Do you believe having racial preferences is racist?

As the title says, do you believe not being attracted to entire races of people is racist? Yay or nay?

Got this idea from IG, a post is making the rounds today claiming that having racial preferences is “an internalized form of racism”.

Ladies and gents of Somalispot what are your thoughts?

 

[Nomadite]

as long as you dont put down other races while having your preference its cool, everyone has it

 

[Basic]

A conscious racial preference is fine. But if it’s subconscious there’s something wrong with you

I wouldn’t marry a bantu girl, but I don’t hate all Bantus

Not really. Having a racial preference doesn't exactly mean your a racist.

My thoughts exactly. People in this day, especially youth, are just way too thin-skinned.

All this stuff about internalised racism and unconscious bias is all bullshit.

Nah. You like what you like. As long as your keeping it yourself it’s all good.

Your not racist until you act on it

 

[Basic]

Wouldn’t it be the opposite? Lol

No. For example if I state I will only date somali guys that’s a conscious preference since I’m still attracted to everyone else I just choose to have a preference.

It’s worrying when you are only attracted to one group without it being a choice or circumstance (only being around one group).

Hot take
No one is born with a preference, we're a product of environment.
So if you wouldnt date/marry a whole racial group based on looks, you are subconsciously racist, and the environment you grew up in is racist.

If you don't want to date a transgender person who passes you are a transphobic bigot.

Stop having bigoted preferences.

But as long as you aint full on racist, its not that deep. I also have my own subconscious bias and racism

Yes, its racism that is OK

Yes, its racism that is OK

Or having friends from mostly one ethnic group is another form of racism that is tolerated.

Dating studies have shown that white people are considered ''to be the most attractive'' out of all races. If you're a white person on a dating site, you are more likely to get more matches and more messages than any other racial group.

White women are the amongst the most attractive tho, let’s be real.
