Didn't we just have one of these threads a few days ago???
No, having a dating preference isn't racism.... as much as many people here say it is........They need to consult a dictionary and get the proper definition of racism.
Ummm...

Yes. Refusing to date outside of one's race is pretty much the definition of racism.
For a person who says he's not racist and op isn't racist you sure get very defensive when called a racist which means that you know you are racist so you are saying that race is an attribute that affects someone perception of someone when it comes to wether or not one wants to accept them sexually? how is that not racist? it's still prejudice against a skin color? lol.
A man, unless he is gay, will find a beautiful girl sexually attractive. He may have his preference or prejudices but still find her sexually attractive. If they are not accepting a person based on skin color but find other attributtes such as height, weight, acceptable then how is that not racist? lol
There are prejudices on everything like you said so a prejudice on race is defined by the American dictionary as racist. So it is whether you like it or not. It is prejudice against a skin color soley because of skin color. The reasons why they do not find that particular race attractive is not because they dont find the person beautiful but because of the prejudices or stereotypes they may believe themselves that makes them not find that race attractive. So in the end it is racist.
You're trying not to accept reality for what it is and that is really sad! What i hear the most from guys who won't date outside their race is that they make an excuse such as, i'm just not attracted to black women because I haven't found one i find attractive then they'll say, oh most black and mexican people in my area are ghetto and uneducated. So there is that prejudice still behind their reasonings for not being attracted to a particular race. They find their race more attractive because they think their race is more superior. I also hear from guys, I found out a girl i slept with had also slept with a black guy and i almost vomited. I'm thinking his preference doesn't involve black girls either then. I'm not black but these are just examples from guys i heard who picked girls out based on race and attractiveness.

A guy may not reject a woman because she is tall or short but a woman will if a guy is too short for her liking. A guy just as might reject a woman for being too tall! Hot is only hot if the person making the observation thinks the person is hot! There is prejudice/bias against tall and short (in dating and in real life), there is prejudice against weight (in dating and in real life). One can find a skin color more attractive than another. Someone can find someone else with the same features, height, weight, facial shape not as attractive with a completely different skin color. Take Angelina Jolie, some guys would be turned off if her skin color was completely dark. Some might not find Halle Berry as attractive if she was completely pale.
You seem to not want to believe that someone can find skin color attractive or magnetizing, but people can be drawn more to a skin color just as they would be drawn more to a taller or shorter height, perfect weight or shape or any other trait!
Hot is what someone thinks is hot, not what you tell them they think should be defined as hot (competely subjective)! So apples and oranges can be compared because we are talking about dating.
And on that subject, even if someone finds someone pretty or handsome, it doesn't automatically mean they want to jump their bones! One can say "she is pretty" but not be attracted to someone sexually one bit!
You can't control what someone finds attractive so call them racist if you like, but they're not racist. People get to call out what is appealing to THEMSELVES.
And someone can date another of a different race and hold hateful views of their own race. That would be prejudice. You are trying to intertwine what sexually excites someone vs views of groups of people.
One can say "I only am attracted to middle eastern women" but not feel like black women are inferior or hate them in anyway. They're just not sexually attracted to black women in that example (no matter how "hot" she is, skin tone may not turn them on)
Yes. Refusing to date outside of one's race is pretty much the definition of racism.
Not if you aren't attracted to the person outside your race. I can't get attracted to Asians and so I don't date them. If I could find an Asian that I was attracted to then I would, but by and large I am not attracted to them. Now imagine if you were only attracted to people of your race, it seems like the same thing, No?

Again, read the definition

Yes. Refusing to date a particular race (or any one not of a certain race) is racist, by definition.
Why?
Because it assumes that all people of a race share 'unattractive' traits.
You can see how that's different than saying, "I have never seen an Asian that I have found attractive but if I did, I would date them", right?
