How often does it really come down to that? I'm pretty sure I've never met a person in my entire life that only cared about the skin color. There's a difference between requiring a person to be a specific skin color, and not caring about anything else. Once again, this is a major false dichotomy.

I don't see a problem with either one, tbh. If one absolutely MUST have a black person as their mate, it's the prerogative of the person in question and it doesn't make him or her a bad person for it.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with having preferences but let's face it, unless you're an MTV music star or a famous footballer, being that selective is going to prove difficult when you are on the spectrum and even football players have to pay high class prostitutes for sex.
You can call it as foolish as you want, but it doesn't make a person bad for it.

Secondly, idolizing or generalizing a certain race or group is never a good thing, you risk the chance of being prejudice to other groups and not giving them a fair chance, it's shallow and narrow minded.
I can understand this well enough, but there's nothing shallow or narrow-minded about preferring or requiring a specific race at least from a purely physical standpoint. I don't see it any different from say...requiring that your women have to be active and do cardio. Are you not giving all those slobby women a fair chance?
