It really depends for me tbh.

Sometimes I want that spicy burrito, other times I want that noodle, another week I may be craving for some chicken, and then maybe I'll be feening for whatever white folks eat.

I'm an open buffet baby.

World English Dictionary
racism or racialism (ˈreɪsɪzəm, ˈreɪʃəˌlɪzəm)
abusive or aggressive behaviour towards members of another race on the basis of such a belief

I wouldn't label the person "racist", because they are not hating on the one particular group. Example if I said I wouldn't date Mexicans, that doesn't make me racist. I still have friends that are Mexican, still treat them the same, I just wouldn't date them.

It's okay if you prefer to date someone else because of their skin tone, or whatevs. But if you blatantly say that you don't date mexicans, that's completely and utterly racist since you don't know every single mexican person and can't make that generalization that you wouldn't date them for a specific feature that not all mexicans may have.

I'm not really sure what I think it is, though I lean towards it being racist. Eliminating a whole group of races without knowing all of them is judgmental just on their outsides. Just because someone is of one race doesn't mean they're all going to be the same on the inside.

But honestly, who does it harm? I don't see the problem with someone being racist if they aren't harming anyone. Same with homophobia. If you're homophobic, I don't have a problem with it as long as you don't discriminate against homosexuals and aren't harming them.

Didn't we just recently have a thread like this?

So what would you guys consider someone saying "I would never date a fat person"? Is it not the same thing?

In my experiences I have came across people who blatantly said they don't date asians or whites because they don't like pale skin, or that they don't date blacks because they come in too many different colors.

What logical reasons can someone even list when choosing nawt to date someone of a certain background?

Maybe they just like the way people of a certain background look.
Like, maybe someone like super pale vampire looking people, so they don't date black people because they won't look that way.

I do not prefer to date fat people. They seem like the type to not care about you, since they do not obviously care about themselves for getting fat. But I would never say "I don't date fat people" since I do not know every single fat person in the world to say something like that. I might one day find a fat person I like...

That's true. The main thing with me is what are their actual reasons for nawt wanting to date a group of people aside from saying "it's my preference."

Gerl, what?

There are several reasons people get fat. Only one side of it concerns food. Some have health problems that causes them to gain weight and there are other factors as well.

You discriminating against the big gerls.

I'd say it's the same thing.

If you don't think it's the same thing, go tell a fat person who's in love with you that you won't date them because they're fat, yet you love who they are emotionally. See what happens.

Guilt?

[RedDlicious]

I take issue with people saying that bc it rules out a WHOLE group of people and that always seems weird...BUT sexual attraction doesn't know discrimination. That is like calling gay people sexist bc they do not become sexually attracted to one sex. I have never said never about any group of people, but I get that liking someone sexually is not the same as liking someone as a person
