Poll: Are You Racist If You're Not Attracted To - Page 7

iHype.

I don't see how.

By that logic you're sexist if you're not Bisexual, since you're not into the other gender despite not dating all of it's people.

You can't control what you don't like.

There we go. Perfect example of what "preference" is. This is not racism, because you are not writing off any other races as unattractive.

Also white people, I don't think you get why black people get so annoyed or "angry" with this. We're at the bottom of the dating totem pole. Even when were trying to date inside our own race "European standards" have plagued us. It's harder for a gay black male to get a date compared to any other race.

This. I would add Asian to the mix as well though.

Pretty much this. Asians are even below us and it's really sad.
I wrote about it once.

No you are not a racist. People only say this when someone isnt attracted to them out of anger I swear

Yup and it's a good thing for me personally cause those are the ones that I feel attracted too.

Question for H-I-M:

Do you think black people in general are unattractive, or are you just not personally attracted? Do you find yourself attractive? Do you think you are more attractive than the average black person?

Preaching tolerance yet generalizing us all like that?

Cute.

But I know so many boys and girls who think white guys are 'lame' and would rather date guys of color.
But I guess that's also generalizing cause that means colored guys have the stigma of being 'street'

Everything is racism.

No, it's not racist at all.. it's just like you don't like short, tall, fat, ugly people.. It's a preference.

This was already addressed a few pages back. Sexuality is not a preference. It's biological.

This is debatable, and not proven. Hence the arguments over if someone is born gay.

Of course not. I hardly find black men attractive, but that doesn't make me a racist at all.

Because all black/asian/white people look alike...

Like the fem vs masculine thread that was posted this weekend I feel I should touch up on that as it is relevant. Feminine men were not self victimizing themselves because guys were not attracted to them it has to deal with the blatant disrespect.

It's the same with race I wish people in general (in the gay community as well) would stop giving themselves such self importance thinking it's about people being mad they were rejected.
There are real issues that needs to be taken care of.

This is the typical deflection that people in this community love to do instead of addressing it.
No one would complain if people kept their attitudes in check.

Here's a blog post that some of you may find very interesting. I'd suggest also reading the comments if you have time, and try to understand why some black men feel so hurt when they receive yet another rejection because of their skin color, even from their own kind.

there are certain features i dont find attractive but i think it is racist to make blanket statments about entire races of people. even if its not conscious racism, it still stems from that sort of prejudice

Agree 110%

No.
8 times out of ten youre attatracted to persons of your own race. If you only attracted to people thhat basically look like you (or like me I only date outside my race) that doesnt make you racist, it makes you a ****ing person.

natural hair and a pleasant attitude, but that's a whole other thread lol.
