Pretty common argument:
"I'm having trouble finding romance."
"Date interracially."
"interracially is tricky for me because I'm generally not attracted to men outside my race."
"Why would you knowingly limit yourself to one race? Love is love. Love knows no race. Your views are backwards and it's why you're lonely and without a man."
When you merely expressed a general lack of attraction. It doesn't mean it won't happen, but for a lot of people it's a rare experience.
Often times the initial statement (I.e. "I'm not attracted to white men") makes men lose their shit even if it's not (or shouldn't be) controversial. Because men generally care about spreading their seed, they tend to have the luxury of who they pick, and without bias. Hence why it's a statement a man would generally make - a man has no legitimate reason to limit his attraction.
It's also a statement that many black men say to make their preference for white women (or non black women period) not as obvious. But the truth is in between the lines. If it were really about love, a man would be more understanding of preferences. Some people prefer tea over coffee. People having preferences is normal. Instead, they often get hyper self aware, and even defensive, at the most innocent of opinions on sexual subjectivity.
It's not always true, but it holds true for many men (especially black men) who date interracially. The interracial conversation going this way is nothing new. There's nothing wrong with interracial couples - do you, I say. But when people question or use language that guilts other people's sexual preferences that's when I start to have a problem.
