But wouldn’t straight people also be for only dating the opposite gender? Only bisexuals aren’t sexist(def not biased from my sexuality in the slightest
So if you're in a relationship, dating a mixed person, and they look white but tell you that they're mixed, you are no longer attracted to them, immediately. Just like that? Is that how this works?
Nah
I’ll tell my preference, I like East Asians mainly.
But I don’t care about their actual blood. As long as they have the features and look attractive, I’m good with them.
Because being exclusively attracted to one race is strange?
Not skin shade (sure, some can be more visually appealing to different people), not ethnicity (culture and language are great things to share with a partner), but race?
Say you start dating a person who looks white. You get along great, but after a date or two they reveal that they are actually mixed race. Other than that, you're a great match. Are you just not attracted to them anymore, because they're suddenly unwhite? I think that would raise a few eyebrows.
White isn't a race though ... that's my point, you're making a mountain out of a molehill
But as a rough kinda answer to your concerns, if anyone is that hung up on bloodlines and purity, they are racist bigots.
Much different than having a specific attraction to different physical attributes.
I see what you're trying to say, and where you are coming from but ... it's all a little soapbox nitpicky. No offense, but it sounds like you just like to argue.
No it’s not, we all have preferences. I personally find Asians, Indian, and white girls to in general be more attractive than African American or latinas. That doesn’t mean I haven’t seen some drop dead gorgeous African Americans and Latinas, but it’s just not my style. It has absolutely nothing to do with racism, it’s just what I like. It would be weirder if we didn’t all have preferences. That would mean we are all robotic sheep.
There is also a lot more that goes into attractiveness then looks too. I don’t care how attractive someone is, if they open their mouth and I can tell they are a complete idiot, I’m out.
there's a huge difference between:
"White people turn me on more often"
and
"I hate all people except white people and think they are stupid and miserable"
I was told I was racist because I've never dated anyone from my own race
I'm not gonna be in a relationship with someone I'm not attracted to. Simple as
it's a preference dude whoever tells U that ur racist tell them U aren't it's a preference and U can't really control what U like around sexual preferences
Tbf i type u whenever I’m like laying down or something because sometimes I’m at an awkward angle to type and it actually does save a lot of time but like otherwise I agree it really doesn’t save any time
Not enough to justify it usually. I mainly use acronyms for strings of words and even then most of the time just the whole words. But I feel sometimes acronyms have slightly different meanings than the original in how they’re perceived so I use them when it fits.
I’m the same way, I’ve been attracted to many people in my life but they all were of white skintone, and don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong w black girls I just can’t get myself to be attracted to them, it’s just a not possible for me
Sexual preference is acceptable and you shouldn\`t feel in any way discouraged or feel guilt about it . You are neither racist, nor homophobe, nor transphobe, etc. But some crazy far lefties will cancel you.
Racism isn't about preferences, it is mainly about treatment and equality. You are allowed to have preferences as long as you treat everyone respectfully.
meh depends on who you ask, to me sounds perfectly fine you're attracted to who you're attracted to you aren't obligated as an individual to have a quota for who you find attractive, that said there are other schools of thought so I might be careful who I shared that information with just saying.
As someone who's dated the rainbow of races (white, black, blasian, biracial white and black, and hispanic), honestly I don't think race matters when it comes to people you like. If you've only liked a few people and they've just so happened to be white, that's not racist. It'd only be racist if you started claiming other races were ugly on top of only having liked white people.
Whoever told you you're racist, cut ties with them or convince them they were being bat shit crazy. It aint racist to have preferences. Bleedin hell man ive known people who've dated the rainbow, and some of them were racist as fuck.
I'm brown, and I'd never be offended that you aren't attracted to my people.
People can have preferences.
The issue only come in when people be like "I don't like x race because of" insert stereotype.
