Is fetishizing another race, racist?

Racist

Not racist

You can only vote on one answer.

I asked about if not being attracted to them is racist and I think the majority was saying its not and its just a preference, which is fine

But what about fetishizing a certain race?
Like white girls fetishizing black guys
Or white guys fetishizing Asians
Or black girls fetishizing white guys

Now im not talking about fetishizing them in the way of calling them slurs and actually being offensive with it
But like "Wow I've always loved Asian girls and you're so beautiful"

Let me know your thoughts

If they’re viewing members of a certain race as nothing more than sexual objects, then yes, I would say that’s a form of racism. But having preferential attraction toward another race, that’s not racist. I wouldn’t consider that fetishizing, but I think people have different definitions on what fetishizing is.

I tend to find Latinas attractive. I’m even married to one. But for expressing my affinity for Latinas, I’ve been accused of fetishizing them and my wife. I disagree, but I’ll leave that up to you on what you consider fetishizing.
