My friends and I are in the middle of a debate Do you think it’s racist if someone says “I’m...

No, it’s a preference just like someone who may not be attracted to someone who’s skinny, big, or has blonde hair.

Racism :
a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.

Yeah, but I think we need to unpack what racist means. This kind of racism is unintentional and more just a reflection of society.

Black women and Asian men are consistently rated as least desirable on dating sites. In the meantime, a white partner is almost always considered desirable regardless of who is asking.

This is obviously racist - no one race is objectively unattractive. If you were raised only among one race you'd find tons of people hot as hell.

And an individual is just a reflection society. So you may not -feel- like you've chosen who you're attracted to, but you did. Your politics and beliefs are going to define what you think is sexy.

And your politics and beliefs can change over time if you want them to.

Attraction is subjective, not discriminatory in my opinion. Just because someone isn't attracted to someone or a group of people doesn't mean they hold a prejudice against them, in my view.

No. If I said I'm not uusally attracted to Mexican chicks, there's nothing racist about that. Now if I said I think Mexican chicks are all ugly, that might be racist.

That ain't true, by the way, Mexicanas are hotttttt
