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

You wouldn't date a different sub-species? Speciest!!!

There's nothing 'wrong' with not being sexually appealing to someone.

See? The entitlement culture. Whilst concept of physical attractiveness is largely shaped by the society and everyone would have a different taste, it's obvious that there are general standards of beauty.

what are you on about? attraction is determined by society. that means if you prejudge that you dont like an entire race without meeting every member of that race you are racist because the only reason you would exclude an entire race form your beauty standards is due to racist ideas taught to you by society.

it's not about entitlement.

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?

It's about entitlement. It's the feeling of entitlement that gives anyone the idea that everyone should be attracted to everything or there's something wrong with that person.

To attempt to shame someone into dating and sleeping with people is even worse.

And this is coming from someone who's on the receiving end of this so-called 'racism'.

Wtf, its about looking at this racist system that we're in and trying to sort it out. the issues that have been left over from colonialism and slavery that still affect BMEs communities with their self image and with the way white people look at BMEs.

it's about looking at why we, without even knowing the person's life, dont like each other if we're supposedly in an equal society

Once again the entitlement shows.

You believe that people need to have justifiable reasons to not date or have sex with anyone.

no. i believe the reason people choose not to date or mix with other races is due to external perceptions put upon them by society. there is something palpably wrong when a person say i will not, no matter what, date [insert race]. it's the same as saying i will never hire [insert race].

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.

So a minimum of 0.5 inches above average?

Aight then...

Sorry, I'm just not into Asians.

attraction is determined by society.

It is making an arbitrary distinction based on race. So, yes.

So assuming you you have dark hair and brown eyes. What if you marry a blonde woman and your kid turns out blonde and blue eyed and looks nothing like you?

The 'I want my kids to look like me' reasoning always seems like a racist excuse to me tbh, but no, not being attracted to a race of women doesn't mean you are racist. Some people have 'types' so for example if your type is pale ginger with freckles then you are not going to find black females sexually attractive. You cannot help what physical features you are attracted to, just like you can't help what food you like.

it's Fact lad

You have just proven my point.

You think there needs to be 'justifiable' reasons not to date someone, and people who have reason you disagree with are 'wrong' and need to be fixed.

No, it's not the same thing.

Hiring someone to work for you doesn't require sexual or romantic attraction, but only a sufficient level of skills and knowledge. It's objective, not subjective.

Hiring someone is a temporary situation, and if a mistake, can be rectified easily the next month. Dating someone is much more high stake and can potentially be a lifetime issue.

Hiring someone concerns other people's human rights and basic needs, ie it concerns whether that person can earn enough money to make a living. Dating someone is not the same thing.

It's stupid to compare the two. What you are actually is forcing someone to have sex with another person s/he is not attracted to. That's called rape.

And the entitlement I'm talking about is the idea that people need to be able to explain themselves, without shame, why they are not sleeping with any one person. Your argument doesn't stand - all factors in attraction are shaped by the society, whether you prefer bigger eyes, or blond hair, or a fit body, or an Oxbridge graduate, or an ibanker, or a prince, or the colour of someone's skin. If the last factor needs to be fixed, surely by your logic all other factors also need to be fixed. We'd need to achieve Sameness and get rid of all personal choices, preferences, tastes, and judgements.
