yes. everyone prefers to their own race.. unless the other person is White.. being White is always beneficial anywhere you go.. unfortunately its a hypocritical soiciety. Take UAE for example.. the local women cant find any groom as many Locals are marrying white women..

Do you live in the UAE?  I hear emiratis live a pretty pampered lifestyle.

If you are not attracted to another race, that does not make you racist.  In fact the amount of interracial marriages is extremely low according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
According to this table no one really likes marrying outside of their race that much.

@nordicblue:

Racist people are not attracted to other races, hence the name.  That would be oxymoronic.

Being a racist and being attracted to another person is two highly different things. You can be attracted to someone and still think that since they are a different race you are better than them.

That is so paradoxical.  I find people that I don't like, unattractive and people that I like, attractive.  It is that very reason that makes them unattractive or attractive.  Why would you be attracted to someone you don't like?  You don't have to like my preferences but I prefer blue-eyed dark haired peachy compected guys with facial features dominant from northern Europe.  Who wouldn't want Thor?  As I said, likeness attracts likeness.

Not at all. If seems you are confused. Being a racist doesn't mean you don't like the other person. It doesn't mean you can't find them attractive. It just means you think another race is  inferior to another race.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propinquity

In social psychology, propinquity (from Latin propinquitas, "nearness") is one of the main factors leading to interpersonal attraction. It refers to the physical or psychological proximity between people. Propinquity can mean physical proximity, a kinship between people, or a similarity in nature between things ("like-attracts-like"). Two people living on the same floor of a building, for example, have a higher propinquity than those living on different floors, just as two people with similar political beliefs possess a higher propinquity than those whose beliefs strongly differ. Propinquity is also one of the factors, set out by Jeremy Bentham, used to measure the amount of (utilitarian) pleasure in a method known as felicific calculus.

I don't see his puking emoticon as being racist.  I see it as him saying he shouldn't have to be attracted to people he is not.  Why should everyone be artificially attracted to people they aren't, so that others don't get upset?!

As I said in another thread about "no fats or fems", if I had to deal with Nathan Lane's character in THE BIRDCAGE full time, one of us would be dead in less than a week.

What you and others suggest is that since I'm not a phone person, I have to become a cold call phone salesperson and love my job to show I'm not a phone-ist.

I'm sorry, but it's completely natural to "stick to your own".

Studies have shown that it's easier for us to recognize people of our own race easier than of other races.   That's not racism, that's biology.

Studies have shown that people have a hard time discerning between people of a race they do not belong to. Which is a theme used in charming racist jokes such as, "All asians look the same."

These studies were mostly framed around the fact that eye witness accounts of crimes, identifying black males as the culprits, could not be trusted because the average white American could not tell two black people apart.

This is not a biological fact. Someones inability to discern between a Chinese person and a Japanese person, or a Jamaican and a Somalian is not something that is an inherent biological fact about human beings. It is a sad reality of the racist world we live in.

I don't think any of this really requires any debate. Nordicblue's puking emoticon pretty much says everything anyone would ever need to know about people who have any doubts about the nature of this thread.

That is so gallingly untrue. Slave owners often fetishized their slaves. Many slave owners raped, and abused, their slaves. Your obliviousness to the history of racism, and your second post with more statistics that attempt to prove your point only, truly, prove a dark fact about yourself.

Furthermore, the U.S Census has admitted it is inherently flawed. What box does the child of a mixed race, (IE: White parent, and black parent,) select? Also, on that same census Egyptian/Middle Eastern people are actually put into the white category even though they most definitely would not identify or be treated as white by the average American.

You're using statistics to try and justifying something about yourself that is fundamentally not okay - and the fact that as a gay person you don't see how evil, and fucked up that is, to me… is completing breathtaking.

Just like you can be attracted to people from another race and still be a racist.
