Isn't it racist to say x race looks the best or y race looks the worst?

[stratford]

It could certainly appear that way depending on how the statement is phrased. It would be better not to even say this kind of thing as it just creates division when at the end of the day we're all just humans.

[MementoMori777]

Not really, racism is hating a race because they are that race.

[Babygirl_S]

Yes so calling them ugly is hating, not loving.

[BoopBoopBeep]

If I call you pretty and your friend is standing next to you, I'm not calling her ugly. I'm not calling her at all. If I say, while looking at you, "your friend looks the worst" then that's a really f'ed up way to say the same thing. HOW something is said has a lot to do with how it's received.

[MementoMori777]

No because they might just not be your type, I recall you making a post saying you like white guys the best then you are saying you are racist to every other race? It doesn't work like that even if you find other races ugly, thinking someone is ugly is different then hating then

[MementoMori777]

Them*

[Babygirl_S]

I am the most attracted to white men but that doesn't mean I call all others ugly. That said, I wouldn't reject anyone based on their race alone.

[MementoMori777]

Even if you did, it wouldn't be racist and just cause you don't say they are ugly doesn't me you don't think it, that's besides the point, it's not racist to think they are ugly, for example if you call shrek (an ogre) ugly, does that mean you hate Shrek? No, does it make you racist to ogres or whatever? No 😂

[Babygirl_S]

Well I believe attractiveness is an individual thing. So saying a race is beautiful is racist.

[MementoMori777]

That falls more into idolizing a race but if someone is always hating on a race that's racist, racism only applies to hate, that's what makes people racist, so when you call a race beautiful you are idolizing that race more than you are being racist towards it, for example when someone is being sexist, is saying all women are beautiful being sexist? Now compare it to someone saying all women are just ugly, it's the hate that makes it sexist mixed with it being on a specific topic, it's just both of these have their own specific topic, one being race and the other people gender

[MementoMori777]

Being* not people

[Blueeyes81]

Then its wrong to say brown eyes are the best and blue eyes the worst or blondes are the prettiest and bald heads are the worst. People have preferences. It's life. Not everyone will find me attractive, doesn't mean they have hatred towards me.

[Babygirl_S]

Yes it's mean to say that and even worse when someone says x race is the ugliest because then you're being racist and not talking about individual traits

[Blueeyes81]

It's defiantly not a tactful thing to say but if you want to see it as racist more power to you. I'm not going to lose sleep over someone thinking I'm ugly or not their preferred race. I suppose dating apps should be banned because some people get swiped left on a little too often.

[Dargil]

Aesthetics matter to people. But what does looking the worst mean as to your treatment of them?

[Babygirl_S]

But people treat the ones they find attractive better

[Dargil]

Insofar as they do not deny rights, it doesn't matter. If you don't like the looks of Inuit, don't date them

[Babygirl_S]

But treating someone poorly because of their race is racist

[Dargil]

How about treating them poorly because of their expressed culture?

[Babygirl_S]

That's also racist

[Dargil]

Everything is Racist, Babygirl. Saying Babygirl is Racist. Okra is racist.

[Sevenpointfive]

would it be racist to not run in a marathon? it's a race and you're not supporting it

[Babygirl_S]

Dumb answer

[Sevenpointfive]

it wasn't an answer

[KostasKouvalis]

I don't think so. Racism is the idea that someone should be treated differently because of their race

[AngryCarl2]

It's just an opinion. It's okay to have an opinion. It's also a generalisation, which is dumb but not illegal.

[Hanrej]

No. That's a matter of preference. It's racist when you imply one race is worth more or less than another.

[TallAnon]

It's just as racist as saying "I like sweet more than sour". It's just your biology.

[Babygirl_S]

We're not talking about food items. They are people with feelings.

[TallAnon]

Sure, that does not change that my body does what it does

[Babygirl_S]

So you don't mind being a racist?

[TallAnon]

My body having natural preferences has nothing to do with racism. Don't worry, I'll treat you the exact same if you're an ugly white girl or if you're an ugly girl from India.

[DextroShade]

It's not racist to have a personal preference.

[Amur8711]

No, thats a preference.

[Babygirl_S]

It's a preference if you say YOU like them not if you say they are the best. What you like is not necessarily the best.

[Amur8711]

Both are subjective. You would say one may be best looking because you like them

[Babygirl_S]

Others don't have to agree that they're the best. One can say they're the most attracted to them. They can't propagate ideas of superiority as that's racist. So saying I like a particular person is not racist but saying I hate a particular race is racist.

YUP!
