Is it racist for me to usually only be attracted to one race?

Is it somehow racist if someone prefers blondes over brunettes or vice verse? Are white women who like black men racist?
No
Having a preference is far different than feeling your race is superior to another.

Was he hitting on you when this whole conversation went down? I feel like this guy's trying to guilt trip you into agreeing with him. It's not his or anyone else's business what race you're attracted to and you're not obliged to justify you're preferences to him. You don't owe him any explanation.

There's a whole media band wagon that people are jumping onto about being sexually racist now. It's garbage like most of the ideas that get promoted in the media and it doesn't make sense. People get their sexual preferences through stimuli that they unconsciously take in throughout their lifetime.

I can't talk much from personal experience because I do live in a city which is quite diverse and my dating history reflects that, but I'll elaborate on my take:

Preferring to date a certain race over another is like preferring brown eyed people over blue eyed ones. It's not 100% rational, which is probably why you were accused of being racist. That and you are limiting your prospects.

That said, don't try to force attraction. If you aren't feeling it, you aren't feeling it.

You're not racist. I don't find African American or Hispanic men sexually attractive and have been called racist for it in the past. The way I see it, it's like a person who prefers someone who's skinny or prefers a tall person. One can't help what they find attractive. These dumb bandwagons of "if you don't date someone who's fat, short, has a kid, is a certain race, or any other feature" is just ridiculous already. Like what you like and don't worry about what your friend is spouting. He's not really much of a friend if he's accusing you of something you're not anyway.

If I am white but I prefer Latinos, am I being racist to white people? The whole thing is dumb. We can't really help who we are attracted to. We all have preferences. Even if I'm mainly attracted to a certain race, there are exceptions to the rule.

I wouldn't turn a guy down just because of his race. It's likely there is a different characteristic I don't like about him or I'm already taken, but he doesn't want to admit that, so he blames it on race.

I think you're fine. When I think of racism I usually think of improper/unfair treatment. All you have is a preference.

By the definition of racist he is technically correct I guess. Racist is defined as a person that believes one race is superior to other races. Hate is not required. If you believe that one race is more attractive than all the other races, that is a type of superiority. But in practice, most people associate a racist as a person who has hate toward another race, and for that reason I don't personally consider you a racist.

I will say though that most people who prefer blondes to brunettes will have the occasional brunette catch their eye. So if you have have never been attracted to even one person of a particular race, I would find that a little odd. I know that is not what you said, so not saying that is the case, just saying.

Yes you are a racist and you should be ashamed of yourself. Then you should bear my children. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Not at all. It is simply a preference. You are not a racist Ms. Autumn :D

I don't think that that is at all racist.
In the first place, you are promoting a positive (you LIKE a particular race), without denigrating any other.
In the second, I'm not sure we have a lot of control over who we are attracted to, so it isn't like you've made a conscious choice to not find other races attractive.
Relax, you are not a racist, on this point.

No. It's just a personal preference.

It's not racist; it's natural.

Now allow me to take a wild shot in the dark and ask you: He was Black, wasn't he?

Autumn, that is a pretty HOT name!

Assuming your a chick, your into chicks???? That is SO HOT!!!

I think, for the most part, races should stick together. That is not racist, I think, it is just what you are used to. Plus, socially, it is much easier.

Maybe today it isn't as tough to be a mix-race couple, but, there are STILL places you go, it is taboo, and will effect your children. THAT is who you got to think about before you get married. What is life gonna be like for them?

Now, I am all for hot broads outside my race...and, could even consider it long term, but, thus far, I have YET to meet a hot one.

It depends on how you see the other races.

I only like one race too - Human

I think the only person who can answer that question is you. There are white people who only date white people because they don't believe in mixing of the races or they're a racist. You only date white guys because that's your preference. Does that make you a racist? Not necessarily but it could. Both of you are only dating one race of people.

Maybe you don't mean to be a racist but you might be. What do you first think when you see a guy who happens to be non white. Do you bother to talk them have you ever felt any attraction to anyone else who wasn't white?

I've dated white, black and latino. No asians not that wouldn't I just never ran across one who was interested in me at the same time I was interested in them. People who cut themselves off and limit themselves to one race IMO are really missing out on meeting some great people. Life is short don't limit yourself. I mean if your only attracted to white guys then so be it.

Some could argue that it could be racist, but it's really your choice who you date and don't date.

It's normal. Your preferences are simply that - a preference.
It might be because as you say you are surrounded by white people.

There was a time I was not attracted to Asian women at all (I am now though since travelling a lot). In hindsight it was because I didn't know any Asian women or had not met any I liked. In hindsight I can admit I had a kind of unconscious racism going on although I would have denied it at the time.

Not racist don't feel bad.

See this is the problem today, this stupid politically correct bullshit where you can't even have a fucking preference anymore.

And no OP, you aren't racist, he's making you feel guilty for having a personal opinion/preference, that's not being racist.
