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

I guess it is judging someone by their race but it doesn't feel like racism.
Racism has all those negative connotations about hatred, discrimination, fear etc.

I guess it's a little dehumanizing but that goes for any fetishizing (like big boobs, lesbians or gays) so i suppose if it's equally dehumanizing across the board then it's not discrimination and therefore not racist ?lol
