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

I dont think it’s racist at all, unless the reason that your not attracted to them is based on a racist idea like (i don’t like aisans because i think they’re [insert negative characteristic here]). A lot of people for example aren’t attracted to black women because of the way that they are stereotyped (loud, ghetto, ect.) and that right there is another example of racism.

You can be attracted to whatever you want,even if you wanna date trees go ahead, most of the time you can’t control what you’re attracted to. I’ll be honest even though I don’t care about race I do find certain features attractive that are common among certain ethnicities and I’m aware of that. To me race is nothing more than what you look like, and looks don’t matter to me anyway :woman_shrugging:t4:

Hmmmmm… I don’t know.

I don’t think it’s racist not to think someone outside of your race isn’t attractive. I think stereotypes about different races of people can have an effect on people’s minds.

I mean I usually like people of my race but tbh I can go for any race. Also, no I don’t think it’s racist

Difference between preference and being rude:

“I’m more attracted white people than other races.”

“Black girls are too ghetto, I go for the whites.”

I do not think it’s racist to not have a sexual attraction for a race. It’s just your likes and dislikes. I personally do not have strong sexual attractions for white, christian people and I am white myself. I am way more interested in black, asian, hispanic, etc.

It’s okay to have a type but I don’t think it’s okay to not find someone attractive because of stereotypes associated with their race.

As long as it’s based on aesthetic and not racial stereotypes, it’s fine. You can’t control who you’re attracted to. I find someone in every race aesthetically attractive (and as I’m asexual, that’s the only kind of physical attraction for me, haha), personally. But I also understand if someone doesn’t find white girls like me attractive, or just aren’t into another race.

If it’s about physical appearance alone, it’s fine. If it’s because they think certain races of people are ghetto, or controlling, or submissive, or nerdy, or rude, or greedy - THATS when it’s not okay. That’s when you’re racist. But like, preferring black girls over Asian, or Asian guys over Jewish based on typical physical characteristics? Not in and of itself racist.

I mean, it’s great that everyone agrees, it’s nice when we can agree ^^

I just wish we could have gotten other perspectives :thinking: I really want a better reasoning for why having a preference can be discriminatory LOL

Hopefully someone that’d make more sense? idk…not Riley J Dennis!!! LOLOLOLOL

That’s how some black dudes at my school are like that. One dude was actually talking about how he would never date a black girl because they were “too loud.” Then looked at me :roll_eyes: I just rolled my eyes he’s too cocky anyways

It’s tiresome hearing that mess. Honestly I had another friend who knew I loveeeee black guys and she was like:”Girl forget it you mine as well get a guy who’s actually privileged.” And I just kinda looked at her like wtf? And she kinda just shrugged it off but I never stopped and thankfully the guy I’m talking to (who’s black) actually told me he was also attracted to black girls more. Which had me shook because every black guy I’ve talked to was like:”Aye she’d be cute but I don’t go for those black girls.”

Okay this one dude…who’s black…and so was his mom…I was talking to like in October…and he had the nerve to show his mom a picture of me and I was like okay? Then my friend who is also his friend that was trying to set us up was like:”Don’t freak out…but she saw you and was a little surprised you were so black.” And I just kinda looked at her like huh? Then she said:”Yeah she was just surprised you were darker.” And I literally flipped told him and he was like :woman_shrugging:t5: and we were only talking for a week and he was already asking me to move in with him in 2020 and I was like yeah no :rofl:

Okay, I see what you’re saying. :thinking: I agree with you, so…

Let’s say dude is like “I prefer Asian women.” And he’s asked “What about black women?”

And he says “Nah, not usually my style because…I don’t like what most black women do to their hair.”

Or “I don’t like dark skin as much.” Or “I don’t like the big noses black people tend to have.”

Is that racist, do you think? I personally would argue that it isn’t racist. Depending on HOW it is said, it could be kinda mean ^^’ sure, but not racist :thinking: What do you think?

It really isn’t. Just becuase I say I’m not attracted to a certain race does not mean I’m being racist. I didn’t call them ugly I just am not attracted.
That was an example so please don’t come after me. :worried:

The tea is steaming! :tea: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Ikr?! It was hurtful but :woman_shrugging:t5: I got outta that fast anyways no way was I even gonna try and be with him anyways.

I don’t blame you honestly. When they pull that it starts getting annoying. For me it’s honestly about the culture and experience but for some guys they just use it so nonchalantly especially with the race and whatnot and they say it all like it’s no big deal.

What the heck? I would’ve felt so bad for her honestly idk why some people just think that’s 100% okay to say and whatnot it’s so rude!

I can see how that can be found offensive, but I personally do not think that is racist. It is all about how it is portrayed, if they are rude about it and say some racist stuff then it is racist. But if they are respectful I personally don’t think it is.
