I don't think it's racist. I myself am not attracted to black and asian girls. Now if that's racist, I'm fine with that. I can't change what I don't like and I don't really want to. If that makes me a racist, so be it.

Is it racist to not be attracted to specific races?

I don't give a shit what or who anyone else puts in thier vagina/where they put thier penis.
But isn't the basic assumption that you can control who you are attracted to if it's based on race, but not if it's based on sexual orientation just a bit way too far over the hypocrisy line?
But why use logic in matters of the heart especially when virtue signalling is loved by so many people in this world theses days

Can't think of a race I haven't seen an attractive women within. I certainly don't like certain looks, which may show up more often in different parts of the world.

Nah, if we all liked the same thing it would be much more complicated.
Personally I don't do Asians. I prefer more robust frames. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate fellas that do.

No but it can be if you have racist reasons. I think its a bit racist to say that people who are some specific race are not attractive. I'm sure there are attractive people in every race.

Seen this thread so many times lol
I think if it's some pre-conceived blanket policy that you have, that you just "don't consider x race attractive, ever" then yeah maybe take a look at that. it's hard to imagine someone never finding a person from a particular race attractive.
But at the same time only you know how you feel, and if on a case by case basis you're just not physically into someone, idk how that could ever be racist.

ACTUALLY! According to the current SJW doctrine, you are racist if you DON'T see color.

I'm certainly guilty so I hope not lol.
It's not that I find any one race completely devoid of attractiveness but I'm certainly attracted to a much higher % of some races females than others.

no it is not and this is a trap from woke racism. you can totally thing another race is sexy and want to fuck them and also be a racist piece of shit. after all, slavemasters raped their slaves and often had children with them.
who you are attracted to is pretty much random and if the identity politics ideology is about anything it seems to be about the freedom to be who you are sexually. anyone who calls you a racist for not finding them attractive is just oppressing your sexuality.

Yes, and also transphobic and homophobic.
Whats funny though is if you go through dating site stats Asian women are at the top, then usually white/latin and black women at the bottom.
Come at me and call me racist but black women just don't do it for me and sorry but I would agree they are the least attractive of the races.
And yes before people post a million pictures of sexy black models or singers/actress etc... I am not saying ever black women is ugly. Doja Cat, Mariah, Halley Berry are drop dead gorgeous.
But if you just go by averages or people you see on the street then at least to me thats how it breaks down. But I know everyone has their own tastes so I am sure plenty of people think Asian women are all ugly and black women are the most beautiful etc... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I would think it is by definition, but a benign form of it. But looking at the definitions on Google it says a racist is prejudiced against minorities and prejudice means preconceived opinions not based on experience or reason. You're basing your dislike off of personal experience presumably, but it can't be reasoned out really beyond "I just don't like this race aesthetically" , or "I just prefer this one"
So yeah to me it feels like it is but I don't think it's harmful

Well, to a degree, yes it absolutely is. "Races" are overall an outdated term that's really not appropriate to describe humans, albeit it's somehow ingrained in American thinking. (You don't hear talk about "races" in Norway, outside of like neo-nazi communities.)
The way I can understand it is that you're generally attracted more to features that are more prevalent in any of these perceived "racial" categories. That seem sensible, depending on various things you have no control over and it's likely a weird algorithm that internally judges a lot of traits to a person in terms of attraction. If it was a hard limit like "I'm not attracted to high melanin skin", then I'd definitely see it as very dubious and possibly caused by various impulses in your childhood and adolescence. Of course, there's not much to do in that regard, as you can't be forced an attraction, albeit I think the best solution would be to push yourself into talking and dating people that fall into said category, as I feel like often personality is the great equalizer in a lot of cases. At least a soft one, that can help expanding one's horizons and at least not have it as a sort of hard limit and merely a preference.
I get preferences, but "I'm not attracted to you because you're white/black/asian" is kinda hard not to call out as a rather racist impulse. Everyone has preferences, for some redheads make them fire up. My personal preferences are often really light-skinned or really dark-skinned women, but that's not something that's really defining too much who I'll go out with. It's just a slight preference and I've often also been attracted to people outside of that preference as well. Same with blondes, who aren't really my preference, but there are blondes that make me go "Oooh, hello there!".