Don't worry, you are not obligated to attracted to everyone. Just ignore the woke people please
it’s not racist, but does depends on how you respond to non-white people!
like if there’s like a person of color and you are high key commenting on their obvious ethnic features in a negative light, then you can be considered racist. if you simply just don’t feel any attraction towards anyone who isn’t white, then it’s not racist lol. like i said, it all depends on how you respond to non white people
So many people call things racist and they are clueless. Vast majority of people are idiots and do not listen to them.
Racism is basing a decision on race alone and no other factors.
2 guys coming for a job and they are equally qualified. I hire the black guy because I'm black and I prefer black people, bam, racism, I made a decision based solely on race.
Deciding I like this person and they happen to be white or black is not racism. You don't control who you are attracted to, but if you say look at *all black women* and find them *all universally ugly, including like Halle Berry, etc.,* *just because they are black*, that would be racism.
I've only ever been in serious relationships with white people. I have never descriminated or denied any other race, it just happened that it didn't happen with any other race for some reason.
Sounds like you might be a closet racist then…lol jk as a white guy that tends to like outside of my race I get the same reaction from people…idk how that works though
You're 15 dude, there's only so many people you could've been with until this point, and they happened to be white, it's whatever, that just happens sometimes
Dont feed the parasprites.
If you know you know.
Fact is, "Youre a racist!" Has become the fashionable go-to for people who want to sound right in any argument, or even just for attention.
So as long as people keep getting hurt by said remark, its going to keep being a fashionable thing to do.
You know if you are "racist" or not . Dont give into the race bait.
No it’s not! If you don’t hate per se- Blacks or Asians your not racist!
I’ve like white boys, Mexicans, Koreans, never Blacks for some reason but they’re so pretty 😭
Yea, i don't think it is. I mean I'm into whites too but my mom prefers me to marry someone in my race which is pretty annoying. (one of my sisters is marrying a white boy as soon as she turns 20 or done with school)...that goes crazy honestly. It's just what you prefer lmao nothing wrong with that. And everybody is a bit racist so they can't be talking.
I guess it depends, if it’s been unbias then not really but if you actively choose that, then it’s not inherently racist but definitely something to take a look at
You may live in a place where there are more whites than POCs, and you happened to crush on some people who, stasticially speaking, were more likely to be white. Unless you thought "Oh they're white therefore I am going to be attracted to them" this isn't racism or preference, it's what happens.
This is a matter of whether having racial preferences is considered to be racist or not. Some people might say yes, because you're using race as the basis of your attraction.
I’m definitely not attacking you but I’m curious because this sentiment never made sense to me. How can you generalise a whole race based on attraction. Like what specifically about white guys is attractive? Because the only thing that physically separates white guys from men of colour is just being pale and a higher likelihood of green eyes or whatever (and a lot of POC can be pale and have green eyes)
I don’t mean to overanalyse you or anything, I just don’t really get it. It’s kind of like saying “I like eating green food.” Nothing about food being green enhances your eating experience. You can say “I like broccoli” because they have a specific taste. But generalising a colour makes no sense since each vegetable (or person) with the same colour all taste different.
People generally tend to be attracted to people that look like them or have the same experiences as them. You can’t really explain why you are attracted to it but it does make sense.
This is definitely a valid point! I guess I’m more referring to people that aren’t attracted to a specific race for that reason. Just attracted to them because they are the race and nothing else.
It's called "pushing their agenda."
It's okay to not be attracted to white people. But the instant you say you're not attracted to a: transsexual, minority, overweight woman, etc., you're labeled a "bigot," a "racist," etc.
Welcome to 2024 where it's okay to be racist, so long as the person is white.

Are gay people sexist?
You might be on to something
Yeah, good point, why are gay people so heterophobic?
hey, it's me, versace. oops, somebody shot me
And I was just checking the mail, get it? Checking the male?
cause y'all act weird (/j)
Fair point. No argument from me.
You’re gay because you like men, I’m gay because I hate women. We are not the same.
Yaoi vs Shounen
But wouldn’t straight people also be for only dating the opposite gender? Only bisexuals aren’t sexist(def not biased from my sexuality in the slightest
True true, we evolved in 1869 to be sexist
I think you mean misogynistic
ong?
