I'm not attracted to most Asian, black, white, and Hispanic women. Does that make me a racist?

No... does this mean that you are attracted to most Asian, Black, White, and Hispanic men?

Technically, it depends on why you're not attracted to men of a certain race (assuming that's what you mean by "kind of guy"). If it involves an assumption on their character or abilities, etc., then yeah, I'd call you a racist too. If it's just simply that you don't find the skin tone attractive, I wouldn't say that makes you a racist at all.

You are not racist. Most folks do not know what the word means. People should be allowed to like and dislike whomever they choose. It becomes a problem when it prevents a person from accessing goods, services and gaining economic mobility.

I'm not into men. There's a small percent of women I find attractive.

You got to be kidding?

Nope. She was pregnant at the time and there were threats made against her life.

I should say that this was my grandmother and this was around the late 1920s/early 1930s.

What exactly should one get over?
seeing racism in everything and anything. Vast majority of people on this planet prefer to date within their own race. This is not racism, its someones preference and they are fully entitled to it.

That makes more sense. It sounded like a more recent event.

Hopefully we are all past those days (mostly)

This is like when Hitler used to rule. Hitler actually fell in love with a Jewish girl before he became ruler. She rejected him. Then when he became ruler, he killed millions of Jews just because they were Jews. It's very common that hard core racists actually want a person of the race they are racist against. I have no evidence of that , though, but it does seem like this might be the case.
