Discussion: Do Y'all Think People Not Finding Others Outside Their Race Attractive is Racist?

That’s just you though. I have had nice conversation and friendships with other races but that doesn’t mean I want to date them or have to find them attractive. We are all different and experience different emotions. Just because you do so doesnt mean others will.

And it’s a lot crueller to date someone you’re not attracted to just so you don’t look racist

Never said anyone needs to. I’m not God to dictate who anyone dates. I just stated what I personally believe and live by.

I personally disagree because it’s not like you can date all races anyway

This is kinda weird to say but there was a time point where I found Asian men very attractive but when I got older, it kinda died down? Idk. :neutral_face: I just started to feel more attracted to my black men and preferred to stay in that way.

I believe that the point @1Foreign_Soul is trying to make is that if someone was to just say, without any reasoning at all, that they will only seek to date someone of a specific race, they are then cutting off the prospect of meeting someone better in a different race just because they don’t want to consider it.

I’m really weird. I don’t find Indian or black men attractive and I’m Indian and black. Try to figure that one out :rofl:

I don’t think it’s entirely racist. However, I do believe SOME of it could come off a little prejudice in a way? I’m personally open to dating all kinds of races & ethnicities, BUT I will say I usually find Asian men the most attractive. :sweat_smile: But I definitely wouldn’t pick an Asian man over let’s say a white man just bc I find them more attractive?? I’m all for attractiveness < personality!

But that’s not the point of this post. It’s about finding others outside of their race attractive. Why date someone you’re not attracted to?

How could you!? Some of them Indian men is :stuck_out_tongue::drooling_face: There was this cute Indian guy at my school and I see him passing the hall everyday. He is so cute.

I sort of agree with this. It could also come off as a little fetishistic as well…There was a story of a white girl who was obsessed with the K-POP group BTS, and decided to date a Korean guy solely because he was Korean. I think it can rub people the wrong way in a lot of situations.

Nobody mentioned anything about dating someone you aren’t attracted to.

I can see that they’re hot, but I got a lot of bad racism from my Indian family and it’s given me subconscious prejudices

Ah I see.

Of course not, no ones expecting anyone to date everyone, unless you’re trying to enter the Guinness world record. I’m just saying that there are amazing people to experience in other races as well. Personally, I believe, every race has something great to offer that you wouldn’t get to experience in another. Now, are you forced to do this, of course not, but this is a discussion, so I thought I’d add my personal opinion in it lol

But the point of the post is about attraction. Sure, if you cut off an entire race for no reason, you’re limiting yourself. But that wasn’t the question. It’s about finding other races attractive. There’s a big difference. You’re not really limiting yourself if you’re not attracted to them in the first place… unless you were going to date them despite not being attracted to them.

And I don’t even agree that it’s limiting in a dating prospect. It’s limiting yourself mentally

Not sure why you’re addressing this to me, I was simply trying to help clarify what someone else was saying as it seemed to be getting misinterpreted. I stated my opinion on this a while ago.

And there’s millions of people from each race, how are you limiting yourself? :joy:
