littleliz (01/07/2016) [-] ive been called racist for saying i would never date a black guy. i grew up in a racist household though im not racist it got imprinted and its just not my cup of tea. nothing wrong with interracial dating. its only racist if you think its bad. i dont i just prefer certain characteristics that dont fit them.

the belief that personality characteristics are determined by race is by definition racism. So you are in fact a racist.
rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm
noun
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

That's what it has always been, racism is the idea that you can use race to determine how someone will behave, think , or act. it was used by scientists in previous generations who wanted to find a way to determine characteristics about someone base on different shared traits, the trait of skin color has never been a reliable predictor of behavior. A black kid raised in a white suburb wont act like a black kid raised in the ghetto, this is because his actions are a result of his environment and not his skin color. If you agree with that statement you do not subscribe to the idea of racism. If you believe it is a mix of genetics and upbringing you still don't believe in racism. If you honestly believe that in 100% of cases race can be used to determine someones actions before they do them , than you do believe in racism.The problem comes with that 100% mark, that is obviously ridiculous and you know that if you ahve ever met any black people.

What if I'm simply not interested in people with darker skin? Curly hair or large noses? Those are features black people have, and that I may find unnatractive.
What if someone doesn't like straight hair, blue eyes and fair skin?
It's not racist if you simply have your own preferences, and just because you wouldn't date someone with those characteristics, doesn't mean you think that they are inferior or superior in any way.

anon (01/07/2016) [-] char·ac·ter·is·tic
noun
1.
a feature or quality belonging typically to a person, place, or thing and serving to identify it.
He never said physical, that is no way "obvious". Black people have diverse physical characteristics, this is a black woman who was made to look white, she is indistinguishable from a white person by anything besides hair and skin color. And an adult person saying "i don't want to date an entire race of people because of there hair style" is pretty ******* ridiculous.
TLDR: you haven't seen every black person in the world so you can't say that you aren't physically attracted to literally every single one of them. Its obvious he was referring to personality and attitudes of black people, which is equally ridiculous because those things aren't determined by skin color.

littleliz (01/07/2016) [-] no i was referring to physical. i have many black guy friends all very nice people. they all have the personalities of a dream guy but lack my personal physical attractions. just like some men wont date fat woman or some wont date ugly we all have our personal preferences and thats 100% ok. i dont actually find them unattractive some are quite handsome but that doesnt mean i want to **** them. my attraction is based on society and my upbringing. theres nothing racist about it. and if you think im racist then you are the ignorant one and i hope you start to understand one day not everyone is attractive to everyone and thats perfectly fine

teedoubler (01/07/2016) [-] He or she did not specify physical OR non-physical characteristics, and you are silly for jumping to non-physical ones. I don't date blacks either, and yes, it is purely a physical thing. Their personality doesn't matter, I am just not attracted to their appearance. Acknowledging that there is a difference in appearance is not racist.
You're the one who assumed it was racism BEFORE seeking clarification on whether he or she was referring to physical characteristics or not. Perhaps YOU are the one with the problem.

idk. this goes against my time-tested philosophy of " **** everything that looks hot."
I guarantee you there's at least one, just ONE, black person you would find attractive. The numbers are too great to suggest otherwise. And as long as you find that one black person attractive, then you cannot say "I don't find black people attractive." You would have to say "I don't find MOST black people attractive."

I would never date a black person or an Arab/Indian/Middle Eastern. I don't even like Hispanics.
There is nothing about them I like. Just their skin colour is a turn off and it doesn't even register that they're compatible. Even if they were the most amazing person in the world, it wouldn't occur to me that I could date them because I don't find them attractive. It's just like talking to other women, there's nothing arousing or interesting about them.
I would honestly only date someone if they were white or Asian.
So I don't like blacks or Arabs but I would date and have dated Asians so am I 'racist' or not?
So no, I would never date a black person.
I also don't want to be a single mother, but that's a different topic.

