Is it racist if you won't date some races?

Let's just hope and pray this person isn't doing biology at uni

Aren't you a lesbian if I recalled (no discriminatory intents intended)?

I'm quite sure most of us women would think that an ideal penis would be 6-7.5 inches in length, varying of course with the size of the man.

Please provide me with material proposing the contrary. i am willing to concede that biological factors may make room for preferences but complete pre-determined un-attraction to all members of a certain race is completely facile and idiotic

you're working on the presumption that what people find attractive is of their own free will. im telling you it's not (entirely) of their free will and ATTRACTION is (largely) manipulated by society.

dating/marrying outside your race is a highly important issue in society. it doesnt matter if we're equal in the law if we're not equal in society, and if a significant number of people are not willing at all to go out or marry black women, then a lot of black women will not rise up the mobility ladder, gain better social status have good job opportunities etc etc

if people stick to their races all the time then you end up with de facto segregation anyway.

there is nothing wrong with preferences, but there is something wrong with exclusionary tastes. Plus you dont have to explain **** mate.

this is for the people who say " i would NEVER date a Chinese/black/jew/ whatever". they dont have to feel guilty i cant control their feelings. however if they think like that they are racist

Please provide me with material proposing the contrary. i am willing to concede that biological factors may make room for preferences but complete pre-determined un-attraction to all members of a certain race is completely facile and idiotic

if you say "blacks are my least favourite, but i could date them" it's a preference

if you say "i could never date a black guy/girl" =racism

preference means that its possible

TSR is so racist

Homosexuality is innate. you are biologically not attracted women. attraction in terms of race is determined by society. the reason youre not into black girls is because society tells you they're ugly (indirectly and at times directly)

In identical twins, DNA is shared and overlaps perfectly. But the existence of twin pairs in which one is homosexual and the other is not offers strong evidence that something other than DNA alone influences sexual orientation.

You can't change what you're attracted to, if you have a preference for a certain race(s) then I don't see the issue

Although I agree with the principle of what you are saying, I'd just like to correct on a technicality in that (homo)sexuality seems to not be completely innate at a minimum, if at all, therefore the nurture element makes it similar any racial preference as opposed to the contrasting sense you have used.

I'm glad I'm (at the higher end) of those sizes.

If anything, heterosexuality could be the result of nurture, since that is what everyone is 'raised' to be and see as normal, just like people grow up with the ideal beauty being very white-centric.

I appreciate beauty of all races and I don't think any lesser of them outside of the dating field but I'm not attracted to some races of women. I want my kids to look similar to me and it feels like an instinctive thing, I can't help it. If I had kids with someone who had more dominant genes than me, It would feel like the end of my genes

This is racist by definition I think, but is it okay to do so in the dating field?

I know you don't seriously think that. There has been no homosexual majority in the history of our species.

It's not something I have unshakeable belief in, I'm just going by his logic and saying that it would make more sense than his scenario, if we are going by his logic. I also did not say that heterosexuality is a result of nurture and everyone would be homosexual otherwise. I think you missed my point.

......maybe.

Anyway, the research suggests homosexuality isn't quite innate. Not that it makes it any less valid. It's all love.

Although, let's say you put a baby in a room. You provide it food, drink, enough for it to survive etc. And let's say it gets no outside stimulation. It has no contact with other human beings. It just lives its life in this room. No access to media/tv etc. So basically nurture doesn't apply.

Would this now teenager be racist? If he was presented a picture of a nude black woman/man, would he find them attractive?

You clearly haven't done proper research.



It depends on what his preferences were. Maybe they would be attracted, maybe they wouldn't.

I thought a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences is what determines a sexual orientation. Exactly the same for heterosexuality.

.

If heterosexuality and homosexuality 'happen' the same way, how come the vast majority of people end up heterosexual? Wouldn't the population be 50/50 then? Surely the genetic/hormonal/biological aspect is a lot more influential than 'environmental influences'. Sexual orientation is clearly innate.
