Do you think it’s racist to say you’re not attracted to an ethnicity?

now we're getting somewhere. attraction is def not just based on looks but behavior and stuff and culture, which is true. If you dont like the act, that can really put you off someone, and you're right about that then. I can see what you mean. I find black women attractive but avoid certain types if ygm, even white girls who act like a certain way. but if you're just swearing that they're all ugly, control that mate. they are not just their skin colour, there's facial features that they share with other races who you'd find attractive. some things are selective blindness, and that's racist if you cant even admit she's got a pretty face or a nice smile or something.

but how can i control it? cos its just a preference whether its racist or not i dont find them good looking at all/how they act. it doesn't mean im going to fight them
i dont find their features attractive e.g noses and hair

i only like whites
Not racist, more of a preference. I have this kind of conversation always at school, people just can't control who they are attracted to.
Yes, blonde whites is the most common answer I get. I personally am not attracted to them, that does not mean I hate blonde people as I still interact with them.
Just proves the truth of the statement "till death do we part" True love isn't true, and love isn't forever.

lemme make it clear im not attracted to anyone who is BLACK. you dont need to give me a gene lecture okay i simply dont find them good looking. i dont find dark skin attractive.

All of the foregoing examples are of black people, inasmuch as 'black' represents a continuum. Conversely, the term 'black' is not conventionally applied in relation to South Asians of similar melanic expression to classical Africans.

Thus: what approximate degree of melanin concentration or pigmentation specifically do you find unappealing?

no one is saying anything about hate, why do people do this? if a white person doesnt want a black person, it could very well be casual indifference, not even hatred. racism could very well just be indifference about another race or culture, but it's not as calm as that surely if you pull the answer out of them why this indifference exists. "why don't you have an interest?" it will probably take an expert to drill the answer and it might be something nasty or harmless underneath this indifference. but racism does not mean hatred. and "it's just a preference" is a basically meme now, what do you get out of repeating the easy template answer...

for you to find black/asian girls attractive yet you're not attracted to them, it seems as if you'd get with a white girl who you dont even find attractive lol


lemme rephrase. i seen like 2 cute asian and black girls i'd get with. however, the rest i dont feel attracted too. however with white girls if the aren't hot to anyone else, i find them mostly hot if that makes sense

you dint have to rephrase mate that's exactly what i said, you'd get with a white girl even if she's not fit or if she's straight up butters. you just really want a white girl. idk why you struggle with your features so much, its certainly something west africans and west indians and african americans dont do as much as other africans and black hispanics. :s-smilie: get it together lil bro.

Black people don't all share a single phenotype with respect to noses or hair, much less a particular mode of behaviour. Dark-skinned people do, however, all exhibit the property of dark skin.

Perhaps if you were capable of expressing yourself more coherently—i.e. 'I am not attracted to dark skin' or 'I am not attracted to urban black culture'—rather than conflating skin-colour with culture or ethnicity and then proceeding to extrapolate wildly from that given, limited subset of incidentally dark-skinned people to 'all black people' by association, you wouldn't find yourself in such an absurdly self-defeating predicament on the internet.

idk how my fudging body works my guy, like for some reason i dont find asians/black attractive. idrc if shes fit or not, just is shes cute or na. i wouldnt go for any white person i see..

like i've never seen any super hot non-white girl, maybe its because of the area i live in lol

im sure some asian and black guys feel this way, just search white girls and loads will come up.

hold on there, racism is not racial hatred. Don't over-exaggerate and sensationalise. Racism is simply the mentality that one race is superior to another. It can even mean thinking a race is superior to your own. Hatred connotes violence, yet racism can be very peaceful, "implicit," and harmless, it can simply be a vague disinterest in someone else, such as not finding them attractive, not wanting to be their friend, not wanting to sit next to them, talk to them, without hating them. It can really just be indifference. People really do need to accept what racism is and not shy away from it, or try to talk yourself out of it or spin into something other than what it is. Just own it, you don't want someone from x, y, z group because you don't like em or respect em and you think they're not good enough for ya, meaning you're racist or separatist. End of. It's totally ok, just say it. As long as you don't spit on em.


Racism is racial hatred- far from harmless and usually based on lies or conspiracy theories.
You are conflating racism with racialism, extreme tribalism and separatism- leaving yourself open to suggestions that you nod along to the peta speciesism agenda embraced by some sections of the vegan based on animal rights movement.
Tribalism, xenophobia and having zero interest in hearing other viewpoints- those are entirely different issue and often do not involve race.
Hatred does not need to involve violence; take a look at the toxic race hate nonsense writings of Arnold Leese, speeches of John Tyndall and all the vile babble of Richard Spencer.

A lot of religious hardliners demonstrate all the traits you describe in association with indifference, vague disinterest and separatism.
But its not based on race at all, its all based on a form of religious tribalism.
Their religious congregations are made up of all different ethnicities and they welcome converts from all races.
But they avoid discussions, interactions and close day to day contact with active members of other religions, militant atheists or ex members of their religion.
Because they know those people will always disagree with them and there is nothing that they can do to change this.
They are not loud, vocal or criminal- just closed minded.

By the definition of racism, yes not being attracted to a specific race is inherently racist. However, it is down to your moral compass to decide whether that is an acceptable form of racism.

I'm attracted to all sorts of women except asian and i'll tell you why. I keep an open mind if she's just ****ing gorgeous like if the Asian girl is like dark tan with that long soft black hair and a nice face like good teeth and a nice nose and not hairy and stuff and a nice body then ok, like Nicole Scherzinger :perv: but otherwise I can't be attracted to em because of culture differences, so i dont even bother really lol, and east asian girls I just rarely find attractive physically and they kinda weird me out :s-smilie: no grown woman should walk around the way some of them do haha.

But even though I am not attracted to them, I won't be sat here saying that none of em are attractive, cos that's a lie. There are people who cant even admit that someone is attractive, that's just racist lol.

i mean you're doing the same thing by assuming that all south asians are "culturaly" some-how different to you and that because of this assumption you don't find them attractive. you're literally just as bad.