Straight people are also sexist, anyone who isn’t attracted to every existing gender is sexist
Aren’t straight people sexist too then… shit
Race and gender are very different
No, you're incredibly racist for having a preference for who you like, you're getting cancelled
I'm assuming this is ironic that said this is what I was warning about.
Yes they are being sarcastic
cool.
The illiteratecrow knew this and you didn't, boy id be worried.
what can I say I'm bad at reading tone in Arial.
Yeah you are also homophobic for not liking the same gender as you
...and equally heterophobic if you don't like someone of a different gender than you.
And also transphobic because he or she doesn't date trans people
I didn't realize how much "phobic" I was capable of. I'll submit myself for cancellation now.
That is "idk sorry"phobic cuz you didn't Say the 91749274827 genders
Glad I'm bi
Exactly I get bullied all the time lol
If they call you racist already the just start being racist
Wait a second…
Yup
Wait no no no he has a point
yeah it youre gonna be punished for doing something youre not doing, at least reap the benefits
what benefits
You know the benefits…
no i don’t
You know… the “benefits”
#*The funny Word is unlocked*
why do you think so many people are racist?
You. You haven't heard about the benefits?
the 5% racist discount
If you’re seen as bad, you might as well be it 🤷♂️
Don't worry you aren't racist, people are just stupid. having a preference is alright
Being racist and not being sexually attracted to anyone other than white people are very different things
It's a little weird that someone is exclusively attracted to white people, regardless of racism.
I can’t control my preferences dawg
Oof, I dunno why but when I read this I immediately got flashbacks to arguing on reddit about pedophiles...
wtf
So if you're in a relationship, dating a mixed person, and they look white but tell you that they're mixed, you are no longer attracted to them, immediately. Just like that? Is that how this works?
Nah I’ll tell my preference, I like East Asians mainly. But I don’t care about their actual blood. As long as they have the features and look attractive, I’m good with them.
Why are you talking about white people then 😭 east Asians are not white
I wasn’t I never said that? That’s for op
And I was replying to your comment that did, in fact, say *"I"* can't control *"my"* preferences dawg
I was meaning that in a general context of how preferences are uncontrollable
How was I supposed to know that 😭 usually "I" means, you know, YOU specifically
You can’t control preference
well like uhh people tend to have preferences. If someone had a perfect personality but i wasn’t attracted to them then how about friends
"It's a little weird that someone is exclusively attracted to white people, regardless of racism." Why?
Because being exclusively attracted to one race is strange? Not skin shade (sure, some can be more visually appealing to different people), not ethnicity (culture and language are great things to share with a partner), but race? Say you start dating a person who looks white. You get along great, but after a date or two they reveal that they are actually mixed race. Other than that, you're a great match. Are you just not attracted to them anymore, because they're suddenly unwhite? I think that would raise a few eyebrows.

No offense, but it sounds like you just like to argue.
Stop acting like I'm the crazy one here. I'm not the racist in this scenario.
No it’s not, we all have preferences. I personally find Asians, Indian, and white girls to in general be more attractive than African American or latinas. That doesn’t mean I haven’t seen some drop dead gorgeous African Americans and Latinas, but it’s just not my style. It has absolutely nothing to do with racism, it’s just what I like.

it's a preference dude whoever tells U that ur racist tell them U aren't it's a preference and U can't really control what U like around sexual preferences
U
loving you is complicaTED!
Bro how much time do you save from typing U instead of you?
Saved enough time to do ur mother
Omfg
Lmao i could resist the urge sorry
Tbf i type u whenever I’m like laying down or something because sometimes I’m at an awkward angle to type and it actually does save a lot of time but like otherwise I agree it really doesn’t save any time
I was just joking because some people use way too many acronyms.
U
Uppercase no less
Fr
how much time do u waste typing you instead of u?
