If an Asian or black woman said, 'I want to marry a white man because I think mixed kids look better.'
(this is something my sister actually said).
Do you think this is a racist thing to say?
I think it's at least somewhat racist, since it's suggesting one race, albeit not your own, is superior...but then again, you could say thinking whites look better is just an opinion, or a preference, but it's at least a grey area, would you agree?
I see nothing wrong with intermarrying, but I'm just thinking about the reasoning behind it.
Not racist. Just stupid. And she has a low opinion of herself and her parents.
Yes it is racist. I have seen hispanic/ asian girls say it more than black girls tho, I have a few friends that sadly have this mentality and they also feel they are less attractive because they aren't white.

Hispanic girls are often considered the most beautiful in the world, I mean look how often Venezeula wins Miss Universe.
I voted "No" because everyone in this country seems to be too quick to call anyone or anything racist, especially if that person or thing happens to be acting in favor of the interests of whites.

Since racism is the belief that your race is better than another then it is not a racist statement. It seems that the mere mention of another race, now brings feelings of racism. Why jump to the conclusion constantly that speaking of another's race is automatically racism? Are we all just going around in our daily lives with our racism alerts in full effect? I am white, but I think that in general, Asian children are the cutest race of children in the world. I'm not going to go out and get me a Japanese husband because of that thought, though. But, is my statement racist?

its racism no matter how you look at it. once you decide witch two races make the best looking kids we can do away with the rest of races!

I don't know whether it's racist or not but your sister is right. Eurasians are "generally speaking" very attractive people.
No different than someone saying they want to marry someone tall so they can have tall kids. Or someone smart so they can have smart kids.
Or smart or fat or big boobs or athletic, etc, etc.
How or why someone chooses a mate is nobody's business but their own.
