My thing is, even if you're mentally accepting of every race and gender, your penis may not be. And the things which turn you on should have no impact on your personal beliefs or views.

Gender is a social construct. Sex is not a social construct. You are attracted to a certain sex because your preferences are biologically attuned to the sexual organs of that individual's sex.
The things that turn me on have absolutely no affect on my views. These are called fetishes. Merriam Webster defines a fetish as: an object or bodily part whose real or fantasied presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression. Being attracted to someone's race is fetishizing their race. If I am not sexually attracted to someone of a certain race I am conditioned to find certain traits of that race as aesthetically superior to those of my own, or others.
Stating: "It's a preference." is a backpedal answer that simply tries to justify an answer with no substance.