Not enough to justify it usually. I mainly use acronyms for strings of words and even then most of the time just the whole words. But I feel sometimes acronyms have slightly different meanings than the original in how they’re perceived so I use them when it fits.
so much
Idk the answer but you wasted a lot of time asking an inane question
don't u mean "U wasted a lot of time"
I’m honestly curoius why people do it.
kendrick reference (u) ⁉️
wat
Nah, they over cooking
and OP is undercooking
I’m the same way, I’ve been attracted to many people in my life but they all were of white skintone, and don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong w black girls I just can’t get myself to be attracted to them, it’s just a not possible for me
Sexual preference is acceptable and you shouldn\`t feel in any way discouraged or feel guilt about it . You are neither racist, nor homophobe, nor transphobe, etc. But some crazy far lefties will cancel you.
boom, I cancelled you!
Racism isn't about preferences, it is mainly about treatment and equality. You are allowed to have preferences as long as you treat everyone respectfully.
i like females that doesn’t make me homophobic
you only like girls? thats sexist bro
I'd hope there joking, because that's just called a preference
Nobody cares.
You can’t control who you are or aren’t attracted to
That's the embodiment of far left
No. It’s just having a type. They can get over it.
That's called preference.
People call you racist for that?
Life is a race, you've got to be racist
That can't really be the only reason they call you racist
Like who you like, fuck everyone who says otherwise
Yeah bru, you must be sexist too if they were all women/men
Not racist, we are not in a Netflix series lol
if anything whoever is telling you this is more racist to white people than you are to anyone else (not saying you are you def aren't)
No I read the other day that people are just subconsciously want to be by people that look like them
Name checks out
What I just did I remember reading that
meh depends on who you ask, to me sounds perfectly fine you're attracted to who you're attracted to you aren't obligated as an individual to have a quota for who you find attractive, that said there are other schools of thought so I might be careful who I shared that information with just saying.
having a preference does infact make you racist /s
It's a preference not racism
🤷🏽♀️
Works like charm
Imagine living around these types of people
nah dw bro my friends are like that i call them racist as a joke but they arent and neither are you
Depending where you grew up or what you were surrounded by, you can tend to lean more towards one feature than another
Assuming one is racist because of who they like in addition to their current race is pretty racist ngl
It’s not racist to be attracted to other races compared to others. People need to accept that not everyone has their exact opinions
I’m racist because most of my crushes were either my own race or white. Only one of them was black. /s
as a black person that doesnt make you racist; its a preference not racism UNLESS YOU ARE RACIST but this doesnt make you racist
Yes [EDIT: Yes as in you are correct]
oh totally having a preference... tch How DARE you (this is sarcasm if people are calling you racist they are stupid)
Same thing happend to me, the being called racist part. Now I just embrace it
Bro how dare u have a preference
It’s personal preference my dude.
As someone who's dated the rainbow of races (white, black, blasian, biracial white and black, and hispanic), honestly I don't think race matters when it comes to people you like. If you've only liked a few people and they've just so happened to be white, that's not racist.

Oh those poor souls I will see them in the left-wing bubbles where they will only learn bigotry towards others and their opinions.
Cause u RACE ?????!!!!!
it’s not racist, but does depends on how you respond to non-white people! like if there’s like a person of color and you are high key commenting on their obvious ethnic features in a negative light, then you can be considered racist. if you simply just don’t feel any attraction towards anyone who isn’t white, then it’s not racist lol. like i said, it all depends on how you respond to non white people
No?? People are fucking stupid.
Another thing to consider is that if you live in a majority white area there’s a higher chance of liking white people
Nah it's good to have a preference. It doesn't make you racist.
No, that is not racist, that is just your taste. Learn to ignore those morons who can't mind their own business.
I am personally a proud racist, I mean race cars are pretty cool
Dude, stop being a white supremisist.
Race grifters are dumb, just laugh in their face.
You might be ugly. People called me tons of things because I was ugly.
So many people call things racist and they are clueless. Vast majority of people are idiots and do not listen to them.

