Is it okay to have racial preferences when dating like white women only wanting to date black men for example?

I remember hearing about how black women are angry that Tiger Woods only has affairs with white women.

I also hear white guys angry about the Kardashian sisters only dating Black men.

Is it considered racist to have these preferences? I guess it’s okay to do whatever one pleases, if it doesn’t affect anyone.

But what if the racial dating preferences is only limited to one type to the point where a signicant amount of people can’t find dates. – example; Black women can’t find husbands or White men can’t find dates.

If you have a preference for people of a certain race, I wouldn’t consider that racist. Having a preference doesn’t mean you won’t branch out or be open-minded. If you only date people of a certain race, then you might want to evaluate why. Like someone else said, if your answer to why you only date people of a certain race is anything like "because all other races are (negative characteristic)" then it’s racism.

Black women will be able to find husbands and white men will be able to find dates.

    I don’t care and think its quite silly. A person who can’t help who they are attracted to. If you don’t fit into that mold than oh well they are just one of many.

  4. I believe it is racist to date outside your race. If you mate with a different race, you are commiting genocide. All races should stay pure and save "diversity".

  6. I don’t think its neccessarily racist because you can’t really help who your attracted to. I suppose if they had to choose, the majority would go for their own kind or similar? I’m mixed race but I don’t have a preference, but I’ve found I’m not attracted to black men at all. I don’t know if its just cause the ones I know are just jerks or I just don’t like them at all but then I’ve been attracted to an Asian boy before and I never thought I would in all honesty so I dunno! It’s who you fall in love with I guess…Haha helpful ay? :)

  7. It’s not "wrong" per se because it is only the business of the individual who they choose to date. But it is small-minded of them if their "preferences" go so far as to turn someone down automatically if they do not meet racial requirements, or if they will date someone who isn’t good for them just because they DO meet racial requirements. Me, for instance, tend to be attracted to white guys 99% of the time, as far as just looks go. But if a nice Asian, black, or hispanic man approached me, I would never flat-out turn them down, because relationships are supposed to go a lot further than first impressions.

  8. We were put here on this world, as different racial categories, each having it’s own purpose and genetics. On a census question of race, what does a 1/2 and 1/2, put as an answer? I have seen problems with children born of different races, they have severe problems growing up, finding a relationship, which race do they settle with? It is a problem. Our parents were old fashioned and believed in staying within our own race, which I also believe. Has nothing to do with being racial, it has to do with our genetics.

  9. I personally don’t feel like it’s racist. You can’t help who you’re attracted to. It’s just like some people are attracted to people with different color hair. It’s normal. I have been with both black and white men. My boyfriend is currently black and I will say he has treated me with more respect than any white guy I have been with, but I’m not saying anything bad about the white guys… guess I was just getting with the wrong ones.

    Which black women are angry about Tiger Woods white affairs? Are they bothered he isn’t having affairs with Asian women?
    Interesting.

  11. I think you need to evaluate why you only date one race or another. If you are black and you only date people of other races, I think you need to take a minute and ask yourself why. If you come back with an answer that is something like, "All black men/women are … then there is a problem.

  13. No it’s not racist. I’m black and I’d date black or latina, maybe east-asian. I think dating a white girl is too weird for me. There are attractive ones(as in every race), but they aren’t for me, and I’m not for them.

    If black women want to date only interracial, that’s on them. Even if they want to call black men names and quote stats like the women on youtube.

    One day those words will come back to haunt them, I guarantee.
