[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Black and my BFF is Jewish.  She will under no circumstance date or marry anyone who isn't Jewish.  She said it is imperative to "keep the race" going.  I get it.

[b]Another white BFF said that she "loved" screwing her African college classmate but that she would only marry a white guy. I get that also.[/b]

Preferences (based on whatever) don't equal racism.[/quote]

I actually think the bolded is racism--clearly, she is attracted to her classmate, so it's not that she just doesn't find black men attractive.  Thinking that an entire race is good enough to sleep with but not acceptable to marry sounds like racism to me.  I would understand not wanting to marry someone from Africa if you were concerned about different cultural expectations and values--my cousin is married to a man from Ghana, and there are some real problems in their marriage based on cultural differences--but not wanting to marry someone just based on skin color ("she would only marry a white guy") is racism.