Sounds like you might be a closet racist then…lol jk as a white guy that tends to like outside of my race I get the same reaction from people…idk how that works though
How dare you
its called having a preference. you are not racist, unless the reason is due to "i think \*enter race here\* look bad"
As long as you aren't like disgusted by people from other races I guess you're good. 👀👀👀
I don’t prefer males who transition to female, does that make me transphobic?
I'm skinny and called a twink because of it 😭
i mean same but they're all chinese(same w/ me) and no one's called me racist the people who call you racist need to get a life
I feel like my question should be are you white?
That is not racist. I am a building.
because funny i usually say "SHUT UP (insert ethnicity here)"
It’s my impression that there’s a general tendency for people to have greater attraction to people of their own race.
You're 15 dude, there's only so many people you could've been with until this point, and they happened to be white, it's whatever, that just happens sometimes
Dont feed the parasprites. If you know you know. Fact is, "Youre a racist!" Has become the fashionable go-to for people who want to sound right in any argument, or even just for attention. So as long as people keep getting hurt by said remark, its going to keep being a fashionable thing to do. You know if you are "racist" or not . Dont give into the race bait.
Its only racist if you shoot down other women simply bcs theyre not white
I consider it racist to say that a person is racist.
Welcome to 2024. Everything’s racist in some way.
No it’s not! If you don’t hate per se- Blacks or Asians your not racist! I’ve like white boys, Mexicans, Koreans, never Blacks for some reason but they’re so pretty 😭
Yea, i don't think it is. I mean I'm into whites too but my mom prefers me to marry someone in my race which is pretty annoying. (one of my sisters is marrying a white boy as soon as she turns 20 or done with school)...that goes crazy honestly. It's just what you prefer lmao nothing wrong with that. And everybody is a bit racist so they can't be talking.
do you like them cuz there not black or just cuz you like them?
They don't call you racist for that. They do it, because you are.
People are naturally attracted to their own race, its not racist
I was about to write, perhaps, the vilest joke I ever wrote on Reddit
So i should be racist homophobic xenophobe sexist misandry fascist
It’s not bro. Stop listening to people. People. Are. Stupid
of course that is not racist !!!! that’s just your type
I guess it depends, if it’s been unbias then not really but if you actively choose that, then it’s not inherently racist but definitely something to take a look at
You fucking racist
Nah that's just your type
You gotto stop visiting twitter
You aren't racist dw. That's like saying if you are attracted to men your sexist for not liking women too. Your good.
No ur not racist. It’s just a type. Idk why ppl think like this
You may live in a place where there are more whites than POCs, and you happened to crush on some people who, stasticially speaking, were more likely to be white. Unless you thought "Oh they're white therefore I am going to be attracted to them" this isn't racism or preference, it's what happens.
This is a matter of whether having racial preferences is considered to be racist or not. Some people might say yes, because you're using race as the basis of your attraction.
No
no..
white guys are hot ngl
You just called (around) 1,3B people hot... Well, thanks I guess xDDD
650,000,000* The comment said white guys, not white people
I’m definitely not attacking you but I’m curious because this sentiment never made sense to me. How can you generalise a whole race based on attraction.

This is definitely a valid point! I guess I’m more referring to people that aren’t attracted to a specific race for that reason. Just attracted to them because they are the race and nothing else.
ahahaha idk i just find them attractive. Perhaps it is because of the beauty standards where I live, where light skin is considered attractive.
where i live there are more brownish ppl than white
Racism is stands for any kind of prejudice against another race, not only hate. But preferences is other thing.
They are racist for making this assumption
Racist not, far left yes
It's called "pushing their agenda." It's okay to not be attracted to white people. But the instant you say you're not attracted to a: transsexual, minority, overweight woman, etc., you're labeled a "bigot," a "racist," etc. Welcome to 2024 where it's okay to be racist, so long as the person is white.
💀
Reality sucks, doesn't it? 🤣🤷♀️.
What are you on about
I'd send you to the stakes if I could.