Or all of them.
If you are white then it is racist to be attracted to other races, but you can definitely make an argument that not being attracted to other races is also racist. You can't win here.
Seriously though, the word is becoming meaningless. Even a rock can be racist.
If I were a CRT following SJW then I would say that there are two possible scenarios:
1. If you are of any race and are attracted to whites then this is because you were brought up in a white supremacist society where white is the norm for beauty and everything else is measured against the white beauty standard, etc etc.
2. If you are white and are attracted to other races then you are a icky creepy fetishist.

There's hot women in all races, there's ugly women in all races, it's not racist to have a preference but it can come across racist if you word it as such, like looking at Doja Cat and saying "she's hot, if only she wasn't black" or looking at Karen Gillan and going "Shane she's white" then yes that's racist.

Yes. Of course it is. Amazing to me 94% of respondents are having such an issue with this. Any time you "prefer" a race over another, it's racist. Or you can even go a step further and call it culturalism. Whatever you want.
You either accept that you are racist, and preference is ok or you are going to have to convince yourself and everyone you have no preference. Preferring a race over another is no different than disliking a race over another. Both racist. Both preferences. And people do mental gymnastics to avoid the obvious reality, some racism is simply a natural inclination and the key is tolerance not pretending it doesn't exist. Whether you spin it as positive or negative, it's still racism.
Society is really going to need to come to terms with this kind of the way we did with Good and Bad cholesterol or else this is what we end up with: cognitive dissonance. Yes everyone is racist to some degree. Especially those racists that actually go as far as talking about preferring being with another race. That's also totally fucking racist. I have never met a non-racist. Have no idea who or what they look like. I've met a bunch of hypocritical people who claim to be.

Yea pretty much this....excpt you are wrong in one way..race is not an outdated term..its actually a new term....the way its used these days. No one talked about races hundreds of years ago ( pre..atlantic slave trade) ..when they did they were talking about ethnic groups. In most places of the world plenty of people in the world still are more ethno or group centric then thinking about racism.
When it comes to dating where would you place "black" , its ridiculous to just lump people together in the category of "race" since its such a loosely defined term which doesnt mean anything because the flagpole is moved per person per ideology per will. South Africans are not middle africans are not north africans are not east africans are not American Blacks are not brazilian blacks. Even this is a broad brush and can be broken up even further to groups from a few hundred years ago who maintained life in a small area and didnt travel or breed out from those areas much. Using people of african heritage as an example but it applies to every area of the world. Do people classify Australian Aborigines as "black" how would that even make sense...they left africa longer then most groups. We also live in a world that now isnt restricted for most places so the mixing is now even more common then it was during the roman empire. Its easy to get caught up in this nonsense when you live in the states and have it tossed in your face every few minutes. . When i was growing up , if you said an italian and an irishman were the same "race" you would hear it!
Basically ethnic groups were created because people rarely left the pockets of the world they were born in ....ironically the whole idea of racial "purity" makes you genepool worse as its really inbreeding.
That being said , breeding "out" doesnt mean jumping on a plane to marry a Bantu...it just means out of your small local area if your area has not seen traffic in a very long time.
Its like what rokkan said, its about the features you find attractive. To say , i dont find "black" people attractive is kind of dumb though since....eastern africans who fall under the umbrella term of "black" dont have the same facial features of those loosely defined definitions.
So yea...date or go out with people you find attractive physically and culturally.

I'll date anyone as long as
1. They're a fellow woman
2. They aren't a garbage human being
3. I enjoy their company
Race and all that crap matters 0 to me.

Nah, I think it's just the same as if someone is not attracted to any redheads or blondes or brunettes or whatever.
We aren't talking about judging people's character here. We are only talking about physical attraction which can be very specific to a lot of people without there being any actual prejudism in it.
Now if that attraction is about not liking someone's looks because the look implies low intelligence or whatever, that's racist, or at least it's prejudice. It would be the same if someone thought red hair implies low intelligence and that's why one can't be attracted to redhaired people. But when it's just about not being attracted to certain physical appearances without any underlying reasons that really aren't about the looks, I can't see how that's racist or prejudice even. Now that said, I think there are a lot of people who aren't attracted to certain races for racist reasons. For example I'm not sure if me not being attracted to Australian aboriginals is because of solely of their general look or if it's because part of me thinks their looks might show some kind of inferiority I might think is unattractive. I'd like to think it's not about that but it might be.
And then there's also the fact that one could be generally unattracted to a certain race, but certain types of appearances from that race might be really attractive to the same person. And even in that scenario one could be unattracted to the other types from that race for racist reasons while still having no racist issues with that other type from that race.
