[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, attraction is hard wired.  It's rediculous to say I am racist for being attracted to certain races as it is to say I am only attracted to people who are in shape, or to full hair vs bald, large vs small cheated women, fat vs thin. Gay people are born this way, as it is for body features which includes skin tone.[/quote]

This. You literally do not choose who you are attracted to. [/quote]

You are socialized to prefer one skin color over another.[/quote]
Not necessarily.  What about men who prefer blondes or brunettes?  My white DH who is fair colored is attracted to darker coloring in women. Most of his GFs have darker coloring.  He was surrounded by fair colored people most of his life before 22.

I have darker coloring, and I have always been attracted to  me with darker coloring, but I ended marrying a man who is fair. Prior to DH, I had never dated a man who was fair skinned.[/quote]

A lot of white men have been socialized to see women of color as exotic and sexually adventurous. It becomes a fetish.

My XH has never dated a Jewish woman to his family’s dismay. He definitely fetishes AA, Latina, and Asian women. [/quote]
