Is It Racist to Have a Racial Dating Preference?

[Zeus]

I guess it depends. if you just don’t find a certain ethnic group attractive, on average, then that’s fine; Everyone has preferences in those regards. If you claim to not consider ANY person from a certain ethnicity attractive, then I would find that to be very odd, I would doubt your authenticity and motivation, and I would consider that nearly racist but not quite there yet, since I could just see that as being a radical preference. If you deny dating someone that you actually do find attractive simply because of their ethnicity or something then I would consider that racist and quite prejudiced, yes

Modern usage of the term frequently refers to racial prejudice that’s disguised as “just a preference” on dating apps and in real-life social settings. However, this casual framing of racism ignores the greater impact it has on the lives and self-esteem of racial minorities who are already portrayed as being less desirable in mainstream media and society at large.

It's not correct, people prefer to marry within their ethnicity/race often because they are equals culturally.

There are many other problems like classicism, specific phenotypes, etc ...

If you think about the reasons of willingness to reproduce only within your race, they generally imply either a feeling of disgust, fear or just superiority towards other races.
In any case, it can be interpreted as "we're better off on our own.".
So yes, people here should stop being delusional and admit that it perfectly falls within the definition of racism.

Its not racist. Its no ones business what your thoughts are on such things (unless you share them). In fact it sounds natural.

Some groups (some leftists and liberals) do however stretch the definition to mean just about anything.

there is such a thing as a will for biological preservation, and breeding with those closer to your genetically is in the best interest of passing on your genes
