Is it racist not to be

[Wolves]

Blocking out an entire ethnic group/race is more than just a preference. It is all derived from racial mindsets that people are taught in society.

If color is a reason for not liking someone that's racist Lol.


"I don't like her because she's Hispanic" = Racist

"I don't like her because she's dumb" = not racist

It seems like you didn't read my op. I asked if not being attracted to a certain skin color is racist, that does not mean that one does not like the person.

Yes and No. If you are not attracted to dark skin girls than you're a colorist and racist. If you are attracted to light skin (whitewashed)/whiteness skin color only than you're racist & colorist.

If you are not attracted to white or light skin then you are not a racist but still a colorist. Either way discriminating is bad.

Black and dark skinned people all over are discriminated against in different societies. Because having negro features is unattractive and bad. Dark skin people are usually at the bottom in societies.

Dominican Republic treat Haitians like shit because they have African ancestry. All throughout Latin America black people are discriminated against. When you have models and actresses nearly all of them are whitewashed, I rarely see any dark skin Latino that looks like my friend on a Spanish TV program.

Globalization and such has had an impact on other socieities. The result being that you can clearly see the racial bias and discrimination of the U.S. and European affect other socieities and how they treat dark skin people.

So if you're not attracted to dark skin people than yes you have been programmed not to be by socieity.

You clearly didn't read what I said.


Not being attratcted to a certain color/ethnic group is more than just a preference. Like I said.

I wouldn't date a black person because they have dark skin sounds racist to me lmfao. I don't know about you

But that's still not what I mean. I would go on a date with a black girl, but she would have to win me over through her personality. White girls have it a bit easier, as I'm already attracted to them.
Not being attracted to certain skin colors doesn't mean that it can't change, that I would treat the person differently, it's just not my preference.
Who do you really know that only lives his life based on his preferences?

That's exactly what you meant was it not?

Is it racist not to be
attracted to certain skin colours (in a sexual way)?

And I posted regarding what you wrote. Like I said for the 3rd time there is no such thing as a preference for skin color and race. That is a racial discriminatory mindset that a lot of people have. Saying a black girl has to win you over because she has dark skin but a white girl doesn't because her skin is white is racist/prejudice. And I asked a lot of people around me in school this and they said it sounded racist too.

Wow, I'm dumbfounded. A vast majority of people responding are claiming that it is not racist, when in fact it is 100% racist. Having preferences is understandable, however, to eliminate an entire race from that preference based solely off skin colour is discriminating and shows racism.

Easy way to put it, let's say you are white and you are not attracted to hispanics what-so-ever, like being hispanic is an absolute game breaker for a relationship. You find your dream girl, she has the personality you love, the smile you love, the charm, the humour, the eyes, everything about her is a perfect match and she's the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, and she's white, win for you, right? Now, we take the same exact girl, same everything about her, everything you love about her, everything you would never give up about her, but now she is hispanic. Is she no longer your dream girl? Did you rule her out because she is hispanic, because her skin colour is the colour you dislike?

So yes, it is entirely racist, you're segregating and discriminating others based solely off their skin colour. In fact, to single out an entire race based on preference is not only racist, but it's completely shallow of anyone who thinks otherwise as they are taking looks into account more so than personality, or who that individual is inside. So please, do not bother even acknowledging those who say it isn't racist on this thread, they are blind, literally, as they're so called 'preferences' are shallow and prefer looks over personality.

I have my own preferences. But it doesn't mean I don't find other people or races beautiful. I can appreciate beauty in any form or colour. Maybe not in the way you see it.

You kinda got my point now, but I didn't say that I would instantly date a white girl, I just said she'd have it a bit easier. That's a difference.
Also, I don't think the discriminatory mindset has to apply on everyone, as just as I said I am not crossing them out entirely, just the looks are what doesn't appeal to me at first. I would most likely say that many/some men are not attracted to bigger women, that doesn't mean that it can't change and that you can't end up with one, it's just that, at first sight, you'd most likely choose the thinner one.
That's discrimination in some way as well, but it always has different levels to it, and I'm pretty sure that no one lives without those "discriminating" tendencies.

I got your point, but it's not like preferences are set in stone and can't change. If I'd go around saying: "I'd never date a black girl cause she's black!" That'd be racist.
But if I say that I'm not really attracted to women with black skin color, just means I'll have to find another way to get attracted to her (more). Because in the end, it's all about ***, and that is for a majority of people, based a lot on physical attractiveness and preferences lol.

Well it is mindsets people are taught. Every time you go on the internet it is white beauty standards. Magazines white beauty standards and etc. European features are very praised in this world. And they have done plenty of examples where they show a Asian person or black person. And they give them more European looks and more times than not people preferred the one with more European defined characteristics. It is just shows how people are brainwashed by western beauty standards.

she'd have it a bit easier

Exactly for skin color that's worshipped in this world. You ain't seeing darker people skin color praised on all fashion/beauty outlets. This all goes back to deeper issues than just a simple preference.

That's colorism that a lot of people not just black people suffer from and people in India suffer from this too. They have a lot of documentries on this too. They see lighter skinned people more attractive than darker features. This all goes back to colonialism and imperialism. And brainwashing people to see more "white looking" more beautiful

 

[Pride]

Yes it is racist.

Ignore specific light skin part. Is it racist to not be equally sexually attracted to everyone regardless of color. Is it racist to have preference

Ugh, I am black as well, that was just an example. So you think even though I've lived in Africa for 3 years, I got brainwashed and can't have my own preference? Lmao
