If it's racist to not want to date someone because of their race...

Why do you have to look at from a racial perspective. Whatever girls you date or like race should be excluded..

If you say I won't date a ____ person because I don't find them attractive, its not racist.

If you say, I won't date a ____ person because I hate _____s. kinda racist.

Being homosexual is a bioligical function that cannot be changed. The same cannot be said for racism.

I really want to date an Asian... Does that make me racist?meconate

Is it sexist to not want to date someone because of their sex? Does this mean that all heterosexuals and homosexuals are sexist?

I think so. Now, I know that many will say that sexuality is a biological preference, but I think a good argument could be made for a biological basis of racial preferences too.

What do you think?

It has nothing to do with their race. It's to due with whether or not you find them physically attractive.

no, i think all races have women in it that are good looking or ugly some more then others tho my fav race of women are hispanic , something about them there so sexy ave u seen selena gomez edit hes 18 now right? just making sure lol

[QUOTE="charlesdarwin55"]Just answer the question. If A is from a race with generally small eyes but this individual has big enough eyes for you(since these kimds of thing varies also within races) would you be ok with dating her?Overlord93

a girl has a feature(ascociated with/a result of) her race

• I find her unattractive because of that feature

I am therefor choosing not to date her as a result of her race

If a girl of same race has a different feature (thus that feature is not one generally associated with her race) - Then that is a completely different argument, and since we are talking about choosing a girl due to her physical appearance then yes, if she has the physical appearance I find attractive, of course I'm going to"date her" in this scenario!

Absolutely yes! If u choose not because of her race you're definitely racist.

*"a girl is hot an" -removed for irrelevancecharlesdarwin55

I am responding to this (still :roll: )

Have I not proved that this is wrong? (via text in purple)

U see I think there's a difference in not wanting to date someone because they have a feature associated with a particular race and not wanting because she belongs to the particular race. Let's say u have 2 girls both belong to the race Omor, the avarage size of Omor eyez are slightly less than most other races. Omor girl 1 has big enough eyes for u, omor girl 2 has slightly smaller. So (1/omor/big eyes) & (2/omor/small eyes), girl 2 asks if u want her u say; no, because u are omor. Girl 1 asks and u say; yes. That doesn't make sense at all, it's completely illogical. & yes the small eyes maybe is because of her race, but girl 1 is just as much Omor as girl 2 thus the fact of belonging to the group Omor was never an issue. I can guarantue u there are many people who would not date a girl because of her race even if he found her attractive. ie I don't want u cause u are arab or I don't want u because u have a feature relatively common with your race. Don't u think there is a difference?charlesdarwin55

This is an interesting thread, and some interesting points have been raised.

I still feel that it's a preference, does not being attracted to black women make me racst? I hope not.

But it's interesting that if you were making a sports team or something similar not picking people because of their race would be considered racist.

This thread is making me think :o

Race doesn't matter;

If you make a good sandwich, look good, and give good head, then I would date you.

Well, to start... it isn't racist to prefer one ethnicity over another.foxhound_fox

That's preference. To say that you don't like black girls because they are some loud mouth heffas is racist. To simply say you don't like black girls because they don't attract you is different...tocool340

Only if they are black

what?

Depends. Scenario 1: "I won't date a black girl because I simply do not find them very attractive." No. Scenario 2: "I won't date a black girl because she my steal my stuff.". Yes.cd_rom

In the strictest definition of the word : Yes.

Also, yes, it is sexist to not want to bone someone of the same sex. Once again in the strictest definition of the word.

Neither of the terms convey negativity though. It's just in this day an age most things we consider racist are in fact negative.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]Well, to start... it isn't racist to prefer one ethnicity over another.CwlHeddwyn

Its not racist to not want to date someone because of their skin color. Now not wanting to date them because you think if you do they'll kill you or rob you, then yes that is racist.

So its not sexist not to want to date a certain gender, unless ofcorse, you dont want to date them because you believe they are all rapist or killers.

actually it isnt. here it is from dictionary.com

[QUOTE="VanHelsingBoA64"][QUOTE="CwlHeddwyn"] err isn't that the very definition of racist.Gamingclone

actually it isnt. here it is from dictionary.com

What I find funny is when people say they refuse to date their own race. I've known white girls who only date black guys and some Japan-fanatics who claim they only date asians.

[QUOTE="Gamingclone"]

[QUOTE="VanHelsingBoA64"] Yes. VanHelsingBoA64

actually it isnt. here it is from dictionary.com

I'd say a race is a preference but if you don't want to date someone purley based on the fact they are a particular race or sterotypes or whatever then that is racist.

And if being heterosexual is sexist, then I am one of the most sexist people out there.

i would not date / cause they are lazy and fat

i would not date / cause they are dirty, have smelly food, and we would end up living with her extended family

i would not date / cause they scare me

i would not date / cause most seem to have bad teeth

i would not date / or / cause they probably would steal my stuff

No. I know plenty of people who just aren't attracted to blacks or Asians or latinos or whites...they don't refuse to date them for racist reasons such as "they'll steal my bike" or "they're gonna eat my pets" ! ( I get asked if I eat dogs sometimes, believe it or not. I just smile and say yes.)

[QUOTE="bluelf"]Nope totally a preference. What do you say to those people like myself who prefer to date outside their race? Are they racist towards themselves or their own race? Hardly.Genetic_Code

Sorry to say it fella but your views sound a slight bit distorted. How is preferring to date outside your race, racist?

in this day and age everything is racist and wrong so just live how you want and dont worry with what others think. People are so touchy and dramatic anymore..I miss the 80s.

Well you may not be attracted to them. But not wanting to date somebody because they are a certain race i think can be easilyconsidered racist.

No it's a matter of preferance.katana_duo

Ehh... Guess i agree.

Ditching the other thing i said saying it is racist.

The goodness of reading other sides of the story.

What if you wanted to keep your race alive and well? You do know that some people want to see their race 100 years from now. AND the rate its going everyone is going to be mixed. Do I care? Well not really. BUT some people do. That isnt racist, its wanting to keep your heritage alive and well..Nothing wrong with that.

You do know that some people want to see their race 100 years from now. VanDammFan

No...some people simply aren't into say Asians for example. I myself wouldn't mind, I think there are pretty women all over the world in every country. Everyone has their favorites though.
