Is it racist that i love paler skinned women

18 Comments

I had a argument with one of my brothers who thinks I'm a sellout because I find paler women very attractive. He says that I'm a puppet of a caste system that has infected the world were darker skin people are looked down on while fair skin people are looked at as better. Am I doing this because I don't care so long as the person I'm with is a woman and has a good personality it's just that I find paler women to be very very beautiful. I do feel kind of bad though is he right am I being manpulated into following social constructs?

    Whenever a question starts with "Is it racist that..?" the correct answer is "Who cares?"

    Dude your brother's a retard. People can't help what they're sexually attracted to. It's clear that you even kind of think that what you're attracted to is "wrong," so if you were to follow any social construct then it would be the one saying what you're attracted to is wrong. Your brother sounds like he'd be the same kind of person telling you that being gay was wrong if it were 50 years ago.

    Your "brother" is a racist. Skin color means nothing. Get passed the skin and we are all red. Scratch me I bleed red. I scratch you, you bleed red. We are all the same.

    Your brother is the only brainwashed one. If you don't believe me, just ask him about this "system" and he will reveal you an entire conspiracy shit, while all you do is to have a preference for girls.

    We generally can’t help who we are attracted to. Your attraction doesn’t effect him so he should have no say. More and more society cares less about your skin color and more about your actions. As it should be.

    I always want to comment this whenever I see this topic (which is almost every day) so here's a youtube video that I believe encapsulates my opinion on this, and he says it a lot better than I probably would: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TDTBQfNars

    Spoiler: No you're not racist, but we should consider why so many people on a mass scale share this exact opinion.

    If you don't totally despise black people due to being black, then you're not racist. You have a preference, which is fine.

      I'm half black so I doubt it would be me hating black people because that would be hating myself.

        You'd be surprised how many people do though.

    I'm an Asian, but I prefer white women over Asian or black.

    it's not racist but it is subconsciously influenced by social constructs

      You don't know that at all. The most likely situation is that he's just naturally sexually attracted to lighter skin. Are they gays gay because they're influenced by "social constructs"?
