No...? It probably would be if that was the ONLY thing you liked about them and still went for it - imagine a choice between an asian guy who exhibited all the personal and physical traits you hated most in the world, and a black guy who exhibited all the personal and physical traits you desired most in the world, and you turned around and said "Sorry bro, but I gotta get my asian fix! THAT would be bad...but otherwise its a preference...
Thanks, just wanted to be sure I wasn't being prejudiced. I'm black and I've always had a thing for white boys.
I think it's fine to have a preference but I don't see why it would ever be necessary to actually say it, best just to filter out potential partners in this way in your head tbh, to avoid risk of offending. I can see why someone wouldn't like to be turned down because of their 'race' especially if they're a minority.
I don't think its bad. To be honest I'm more attracted to Asian women. I don't have anything against anyone else, it's just a preference.
Personally, I think race is like any other physical feature. Saying one is a deal breaker is kind of messed up, but in the end, people have preferences lol. I mean, it's how they look, and you are attracted to what you're attracted to. You know?
I think it's fine to have preferences, but ultimately it's a dangerous game to focus first on race or color because you might be too narrow in your options. No one is really colorblind (thought some fool themselves into believing that), and it is in human nature to distinguish between "us" and "them". However, it takes society and our upbringing to transform that inherent bias into either something negative or positive. There was a famous 1940 US study on black and white girls who were in racially segregated schools, showing that both sets of girls favored white dolls over black dolls. I'm not saying this is what's happening for modern day people, but it is an example of how society can influence what is considered desirable. Sometimes you just have to train your brain to pay attention to the wide diversity, and beauty, of facial and bodily features that make each person unique. I say all this because as a brown (Indian) guy who grew up in a majority-white area, I am sometimes uncomfortable with the preference I've developed for white men, and I think this probably has to do with the US media often having a white face/body as the standard of beauty. Just do a google images search for "hot guy" or "hot actor", and you'll see that dark-skinned men are still an uncommon sight.
You like what you like but as long as you keep an open mind. When I first started coming out I never thought I had a type, then a friend of mine point out that virtually every women I found attractive had a lot in common. Not just how they look but how they dress and they way they are. BUT...both the women I've dated are completely different to that. Didn't mean I wasn't attracted to them though. Just don't limit yourself and be willing to go with it.
