I’ve actually read that favoring particular physical traits over others is prejudiced. If you think about it, there are lots of attractive people in the world and not all white people possess physical attraction. 😛 I tend to date white people as well but I think it has more to do with familiarity than anything else. I used to think that I might be racist too but I realize now that I am open to dating people with various kinds of traits and different cultural backgrounds. I would like to point out that physical attributes aren’t everything. (You may be cheating yourself.) Also your friends may just be jealous or put off by your choices and not interested in your welfare.😐 ...I think the answer lies in the reason/s behind your preference/s. I would recommend you look there.
