I just don't know about this whole preference thing. Like I could imagine 1950s white people saying "oh I'm not racist, I just prefer black people use a separate water fountain."
Except that not wanting to fuck someone of a certain race is different from treating a race as second class citizens
Desegregate your dick, shitlord.
Refusing to consider that you may want to fuck someone of a certain race comes from pretty much the same motivation. Saying "I've never met a black person I'd want to sleep with" is a very different thing to saying "I'd never want to sleep with a black person".
Except I never said they were the same.
Except that yes, you did.
Meh, I'm attracted to people of all shades and backgrounds but I don't buy the "it's just like preferring blondes over brunettes" comparison that happens every time this is discussed.
No, it's like liking one race, and not liking another race whatsoever completely end of story.
Which is ridiculous to me because races are so broad how can you exclude all black people or all hispanic or asian or white people-- unless you've got some racial hangups you haven't addressed. I just don't get that. Probably never will.
It is exactly like comparing hair color, at least in the case of purely physical attraction. Dark brown skin doesn't do it for me in exactly the same way that I'm generally not attracted to yellow hair. I'm not saying I have a problem with black people as human beings and I have no problem with blonde people. I sometimes find myself attracted to light skinned blacks or mixed race girls but I would have no issue with someone saying they want nothing but the lilliest of white.
Saying "I've never met a black person I'd want to sleep with" is a very different thing to saying "I'd never want to sleep with a black person".
It's not like comparing hair color- not the way they do it.
"I prefer blondes over brunettes" implies that you still like brunettes, albeit less than blondes.
"I don't like black women."
There is no comparison there. That is a person saying, "I don't find an entire race of people attractive, period."
The equivalent to the hair color comparison would be, "I don't like black girls as much as I like X girls."
[e] and yeesh, the phrase "light skinned blacks" doesn't do it for me either.
Honestly, it sounds like you have more racial hangups than I do.
I no longer care about what you have to say if you're going to make an assumption about me based on a conversation about comparisons. Have a good evening or not I don't really care.

I prefer white women and lighter skinned Hispanic or black women. I like darker skinned women as well but I prefer lighter skin.
Am I racist? All of my gf's have either been white or really light Hispanics which I prefer. I also would dig a darker girl if the opportunity came up.
IMO, no, I don't think you're racist and don't really know why you asked me this. But at the same time, and no offense here, I don't really care if you are or not.
The only thing I came to do was to challenge the hair color comparison and express my confusion with finding a whole race of people unattractive. Which you don't.
Everyone I've heard use the hair example has implied that they still like darker skinned girls as well. Which I guess what my post was about.
I guess we've just encountered different people, I guess.
You didn't care what I said in the first place. You demonstrated that by clearly disregarding my logical reply. I do hope you have a good night. I think you need it more than I.
