[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like saying "I would never date a black person" is racist.

But just not being attracted to a black person and never happening to date one is not. One implies making a preconceived notion about an entire group of people, the other is the result of a set of personal preferences played out over a dating life.

I am not super attracted to Asian men, but there is a certain flavor of super fit kind of punk California Asian guy I would totally go for. And I would never say I could never date an Asian man. I think that overall, I would 'swipe right' so to speak on less Asian men than other races. But eliminating an entire ethnicity just because of an aesthetic preference is actively trying to hide racism, because there's always some version you would find attractive.

TLDR: If you refuse to consider anyone outside your race ever BECAUSE they are outside your race, then that is racist, but if you go through life open minded and happen to never date outside your race, I do not think that is racist. [/quote]
