This thread will get messy and then get closed like all the others. But I will just say this: Saying you are not attracted to an entire race of people assumes that you have seen every person of that race and deemed all of them unattractive for one reason or another. There is a big problem with that IMO. You probably need to sit down and have a serious look at yourself and address WHY you apparently find this race so ugly and unattractive. The result might surprise you. I could go on about institutionalized racism vs prejudice, etc but there have been so many threads on this that I just don't see a point anymore. A simple Google search will yield some very interesting results for all of you that like to write "no blacks or Asians, white for white only" on your Grindr profiles.
No, it doesn't make you racist, but be prepared to be called a racist by the PC crowd (because it
makes them look like "better people"). If you're not attracted to features that a certain
race possesses, then you're not attracted to it -- that cannot be helped.

Basically this.
It's just preference.
I've never been attracted to the facial aesthetics of a certain race
Doesn't mean I dislike them or can't be friends with them....
You can say you prefer people of a certain race most of the time sexually/romantically but you shouldn't cast aside an entire race because you haven't seen each and every one
I mean, isn't this forum full of queens pulling the "omg being gay isn't a choice you don't choose what you find attractive or who you fall in love with" lines?

Why must it always be "PC" instead of calling it what it is?.
I mean in some cases it's clearly not racism but there are some people where it does come from racist views due to stereotypes.
Gay men and people in general think asian men have small penises and have a certain build.
That's not a preference it's racism using preference as a smokescreen making it hard for those who really do have a preference but don't belittle those who do not fit them.
It's difficult for me to understand how you can not be attracted to an ENTIRE race of people though. Because basically what you're saying is that I don't like that skin tone. How isn't that racist? Even if you prefer what are seen as traditionally European features, people of all races can have those, so...
Plus, let's not pretend that we don't know that it is usually the same two races that are excluded. It's ignorant to assume that racism, which is a big problem in society, doesn't play a role in determining what is attractive or not. But at the end of the day, you like what you like. Just don't be a dick about it, I guess.
I don't want to call people racist for not finding other races attractive, but I do believe that their attraction (or lack thereof) stems from the racism ingrained in our society.

There is a difference being not being attracted to somebody and that person being ugly.
Let me think. If your reasoning is based on the fact that they are of a different race, then most likely yes. If you just dont like the person based off looks, then no.
It's just preference.

Of course not, if your attracted to them then your not.
I only like REALLY HOT chocolate man I knew one at work but I don't often fancy them but doesn't
Make me racist.
