Do racial preferences make you a racist?

Post Reply New Topic

K, I'm sure you can find whites and east asians who feel the same way about black people that you do and can be happy with them.

I'll just leave you with this:

'No Blacks' Is Not A Sexual Preference. It's Racism.

And here's the Australian study that is linked in the above article:

Australian Study about the Connection Between Sexual and Generic Racism

For those who claim they can't find any black women (since it seems they are the least desired by Whites in this thread) or any some specific-race attractive, and claim that "Ohh I can't help it".

Let's do an experiment.

Go now to Porn hub, watch a black female pornstar in a setting of your liking.

If you get horny and cum like a volcano then what you were saying was all bullsh!t.

...Reading only the OP , I'd say no...It's OK to have a " type "/preference , certainly for dating/romantic life !

...Oooh , let's , given how this seems to have developed , let's REALLY throw a bomb in here --- and recall the concept this American Anglo-Saxon has heard of African-Americans throwing around - The concept among African-Americans of " a white person smell " - Any comments , y'all ?

No it's not! It should be illegal! We should certainly be able to use the law to force our views on everyone else! (and there's no way that kind of law will ever be used by someone else to force their views on us because our liberal views and objectivly right!)

If someone says they'd never have sex with a black person, they should be required be required by law to have sex with a black person because the anti-racism law is more important than consent laws.

It should be illegal for people to disagree with us liberals because there's no way we could possibly ever be wrong about anything!

Having racial preferences is almost as bigoted as having bodytype preferences or attractiveness preferences! A guy who says he'll only date pretty girls is the most bigoted of all.

And if a straight guy gets propisitioned by a gay guy and the straight guy refuses, he's guilty of homophobia! The straight guy shouldn't get so hung up over the gender of his partner since liberal science says gender is only a social construct.

And someone who says they won't date someone with AIDS is a bigoted AIDSphobic.

So anyone who's dating preferences are based on the race, bodytype, attractiveness, or gender is a bigot who should be sent to liberal reeducation camp!

There are too many conservaties! They're all bigots! (note that saying you won't date conservatives is not bigotry according to liberal science). We should just make it illegal to vote Republican. Anyone who votes for Trump is a bigot! Anyone who critisizes Hillary is a mysogynist!

We should get rid of that pesky first amendment since it's used by bigots and conservatives! It was written by slave owners anyway so how could it possibly have anything good to say? We should make a new amendment granting free speech to everyone so long as they agree with us!

We should have signs at the polling booth saying anyone who doesn't vote for Hillary will be arrested, convicted without trial and sentanced to 20 years in prison! That way we can have true democracy!

/sarcasm

Then is someone e who will only date black men racist?

I wonder where the hell mixed people are supposed to go into this?

What if a 1/4 White, 1/4 Black, and 2/4 Asian person would ONLY date people 1/2, 3/4 or fully Asian?

The people here who believe having a racial preference is racist seem to imply it is only racist if it is someone not of your own race, i.e. a white person not attracted to black people.

So what if I'm all 3 'races' and only want to date 1?

Would that make me racist against my 'own people'?

What really is my 'own people' at this point?

If much of my family and friends are black and white, but I've only ever dated Asian women and want it to stay that way, I am not racist. Period.

I'm not 1/4 white, 1/4 asian and 1/2 black though. That was just an example person.

Wait, so which is more racist? Refusing to date outside of your race or having a preference outside of your race?

No it doesn't make you racist. Just like preference for a particular gender (being gay or straight) doesn't make you sexist. Preferring to date within your own age range doesn't make you ageist.

It really does seem to be true far too often that once someone has decided to believe something it really doesn't matter what kind of evidence they see to the contrary, they will just ignore anything that goes against what they've decided to believe is reality and dig in deeper with the wilful blindness and ignorance. It's like people intentionally decide to stop learning about things once they're done school, and their mind is set from there and can't be changed by new information because they can't/won't actually take in any new information and process it and analyse it, because that information might somehow threaten what they've already learned and force them to continue learning and possibly adapt what they've already learned to the new information.

It frightens me how many people don't see learning as a life-long process. Like adults have no use for learning, like it could serve no good purpose to expect to go on learning through adulthood and that one's opinions might shift from time to time based on that process of learning. Shouldn't we feel prompted to challenge beliefs? After all, if beliefs are well-founded and lots of evidence exists to support them then they should stand up fine to any questions and examination. And if through questioning we discover they are not well-founded then we can discard them for ones with more and better evidence to support them.

The very same could be said to you and your unchanged beliefs.

Your idea that adults should always be choosing to learn and challenge their beliefs is also an opinion, one I'm sure you would never change or get rid of.

Holding onto the idea that we should always challenge ideas is an oxymoron, because we are not challenging all of our beliefs if we do not challenge the belief that we should always challenge our beliefs.

Maybe we shouldn't always challenge our beliefs and ideals.

There are at least a few things we believe to be true that should sometimes stay that way for the good of ourselves and well-being.

The negative outcome of always questioning ourselves and our ideals can cause cognitive dissonance, low self-esteem, indecisiveness, and a lack of motivation or direction in life.

Most people's opinions simply can't be swayed one way or the other. Most people's beliefs are set in stone at a certain point and it takes an overwhelming amount of time and evidence for them to even think of any alternative.

This isn't always necessarily a bad thing.

I don't let these sort of debates keep me up long into the night, why should anyone have to?

It was not better in 1940-1960, that is just a delusion baby boomers believe which is why they are dangerous to this generation.

My beliefs have changed over time, as I've grown and learned. You don't know me or what I've been through and how that has changed how I see the world, so to call my beliefs "unchanged" is incredibly presumptuous of you as well as incorrect. You are young--once you've been alive for a few more decades you will have a better idea of how a person's views can change with time and experience.

I don't think it makes you a racist. Just don't base your preferences on stereotypes.

I myself have never been exposed to the idea of everyone of the same ethnicity having a particular smell, smells like crap to me. Considering I certainly don't notice any specific smells related to ethnicity and as I've said colorado is pretty diverse as far as that aspect.

Many injustices were swept under the rug to create a perfect society, racial discrimination and segregation were accepted as normal.

Anyone regarded as a disabled member of society would be locked away in an institution where they would face inhumane treatment under harsh conditions.

I do not understand why right wing movement's believe that society would be a better place if we regressed backwards from everything that has been achieved in recent years.
