This was one of those issues which in the past, I was on another side with, now I've taken a completely different approach.
I used to think it was racist for you to not find a racial group attractive. I did.
But now, I can totally get it, and understand. It's okay really. Those who understand, understand. Those who don't, (as me myself was apart of that group) I hope like myself they eventually get the picture.
You cannot help what you are attracted to, and what you put above all else as far a dating and relationships go.
I am a flamboyant and feminine dark skin black man.
However, if I had my way, my ideal man would be a guy complete opposite of that. He's a bear chubby guy, who's more than likely white. As I do prefer white men, and most of the shit I jack off to, are white men.
So therefore it's not racist, as you are just attracted to what you're attracted to.
What is not okay, is people being shitty about it. For example, headlining different groups or races and warning them not to contact them. Or being rude to those you don't find attractive.
If you receive a message from someone not your type, ignore it. If you are approached by someone not your type, reject them kindly.
So that's how I feel.
