Without any sort of internal bias, do you think it's possible to find NOBODY, not one individual, from a certain racial or ethnic group attractive?

Like are there certain features which are deal-breakers, no matter what?

While I have preferences I can find individuals of any race or nationality attractive. You might not be into the typical _____ look, but usually I can find exceptions.

Also a lot of it isn't actually looks but other things like cultural aspects.

I think those who dismiss a whole race on the basis of looks can be closed minded.

Not wanting to mix is another matter altogether, but I think most people can find attraction people from all groups. That's just my two cents.

No I don't think so.

Unless you are so racist your eyes don't work any more.

Yeah I mean like not like Asians, for instance. There are some Asians with more 'European' looks. I guess you could say then why not just go for a European, but I'm sure there are some say Japanese film stars or whatever that the majority of women everywhere would find attractive. Unless having black hair or something is just SO offputting that they can't.

Apparently Asian (including S. Asian men) are the 'least desirable' according to polls.

On a related note. I've been finding Asian girls really attractive lately. I still prefer more 'Caucasian' looking Asian girls, I will say, but sometimes I prefer them to actual white girls. There are many attractive Caucasian girls and girls from all races but I'm finding they're sometimes put on a pedestal.

Of course, I should know, I am one, apparently. It's an accident of birth, though. Nah I really don't care, I'm not too bad looking, it's just a fact that is easy to forget when you're a 'minority.' I just wish it wasn't an issue at all, ya know.

Political correctness heroes would pounce all over someone who answered yes to this question. However, I can tell you that most men of my race that I've discussed this with have no attraction to females of a particular race. I don't think it's racism as most of them tend to like females of another race that's not theirs. The ones that only like females of thier particular race could be due to racist views but not always.

You know slowly the minority races will be more of the majority. Browning of America.

Doesn't make someone not racist. For instance, someone could ONLY date those of ANOTHER race yet secretly feel their own race is inferior in looks or otherwise. THAT is racist. You CAN be racist to your own race.
