So, I watched this video about Tinder Fails....

And there was this 19-year-old girl named Tristyn (spelling?) who said a bunch of great things about herself, and then said she's been single for two years. Immediately after that,she said, "p.s. I'm pretty racist and don't date black guys or people with accents." So I thought to myself, "Ah, you're racist, and you've been single for two years? You don't say!! Well, maybe some racist person will date you." But then I realized that even racist people have accents, since everyone has an accent. And since she won't date anyone with an accent, she'll have to date someone who is incapable of speaking (who is not black) or date no one at all.

I know you guys probably don't care, but sometimes people's stupidity is entertaining to me.

It is not racist if a person does not date someone of a different skin color or accent. Everybody has a "type", a preference, if you will.

Sure it is, to some extent, it's just an "acceptable" form of it.

Well, not EVERYONE. I get your point, though. I used to have such preferences until I was exposed to more diversity which changed my incorrect image of black girls. I admittedly wasn't attracted to them before, but it's because I quite honestly wasn't familiar enough with them at that point in my life. Now, I don't have racial preferences; I just like certain total packages better than others, if you will. But she explicitly called herself racist.

@bijouxbroussard: See, to a certain degree, I am not attracted to someone of my own skin tone. That does not make me racist or discriminatory, it simply means I don't have a sexual preference to that skin type.

@TheUnknown: It [b]does[/b] make you discriminatory. You discriminate against people based upon skin tone. You have the right, and your reasons are your own. But the fact remains.

@bijouxbroussard: No, it does [b]not[/b]. I really like my skin tone. I just don't want to date someone who has the exact same one as me. I have no problem having friends with that type of skin coloring, I think it looks good on them, I just don't want to date someone of that color.

@TheUnknown: It's still discriminating. Like I said, your reasons are your own. But strictly speaking, that's [i]still[/i] what you're doing.

@bijouxbroussard: So if someone was homosexual, does that make them sexist because they can't stand to look at the naked female body?

@TheUnknown: You [i]truly[/i] don't know the difference between skin color and sexual orientation ? That's apples and oranges.

@bijouxbroussard: I'm talking about [i]sexual preference[/i]. Some like females, some like males. Some are attracted to blacks, some to whites. Some love short hair, some only want to date people with long hair. Some are only attracted to skinny people, some to fat. It's [i]preferences[/i]. Not discrimination.

@TheUnknown: No, that's sexual orientation. It's not a choice. The person has to have the right "parts" for them to be satisfied. Those "parts" come in [b]all[/b] colors.

SimilarKing

@bijouxbroussard: It's still all preference. Hair has nothing to do with "satisfying" parts, but the way someone's hair is could be the deciding factor on whether or not you're attracted to them or not. Everybody is different. If someone's dick doesn't get hard because a certain person doesn't have a certain color of skin, that is not racism, you can't force your dick to get hard at them.

@TheUnknown: It's still discrimination. John Mayer said he had a "white supremacist dick", but at least he acknowledged it.

@bijouxbroussard: Discrimination is hatred or judgment towards someone "different" than yourself. I do not hate people for any reason such as their skin tone, hair color, sexual orientation, gender. But I do have my sexual preferences. That doesn't mean I hate someone. Or judge them.

bijouxbroussard · F

@TheUnknown: Discrimination doesn't necessarily involve hatred. I won't date Republicans or religious conservatives. Won't do it, I discriminate there. I have a few long time friends in those camps, so I don't [b]hate[/b] them. But since dating has the possibility of marriage, it's a different standard and we'd have little in common.

@bijouxbroussard: It's still judging them in some way, now, isn't it? I don't judge anyone.

bijouxbroussard · F

@TheUnknown: You judge them as unattractive based on their skin tone, right ?

SimilarKing

@bijouxbroussard: Not at all. I think people with my skin tone are very attractive. I just wouldn't date them. People with long hair or really short hair can be attractive, but I wouldn't date them. Emotional, physical, and sexual attraction are very different.

bijouxbroussard · F

@TheUnknown: That's still judging them, if judging is really the issue.

SimilarKing

@bijouxbroussard: Then I guess, everyone judges anyway, it doesn't matter.

@TheUnknown: That's all I'm saying. The reasons are your own.
