Could be. There are plenty of very diverse neighborhoods that are safe and sound. If they say they want to live in an area that happens to be mostly white, but don't make that a priority, than that's not really bigoted.
I used to date a black girl who seemed kinda racist. Would always make unsolicited comments about white people, never directed at me, mind you. Still uncomfortable. Her brother was definitely racist, so could have just been his influence rubbing off, I don't know. Otherwise she was cool.
I had a friend like that (Latina). Her and this one other friend of hers actually bragged about each "bagging a white guy".
Assuming you're not of course. Just because, he/she didn't use a derogatory slur towards a race frequently or was a Klan member, but still felt very uncomfortable around a different race, says stuff like "interracial dating is gross" or says that they wouldn't hire fill in the blank race but had no issues being polite to them.
If so, why?
Mod comment: Please tread lightly, people. I've already deleted some inappropriate posts. Please don't be specific about any particular race(s). You can answer the OP's question without going there. Thanks.
Absolutely not. Intelligence and character are extremely important traits that anyone I date must have. Someone who is a racist do not have these things.
Not only would I NEVER date someone who is racist, I would not even bother to associate with people who are like this.
Racism is just fundamentally stupid..... it is just stupid... to say otherwise isn't intellectually honest.... to write off a whole group of people based on some preconceived ideas is just silly.... I can't express myself any clearer about the subject.

I had a Dominican girlfriend who had a racist black boyfriend before me. In the end she got sick to death of his rants. She couldn't stand his nonsense any more. So she went out to date a white guy on purpose. It was good while it lasted.
I find women in general (particularly white women) to be far less racist than men, but I've also found women to be far more naive about racial issues than men as well. There is a happy medium. I wouldn't date a racist, but I also wouldn't date someone living in la-la land that refused to acknowledge realities in our society.

why would you date a racist person... I mean the world is full of people, why pick one that is so flawed..... you appear to be a white guy, why date a person that makes cracks about white people..... I'm not seeing the logic here.
