Dumbest statement on this thread.
What the fuck do you think dating is? There has to be attraction there to make it work. It isn't "banning" anyone from anything by not being attracted to them, because if you aren't attracted to them the relationship will not work. Are other people entitled to a relationship with me whether I want it or not just because I'm, as you seem to believe, racist for not being attracted to them?
Come the fuck on. Use logic, please, because you clearly aren't arguing with it in mind.
If someone is attracted to a certain race and has a preference for that race then so be it.
If you think that they are being racist in some way or they’re banning other races completely then grow up and stop being such a snowflake.
I really don't get why people bitch a lot and easily get butt-hurt... can't they just grow thick skin?
Ah, here is your simple, rational response: It isn't an issue, and you're making a problem out of nothing.
How is being attracted to specifically a certain race fine, but specifically not being attracted to a certain race racist? Attraction is not taught, and gay conversion therapy victims can attest to that. Racism, however, is a viewpoint entirely caused by life experience or is taught by people around the individual. If your argument is that disliking a certain race is based in prejudice (which is not an identical term to racism), you wouldn't be wrong, since we are prejudiced toward features we find attractive in a mate, and skin tone is a physical feature, however I find it a stretch to claim that that equates to racism.
Then again, maybe I'm wrong about racism being learned and both of us are actually right, meaning that racism is as natural as (and directly affects) sexual preference.
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
I am not of the opinion that a fetish for a specific race is racist if you are using the textbook definition of it, which is inherently negative.
Sexual fantasies can be creepy, and you're entirely justified in being put off by a fetish that you disagree with, but intense sexual attraction toward a race is, in my opinion, entirely understandable, as is any other fetish.
Attraction to a demographic can be problematic and damaging if not kept in check, the same as any attraction could be. Fetishes toward certain races will probably damage your chances at a real relationship with them, because if it's something you genuinely struggle to suppress, I'm sure many people would feel that you can only view them in a sexual sense.
However, I think that if your ambitions don't lie in simply pursuing your object of desire, most people can live totally normal lives without any risk at offending anyone, because what you nut to should never be a point of offense on anyone's track record unless you are literally considering having sex with them.
I think there's a pretty clear distinction between having an asian fetish and consuming child porn. 'legal pedophilia' what kind of doop shoop de wop woop weep woop spaw wowie slop hyuck hyuck schwoop schwoop schlomp schmoo skibbidy bop bip boop bing bong gonky goo buu blinky dink is this

Grohenbird: You alternate between talking about attraction and a fetish, and those are two different things. You may be attracted to certain race because they tend to commonly posses certain features that you find attractive, and that's just normal. However, if you bring fetish into equation this becomes way more complicated. If you have a fetish for Asian girls for example, and you choose your partner based on that fetish, that's racist, because you're not just going for a person that possesses certain physical features (which people of other races might also possess), you are specifically going for an asian and that devalues a person. On the flip side, you might have a fetish for a certain race, but not let that fetish have any impact when it comes to dating, etc.
TL; DR: Attraction is not problematic, while fetish can be (just like any other fetish).
