The difference between height and race is that height has never caused the peril of millions of people. People have not been raped, killed, or enslaved purely because of height. The reason why height, which is something you can't control, is "okay" to have a preference on is because it doesn't have such a tragic history. Albeit, I think discriminating on height is dumb too. I understand prefering to be taller/shorter than your partner, but if you meet someone who is perfect for you but their height is not what you'd like and you reject them solely based on that, you need help.

Good points and I agree.

Aren't things like height, hair style, body shape also defined by European/Western standards? Yet those are still being discriminated against. Having a "preference" that a women have straight hair and a skinny body with big breast is also very Western-centric. Why aren't these things as scrutinized as skin tone in this case (note that this is referring to skin tone, not skin color)?

It's a preference and that's it, I don't find particular groups attractive and that's all so don't come at me.

some of you are making problem out of no where, what most of us means, we can be friends and have a great time with different races, what we prefer is "bed stuff, intimity (I think you get what I mean?)" with people whom we feel sexually attracted, it's like saying black women who likes her own race is racist because she won't find asians attractive for her? where is the logic?

There is none.
____________
So I guess for us to not be racist we must find every single race in the entire world as attractive?
We can't have opinions and/or preferences anymore? This whole ideology of political correctness (taking it to whole other level) in 2016 is scary. These overly-sensitive people are trying to censor everyone and, soon enough, nobody is going to be allowed to have an opposing opinion. Something definitely needs to be done or else it's gonna get scary..

All I know is that since I have joined this place I have found out that a) we as white ppl will find anything to defend our racism and try to re-package it as something else and b)I have developed an interest to date as many guys from other countries and other races as possible.
It's not my fault that others are missing out.

I just find it funny how Gay people who already get discriminated for their sexual preference have the audacity to go forth and be like no blacks, no latinos, no asians. I mean like really. Its pretty stupid. I mean i'm a black man and I had to tell my momma to stop being racist and stop dating black only if she wants to find happiness in her life (She did stop and now is happy married to a handsome wealthy white man who loves and adores her) sp limiting yourself and in fact be your downfall here are some other reasons.
1, The fact your ass is on grindr, tindr, etc means yo ass already isn't satisfied or got a man for a multitude of reasons so sit yo ass down trying to be picky.
2. It leads to down low culture.Just like how we saw "straight" men creep, we are going to see more of that due to the fact if you are in area of whites only and lets say someone found out you slept with a black guy etc or were into black guys who themselves aren't turned on by, it can be a turn off to them. I've already seen in in the black community and its wrong on their end
3. It also leads to this other culture where it institutes especially among the white community where minorities are okay to **** but not okay to date which happens a lot as well because our worth in the gay community is low based on the racial standards of white gays.
3. The fact some of you all wouldn't date someone because they didn't fit a certain height etc is extremely shallow so I don't even know why people are using it a defense because thats on a level of why does it matter. No matter how you put it, dating based shallowly on physical features never leads to a healthy relationship and probably the reason divorce is so high as is. I feel sorry for y'all significant other because if they get in a car accident and get disfigured I can see most of y'all defending this practice dropping them so fast because they aren't good looking enough for you anymore.

You tried indian food before you knocked it right?
Huge difference right there is you tried it. You gave it a chance and realized it wasn't for you. If you simply said I don't like Indian food because its from India without ever giving it a chance then yea you would be a bigot.
You are a bigot because you never dated a minority or tried to date one so how do you know you aren't sexual compatible when looks only are 1/10 of sexual chemistry.

What you need to do is chill and let people date who they're personally attracted to.
Not being attracted to someone doesn't equal to being superior to them.

I obviously tried it.
How do you know I never dated a minority?
If I'm not physically attracted to a person I will not have sex with them or date them.
I don't get why this is such a big issue.
Are you guys bored and don't have anything else to complain about?

OP is right. Blanket exclusion of an ethnic group is quite problematic, narrow-minded, and shallow.

Exactly, they are saying we must like every person of every race attractive, that's just does not make sense.

If it contains of products I don't like then I won't eat it obviously, I don't like mushrooms, I eat them if there is on pizza, since it won't look good if I start to pick few out of a pizza. It's simply if you feel attracted or not, it's the same for straight people getting boner for women, same for us getting boner for particular race, where is plenty research done and science behind this, it looks kinda primitive but I see you can't understand in the other words..

I'm not about to be called racist due to not (usually) having a physical attraction to Asian people. 
Can't help who you're attracted to, that be the same as if you're attracted to a certain body shape, age etc etc.

I have a question for SJW's.
Is it also considered racist for a Mexican man to say he wouldn't date a black girl? Or does this only apply to white people?
