating females of many different body types. provide their generally healthy and like how they look in a mirror.
No, but it is prejudiced and discriminatory because you view all members of one race inferior and/or the same exact way. Racism would be an explicit hatred of a particular race of people, so it's technically not racist, but I'd still consider it pretty closed-minded.
By definition it racist. But people need to stop caring about being racist because it's getting out of hand. People are naturally racist just like you don't see two different types of sharks hanging out together. I used to hide the fact the I am only attracted to white guys but I don't care anymore. When I see another white woman dating someone who is not white it makes me want to throw up.
That's not being racist. Racist is hate. If you hate a certain background, and are rude, disrespectful... totally different story. I'm not attracted to Asian or African American guys... but I have friends from both sides. My best friend is black.
That is your preference, just like I have no interest whatsoever in black men. I could be proven wrong but I am not looking.
It is kind of racist. And I’m not one to generally throw that term around lightly. Reason being because you are generalizing all white people as being the same and unfit for your interest. “I’m generally not attracted to (insert race)” would just be a preference.
No. You have your preferences.
I'm a white girl that doesn't find Asian guys attractive. Doesn't mean I have something against them or that I can't be friends with them. It's just that I don't want to date them.
Not racist at all, it's just what you're attracted to, hun. Racism is when you assume something about someone (personality, background, intelligence) bases on skin color *alone*.
I like Slavs culture and people. It doesn't automatically mean I dislike all else. I would like to marry a Slav girl. I think you have to live your life and none of the moral police will come to help you when in your time of need. So no, there is no need to burden your mind with such thoughts. I like Slavs not because of their color but because they are intelligent and charming personality
No it’s just a physical attraction preference thing.
It depends on why. If it’s because of physical attraction or you have cultural/religious conflicts, then it’s not racist. If you don’t like white guts for political reasons, then it’s racist. That’s just my perspective.
No. Not at all and I’m a white guy saying that.
Attraction isn’t a choice. If you don’t feel it you don’t feel it.
@Pink2000 well that shows a greater character defect. But if you find someone attractive those prejudices go away.
But I find that some minority men and women complain that people won’t date them “because of their race”’.
That’s pathetic and a cop out. It’s stupid. It’s not racist if you are not attracted to certain physical characteristics.
if no one asks, you don't have to go around telling white guys you are not attracted to them because many of them may not particularly care.
I think it would be racist if you said you didn’t like white guys because you thought all of them were ugly
Pink most people aren't ugly anyway, just average. I just don't find attractive certain features, if you know what I mean
I don't think it makes you racist. We all have a type your just not into whites. Regardless of if you dont believe in mixing or however you see it.
