The mixing of different genetics is a wonderful thing and proves race really is just a social construct.
2) Yes it is racist if u discriminate potential people without getting to know them on a personal basis first (because you are flat out judging on skin color solely).
3) It's okay to have a preference but you cannot sit up there and go for your preference 24/7 (especially if it's a damn white preference and no minorities) and act like you aren't being borderline KKK in your approach to dating. This is why a lot of you end up in temporary, lame relationships with the same type of boring person who uses you for sex and throws you away after awhile/cheats on you (#toxic mess tbh). Pigeonholing your choices narrowly into one race or type does that to you more often than exploring your options.
4) Me personally, I have a changing type in people and what I like and I appreciate that about myself. I don't have one type that I'll chase after endlessly and I'm open to dating all races because I feel it should be up to if our personalities work together (and whether the person is actually cute/hot regardless of race because i'm superficial but that's another story).

I just don't get it. How can you deny an entire race? You're basically saying they all look the same and that makes them undesirable to you. That's prejudice.
I can understand having a preference for cultural reasons, but in this day and age that doesn't mean you have to exclude certain races.
I personally don't really understand the whole racial preference thing. There are attractive people in every race. I can't imagine limiting myself like that.