littleliz (01/07/2016) [-] im just going to put this comment here for anyone else who is reading this. i dont care what society lately says. love whoever you want regardless of race or size or whatever else. its not anyone elses business. and to people who are racist who cares. let them love whoever they want. if you dont like that they are racist then why is it any concern to you? and if someone doesnt like you for the way you look then oh well stand up dust off your pants try again. cause no matter what race weight height you will find someone whos gonna love you. dont ever get discouraged cause 1 person doesnt because you just werent right for them but are going to be perfect for someone else

funpunk (01/07/2016) [-] Neither's racist. It's all right to not be attracted to people of a certain race Although I find it difficult to believe that somebody could find an entire race unattractive, just look in Google Images for hot _____ woman/man and you're bound to find some exceptions , you like what you like. Personally, race doesn't matter much to me but I'd like my future kids to look like me With some mixed people you can't even tell that they're part black. I've just always been uncomfortable with the idea of having kids that don't look black, but I'd love them just the same. .

That top billboard was put up in Utah.... like you need a ******* website to find white people in Utah.
Seriously tho, I don't have a problem with either site. People generally wanna **** other people that are the same color, nothing wrong with that. Cater to your audience. Black can should have their own dating site. Latinos can have their own dating site. Farmers can have their own dating site. Paraplegics can have their own dating site. I do not give a damn. If the desire arrises, you can find a horse online and **** it.
There are plenty of dating sites that accept everybody that isn't a robot, a rapist, or a duck, so I don't see a problem with prefering to go niche website to find whatever you want without having to wade through a hundred profiles of people who simply do not interest you

lulzdealer ONLINE (01/07/2016) [-] Instead of jerking your knee, you could take what he said objectively.
In a nutshell: it is perfectly natural to desire to preserve your people and your culture, and there's nothing wrong with exclusively dating/marrying/breeding exclusively within your race for the sake of doing so.
That's seriously all it boils down to.
It doesn't mean hating every other race, or that interracial relationships are bad either.
Love of your people does not imply hate for others.

If not wanting to date someone because of their race is sexist, not wanting to date someone because of their gender is sexist.

If someone thinks it is racist to not be sexually attracted to members of a particular race, it logically follows that they must also think it's sexist to not be sexually attracted to members of a particular sex.
In other words, if you aren't bisexual you are as sexist as you are racist, if you don't want to have sex with people from a particular race.

actually due to phrasing, one implies that you have to be white to meet white people "WhereWhitePeopleMeet" and the other says "Meet Black Singles Near You" and implies that this is for meeting black single people. If they said something like "WhereBlackPeopleMeet" then it would be comparable but not necessarily like this.
Btw i don't think the first is racist

ImFrumAija (01/07/2016) [-] K so the reason the 2 are different cases are that white people are not minorities. In some communities finding single and ready to mingle minorities may not be as easy as going outside. I wouldn't say that any of these sites are racist, but wherewhitepeoplemeet.com is probably the most redundant dating site out there. If you're having trouble finding another white person in America then you might have walked too far south.

Nah, it's not about predjudice, it's about prefference and there's nothing wrong with having preferences. I for one prefer white women since I'm white but there are some black women who knock my socks right off so to speak. Asians aswell. If someone is shallow enough to make a skin color their most important dating factor to the point they need race specific dating site it's their right to be that shallow.

subaqueousreach (01/07/2016) [-] Neither is racist though. Wanting to date white people if your white or black people if you're black is perfectly normal. Just because they're not mixing gene pools doesn't mean they hate each other.
If political correctness had anything to do with why you picked your significant other, then your relationship isn't going to work out.

while this meme is right, it is not unfair to have racial preferences when it comes to our sexual choices... I don't think its racist that I prefer white women over other races, It's not about the skin color its about the bone structure of the races, black women tend to have more masculine features than other races like a more pronounced jaw bone, wider face, and bigger lips... its even psychologically found that men and women choose a more feminine face because it suggests virility and the chance to reproduce... its in our genes... thats why it is so common to find black men looking for white women, for most men to prefer smaller women and, most women to prefer men who work out (working out and being fit also tightens up the face aka makes you look slightly more feminine)
