Is it racist if I prefer to stick with my own race?

I mean I don’t have a problem with interracial relationships/marriages and I support them, but I prefer my own race. I’m a white woman that prefers to date white men. I feel more comfortable. Plus I want my future kids to look like me.
Just being honest.

If you have a attraction preferences for certain looks (example: dark haired, blonde, blue eyes, brown eyes, fair, tan), that’s more on personal tastes.

But the fact that you mention about how you prefer your kids to look like you, that sounds racist.

Ask yourself, what is wrong if your kids look like them (others you don’t prefer) ? Would you consider your future kids not acceptable looking if they are not white like you?

@CookieCrumbs In order for my kids to look like "them", I would have had to been raped. I don't think its racist to want your kids look like you or your spouse as you have traditionally been seeing all your life. Condemning someone else's kids because they don't look like me would be racist and unacceptable.

@TexChik
There are 2 separate points to your comment. You have to see your reply not as a married woman to someone specific at this point in your life. Then the rape part you mentioned would make sense.

I understand wanting your kids to look like what you’re used to seeing (family circle - your race).

But to reject *possibly* mating with another race just because of what the OP said about how the kids would look like is what I find questionable in her intent.

@CookieCrumbs True , I guess I did unconsciously interject my own sense of morality into that.
