My friends and I are in the middle of a debate

Do you think it’s racist if someone says “I’m not usually attracted to that race”

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.
