I don't recall a major turnoff but only once.. When I had met the guy, who seemed like such a sweet studious kind of guy, shy and cute.
Then when we went out on a date and spoke on the phone.
He kept talking all ebonic like "aaight" "aaight" over and over, "aiight..'
He grew up in middle-class suburbia, and it wasn't like he roughed it up in an inner-city area. He was trying to be all cool, and he wore a really tight white shirt and his nipples were showing through, and his wanna-be white hammer pants? It was total night and day. I was so turned off.

He lived in middle-class suburbia, and it wasn't like he roughed it up in an inner-city area. He was trying to be all cool, and he wore a really tight white shirt and his nipple was showing through in his wanna-be-hammer pants. It was total night and day. I was so turned off.
"blowing your nose at the dinner table" date.
"Talking about your cat like its a person" date.
"Constantly checking your phone/messages/facebook" date.
"Im a Christian woman who loves Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman because they are brilliant" date.
I don't have a hard list of turn offs as it depends on the person, but I would say being prejudiced and/or having no desire continue learning.

That might be a turn off to you, but using the vernacular does not mean someone grew up in a rough neighborhood. A lot of African-Americans across various socioeconomic backgrounds use it in some form or another including in black churches and various forms of music that aren't hip-hop.
