Of course, you won't know that unless you actually talk to a person - which you won't do because you assume every member of every race not white is inferior to yourself.

Default Does the refusal to date outside of one's race make you a racist?

If the answer is yes, so be it. I am a racist. I really don't care what someone else thinks about. Who I am attracted to, or why, is my business. To Hell with Political Correctness, I live in America. I'll date who I want, marry who I want, and procreate with who I want.

Yeah, I think it really does. For instance, you can have very light skinned people who are black, but if you don't date black people its not about skin color its about race.


I would say that your preference for a lighter skin color is also racist as it was probably something you picked up as part of this cultures overall desire for light skin.

but hell, if thats the most racist thing you do. . .its not too bad. We are all a little racist.
