Is it racist if you aren't attracted to a particular race?

Look, we all know hot is hot. But do you think it makes you racist if you aren't particularly attracted to a particular race?

btw, not asking about me. I love all hot women of all races. Cause they're hot and they're women and beauty isn't confined to a race. But my cousin says that he just isn't attracted to some women and that he's okay with being a racist about it.

He's kind of awful like that sometimes.
 
No.

Its racist to think that person is a lesser human, or inferior, or evil, or flawed...being attracted to them is not this.
 
No but I don't see how you can find beautiful people unattractive just because of their skin color

I don't know why people keep saying this. Race isn't just about skin color. There is a very large difference in facial bone structure between most races.
 
A babe is a babe in any race, but that isn't to say I'm not predominately attracted to a certain type.
 
I don't know if it's "racist", but it's certainly shortsighted. All members of a race don't look alike.

I think it says a lot more for stereotyping and western beauty standards, and that in itself is a problem.
 
It's not racist in the sense that you're not making a conscious decision to not be attracted to a certain class of individuals. But it is racist in the sense that people are becoming so conditioned by society and the media that they are incapable of being attracted to individuals based on their skin color. If the culture and society that make something like that possible isn't racist than I don't know what is.

Beauty and attraction aren't the same thing. I can think someone of the same sex is beautiful, doesn't mean I have to find them attractive. Beauty, more often than not, is symmetry, attractiveness is more individual.

I think Halle Berry is a beautiful woman, but I'm not attracted to her. Skin colour can be a preference just like hair colour, no?
 
No, not in my opinion. I find all types of women hot, which has made for some pretty fucking awesome times, but we're not all wired the same.
 
Yes. I believe excluding all people of a particular race is rooted in racism, what ties all of these people together besides their race?
 
I don't know why people keep saying this. Race isn't just about skin color. There is a very large difference in facial bone structure between most races.

Cause there is a large enough variation within races that it feels excessive to say that absolutely no one is your type within a race.
 
I don't think it's racist to not be as attracted to a particular race, but being closed to the very idea kinda is.

Like me, I used to not be as attracted to asian women as white women... but over time I've seen some amazing-looking asians and have come to appreciate their beauty. I think cultivating your mind has something to do with it, as pretentious as that sounds.
 
Damn i think i may be racist. i've only been emotionally attracted to latinas and some white girls. I would have sex with any race though.
 
err, what? that's like saying if you're agist if you prefer younger/older than the opposite.

for the record, i'm not attracted to black women. except the one in victoria secret. they can just get all over this
 
Not if the reason is just a lack of pure physical attraction. If you mentally have a problem with being attracted to someone because of their race, then it's racist.
 
It's about as racist as it is homophobe not to be attracted to men..

I personally am almost never attracted to black and Asian women, at least not at the level that I am to caucasian women. Matter of preference.

Sounds like your cousin is just a racist, regardless of his female attractions.

Let me guess, he doesn't like black women?
