Perfect! You don't have to be attracted to every race, but to omit an entire race because the Asians you've met in your life are "not attractive", is racist. You can't paint an entire race as something because the people you know are a certain way. Stereotyping is racist, omitting an entire race is racist, etc. And these things, like I said, aren't always intentional. We are taught to find white people attractive or people of our own color . We're conditioned to accept society's standards of beauty and some people don't seem to fit into the racist standard. It's not intentional since it's how we're brought up, but we can change it if we accept it and understand it.
The people getting defensive in this thread are people who don't get it because they don't want to get it. Remember, Hitler omitted an entire race of people because he didn't think they were attractive/good enough.
