[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]

No, what's ridiculous (this is the proper spelling of that word, by the way) is to say that you're not attracted to Black men, for example. Because the only thing that all Black men have in common is being "Black". And maybe having a penis. But there's a vast array of different body types, height, hair types, and skin colors among Black men. Not to mention that each Black man is a unique individual, with his own personality, intellect, sense of humor, and sensitivity. To summarily dismiss "Black men" as a monolith to which you are not attracted is racist. [/quote]

I summarily dismiss the same gender as me since I am not attracted to them. And I dismiss certain hair length believe it or not, even in my race.  That doesn't mean I don't see all of the above as equal.  I don't need to sleep with everyone to prove my what used to be considered liberal bonafide[/quote]
+1 if a man is attracted to blondes with blue eyes only he is not going to date an Asian woman.  If a woman is not attracted to men who have really really dark skin, she is not going to date very dark black men.  That's not about racism. That's about preference and what they are attracted to.

Why is it ok to say someone prefers blondes with a tan skin but not ok to say someone prefers lighter skin?[/quote]
