No, i don't think its racism :/
Racism is hating an entire race or thinking one race is superior to another or believing that race plays into whatever "superior" or "inferior" traits someone has. What you're talking about is prefference and its perfectly fine for people to be that way. Me for example, i will date anyone regardless of race but i will more than likely marry another white person (mostly someone else of germanic stock) simply because i want my children to look like me or my parents. There's nothing racist about that. Also people who say that "Were all the human race" and that there is no races are delluding themselves. There are clear biological differences between groups of people just as there is with different breeds of cats & dogs. For you to ignore all of this and ignore those differences....well thats just PC bs. Were all apart of the same species that does not mean we are all homogeneous.
I would have to disagree. Alot of what people deem as a preference comes from what is considered to be more "preferential" or more "superior" than what the person would find acceptable.When it comes to race, alot of it has to do with just that. There are attractive people of every race. But I have seen people turned down because of their race, for an alternative that was basically the same color..ie black v/s some Hispanics. When a person says, I am not attracted to black for example, what is it they are referring to considering blacks come in all shades including that of middle eastern and Hispanics. When a person says" im not into Asians", the same thing applies. What is it about their human qualities that make them unacceptable to the person applying the judgement? Your reference to biological differences, what would those be? I understand your point, but I also think we have the ability to change our preferences when we are willing to broaden our minds and look at what we have in common . The same applies to age, culture, weight etc. Again, I have traveled alot of places, and the preference issue is more prevalent in the US.You rarely see dating sites abroad where people go as to say for example " Not into anyone over 25, no blks no Asians, and fats". Only here does it seem more acceptable to single out people and define what is considered to be attractive and acceptable.
