I mean, the least all of us can do is try?

I have preferences. So far I am unlikely to fuck, or go out with people beyond my preferences.
But if I immediately avoid people because of my own preferences-- that is my responsibility alone. That is me being an ass, and people do have a right to call me out on it.

Having preferences is one thing, using that preference to immediately block people is another thing, and waving that preference like you had a 12-inch dick is a whole different thing.

All that being said, there is no reason to put it on your profile.  Even with a strong preference people often date and bang outside of their 'preference' because the right person with the right other qualities come along.  Even if you are completely rigid there just isn't really a reason to list it, it doesn't save you more time as you can just ignore any messages by people you don't find attractive anyways.

my entire point is that having a preference based on race is racist. it doesn't matter how many people do it, if YOU as a person discriminate against people, because of their race, sexually or otherwise, its racist.

So, 91% of all people, regardless of race, is a racist.

OR, maybe it's something ingrained in us to prefer our own.

BTW, 89% of whites prefer their own, making us the most liberal race, therefore the least racist.

@Talisin:

If you honestly don't think your preferences are racist, then ask yourself; "Why do I not like someone sexually, just because of their race."
If you are not interested in someone just because of their race, Then by the English definition of discrimination (the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex), You are being racist.

You are also attracted to someone based on physical characteristics which can be gender, sex, skin colour, height, weight, age, hair colour, complexion (wrinkles, freckles etc), body hair, beard, eye colour and probably many more. And whichever side you happen to be on regarding these categories, it doesn't make you bigoted in any way.
Are you bigoted against blonds for being into dark-haired people, bigoted against tall people for being into smaller people or even better misogynist for being gay!?

By the way, dating is in and of itself discriminatory! Apart from a few pansexual polyamorous affirmative-action fetishising progressives, most people are picky when it comes to dating.

@Talisin:

That might make you a little uncomfortable, but if your personal prejudices are showing that clearly, its best to sit and think for a bit as to where your way of thinking comes from so you can work on it.

I don't have to do anything! I did not give in to the fundamentalist religious right back then and I'm certainly not giving in to the far-left today. Thank you very much!!

It should have said that 91% of all races only date/marry within their own race.    9% date/marry outside their race.  I posted about this in the other thread about whites not dating asians.

That being said, whites are always demonized for not doing something that other races also don't do.

Well, if you do the research, you'll find that on average, about 9% only ever date within their own race.   That's all races, not just the evil whites.

You're putting words in my mouth, I never said anything about white people you're just taking my point to an extreme to dehumanise me. my entire point is that having a preference based on race is racist. it doesn't matter how many people do it, if YOU as a person discriminate against people, because of their race, sexually or otherwise, its racist. Also, your point is bullshit, MOST AMERICANS date within their race. Maybe sit and think as to why you have your racial preferences rather than defend them.

EDIT:  corrected typo, that affected discussion that followed

That might make you a little uncomfortable, but if your personal prejudices are showing that clearly, its best to sit and think for a bit as to where your way of thinking comes from so you can work on it.

I find that when I pick who to try and hit on in an app I go for what I am sure (based on what I see at least) will do it for me.
When I talk to people in person, I find that many of them could make me want them even though I might not pay attention to them if I just saw them in a hook-up site.
Part of what does it for me is what I am accustomed to. My country isnt as diverse as other countries so the only guys I'm accustomed to seeing is caucasian or middle-eastern looking. I've fantasized about them for decades, you know?
I am sure though that if I get the chance to meet and talk to an asian descended person I will feel like getting down and dirty with them (provided they are not taller than me lol).

But honestly, you can find attractive guys in all races.

Attraction to certain races doesnt make you racist, if the opposite group is your negative target then it is problem, otherwise just enjoy what you please.

Ok, so being attracted to blacks doesn't make you racist, but not being attracted to whites makes you racist.

What is not okay, is people being shitty about it. For example, headlining different groups or races and warning them not to contact them. Or being rude to those you don't find attractive.

If you receive a message from someone not your type, ignore it. If you are approached by someone not your type, reject them kindly.

Exactly my thoughts, that kind of behavior is offensive and unnecessary and I think probably the cause of this whole discussion in the first place. Attraction to certain races doesnt make you racist, if the opposite group is your negative target then it is problem, otherwise just enjoy what you please.

I have seen many beautiful white guys and ugly white guys, the same goes to black and asian or many others.

I wouldn't say necessarily though that I prefer white guys over black or asian because there are many attractive black and asian guys than average or ugly white guys (there truly are so many!!!!!).

For those who say I am not attracted to black and asian and would never date them, it's as if you have seen every single one of them on the planet and thus close the doors completely. That is indeed racist. People should not waste their time on racists. I personally don't even want to make friends with them.

I used to think it was racist for you to not find a racial group attractive. I did.

But now, I can totally get it, and understand. It's okay really. Those who understand, understand. Those who don't, (as me myself was apart of that group) I hope like myself they eventually get the picture.

You cannot help what you are attracted to, and what you put above all else as far a dating and relationships go.

I am a flamboyant and feminine dark skin black man.

However, if I had my way, my ideal man would be a guy complete opposite of that. He's a bear chubby guy, who's more than likely white. As I do prefer white men, and most of the shit I jack off to, are white men.

So therefore it's not racist, as you are just attracted to what you're attracted to.

What is not okay, is people being shitty about it. For example, headlining different groups or races and warning them not to contact them. Or being rude to those you don't find attractive.

If you receive a message from someone not your type, ignore it. If you are approached by someone not your type, reject them kindly.

So that's how I feel.
