I was called a racist, because I do not like/am not attracted to a specific kind of guy... I was like "you like who you like"

I know I am not a racist, I myself am like Baskin Robins, one flavor for each continent! but I am still baffled by this. What do ya'll think?

Your thoughts, opinions, stories please!!

How do you expect anyone to give a credible answer with so little info? It depends on how it came out that you don't like a specific kind of guy as to whether or not you deserved to be called racist

What more info would you like? I was asked if I liked a specific type of guy, I said I am not attracted to that kind of guy, this person and his friend called me a racist...

If you reflexively eliminate entire races of people from consideration, well, you kind of open yourself up to this criticism.

I disagree, it's just personal tastes. Don't let someone guilt trip you.

Even if you made a disgusted face during your statement that may not constitute the Racist label. However, your manorisms could suggest otherwise throughout the topic.

I don't find white-blondes attractive and find middle-eastern women attractive could that make me Racist

The term 'racist' is a term bandied about by really lazy people who, ironically, are intent on stereotyping people themselves. Okay, so you prefer a certain ethnicity as the kind of person you are most attracted to. So what? You might like younger people. You might like a certain body type. You might have a dozen other preferences regarding physical appearances that fulfill your ideal S/O. I just don't see a problem with it at all.
