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’ve always been partial to East Asian men. Most of my crushes over the years have been of that ethnicity. It’s not about any preconceived notions tho or stereotypes. I just physically find many of their features attractive. But I guess the water can get muddy with certain things or the way people discuss stuff. I personally find some of the groups here fetishize black men specifically for white women or their white husbands.

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit Yes. And that weirdness between black and white has translated to lynchings but even in its current fetish form its harmful. Black men and white women can be friends without your hubby thinking you are making him a cuck. But that weirdness is pervasive.
