Does the refusal to date outside of one's race make you a racist? (accuses, religion)

according to other people when I have said I have never really found anyone attractive outside of my race, yes

but I feel like we are all racists in a way, just as we are all hypocrites. we all judge people whether we realize it or not.
so the better question would be does that make you a bad person?

I just don't understand why the OP is asking though. why care about what other people think? do you really need validation?

Those people are wrong.

"I have never found a person of another race attractive" is not racist. It's a statement of fact.

I find my wife's refusal to allow me to date other women sexist.

that's why I said according to other people but it doesn't really matter because as I said when you think about it, we can all be racists.

BUT

The OP's question is, by definition, racist.

[monkeywrenching]

it is just a preference of the person who is dating. I have seen women that wont date outside of their race, and have seen women who wont date anyone in their own race.

who cares, personal choice.

personal choice isnt illegal yet, is it?

I don't think so. I've read it's pretty typical to want to be with someone who resembles you to a degree. Besides which, I'm attracted to guys with blond or strawberry blond hair and light colored eyes and a good straight nose.

Perhaps. But a refusal to date outside one's race is racist. By definition.
