No, you just have a preference like everyone else does.

Like, I think white/blonde women are beautiful for just about anything.

Other races, usually not as attractive for me.

Obviously in my opinion.

But, I'm not talking about just sex appeal.

If I were to run an advertisement for winter clothing, I would pick a cute white/blonde girl holding a cup of hot chocolate with big white smile or something. I guess it depends on the target audience but yeah. -_-

The thing about this is, it's really not racist until you care so much to bring it up in discussion, so you can't ever discuss it without being racist.

Well, I kind of thought about it because of this website.

It has 1,400 white models and only 600 black models for t-shirt mockups.

Are the creators of that website racist too?

Why does the answer have to say "even if you don't know it"? Can't we acknowledge that many of us have racial biases, and we should consciously try not to infringe on the rights of others. Your advertising preference isn't hurting anyone (and I'm sure Google already knows about it).

Do you find other races unattractive or less attractive? Because only one of those things is racist.

I took a sociology class once at college, my teacher taught us that we all have racial biases.

Most people are afraid to admit it though.

No. What makes this seem like an issue is culture.

What makes someone of a different race unattractive is the culture they follow.

I'd like to know how that actually works. Say you have octuplets who somehow manage to each be a different race. You find the one of your preferred race to be the most attractive person you have ever met, then meet their siblings who look exactly the same other than skin color. Does the skin color make them unattractive?

I could see someone preferring certain races over others for sure, maybe even to the point where the likelihood of them dating a certain race is null outside of very specific parameters. What I cannot see is literally not being able to be attracted to someone from a certain race regardless of how they look.

People of different races have different facial structures. It's not just the skin color.

I'm hispanic but more attracted to white girls than any other race. Not that I don't find hispanic/white/asian girls attractive, obviously if someone is beautiful their race doesn't matter and I'm gonna find them attractive. I do have a preference though. According to some in this topic, that makes me racist lol...

Do you live in a small homogenous town where everyone looks the same or a diverse city? Big difference in how you perceive people.

Although that ad part raised an eyebrow for me.


Yes, I live in a small town where whites are dominant I guess? I definitely don't live in Los Angeles.

As for the second part, did you see this other post?

if its because of cultural differences that you think is inherently tied to race than yes its racist.

I can certainly understand the idea of not finding certain predominant features of certain races attractive, but not everyone looks the same. Whether it's being mixed blood or just not matching the norm, there will certainly be at least some people who match every person's standards. I'm questioning more the kind of person who says they find nobody of a certain race attractive rather than having a major bias against them.
