It's not a preference at ALL, it's 100% racism. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to sugarcoat that bull.

I agree I think it is racism to a certain degree

[accelgors]

my only boyfriend was mexican and latino guys are really hot so definitely, i'd date anyone of any race tbh as long as i like them and they're attractive (and i think every race has attractive people in it)

Well, it might have its roots in racism and white supremacy, but since beauty is subjective, we can't be sure if it is a prime motivating factor or simply one of many. I don't think telling people their views are racist will do anything to change them. The problem is not whether it's racism or not, I think the problem is what do we do about it?

[accelgors]

also yes not wanting to date outside of your race is based on racism. the different races don't look so different from each other that it's purely physical. the only reason you'd have to not date them would be stereotypes. judging people of other races based on stereotypes is racist. it's that simple

yes, we actually can. beauty is subjective but when a large number of people are all saying the same thing beauty-wise based on a factor that doesn't have that great of a change to looks, it definitely is based on something other than physical attraction. if your interpretation was true there'd be like 100 people who don't want to date black people instead of how many there really are

[Kiel D-01]

I'm asian and my bf is white so yeah

[G.U.Y. Gaga]

I've never had black anaconda before so yes

[Last Boy on Earth]

No.

[HausofApolo]

[H-I-M]

I've only dated white people so far. The power of the swérl.

Is it racism if they keep it to themselves though? Like it's definitely racist to project it. And by that I mean, to put it on your grindr profile and say "no ******* or ********* guys" which is really, really common on grindr profiles in Australia I think that's really mean because there might be some young, gay kid of a certain ethnicity who feels really depressed and alone, discovers grindr, wants to reach out and talk to someone else who's gay, and the first thing he sees is racism saying he's not good enough or he's not attractive. Gay men should know what it's like to feel excluded, so they shouldn't put that out there for young gays of certain races to see.

But is it racist to simply just feel it? Because at the end of the day, you can't really help who and what you're attracted to. Simply being gay is an example of that. In my opinion, it's racism when you put it out there for others to hear, see and be offended by. But if you just keep it to yourself and say something vague like, "hey, you seem like a great guy but you're just not my type sorry! Have a great day " then I see that as a preference. That doesn't take very long and it's way more sympathetic than putting "no ****** or *******" in your profile as a preventative means for certain ethnicities even initiating a conversation.

I like who I like.

But I find myself more attracted to girls who are not my race. It's weird.

[Trent W]

I only like whites and white latinas, and maybe some rare case like Rihanna in blacks, but I don't see it happening outside that, I have a very specific taste, I'm sure a lot of people do, and there is nothing wrong with that.

[Mariano]

I don't mind as long as they are attractive to me.

I have a thing for Black guys if I have to be honest, more than other races, but I also like Latinos and Asian etc.

There are mostly white guys here and I don't complain cuz most of them are freaking hot.

Totally agree with you sis. There is one race that I've felt attracted to guys of that race but I just notice how rare it is in comparison with other races, and I am not racist, I am amazingly kind and races don't matter to me at all, but yeah how can I help it if I feel this way, ALTHOUGH some racist and homophobic people may say the same, but it's different.
