"Just wondered what you think when you see a profile that states they do not meet people of a certain skin colour and then call it preference???" Probably, but who cares. We aren't quite down the road to where you are forced to fuck blacks to prove you aren't racist. Plenty love shagging ethnically diverse people. I myself adore black,mixed,Asian and East Asian women. Anna dislikes blacks who describe themselves as bbc, even when their dicks tint. She loves blacks who are more than just a racist stereotype. | |||

"If I say I don’t like Asians as a race then that is racism. If I don’t find Asian guys sexually attractive so don’t want to sleep with them that is preference!" | |||

"I don't personally think homosexuality can be compared with racial sexual preferences. In my opinion, homosexuality arises from nature and nurture, yet racial sexual preference is definitely something that arises from social environment. Not wanting to have sex with someone you aren't attracted to isn't racist. But claiming that you are solely not attracted to every humans being who are either black or asian, is ambiguous. Having said that, it doesn't mean that the person will praise hitler either but will be more likely to agree with people who holds misconceptions about the racial type they aren't sexual attracted to. Because this racial sexual preference has to have some roots somewhere. " Ah, of course. These people just need the Guardian to explain why they should embrace mudsharking | |||

"I think it smacks of a lack of imagination. There’s no problem with having a preference, but there is a problem with deciding to exclude all but that preference.. I would hope that most people are in real life open minded enough to feel that there’s something they could find attractive about pretty much anybody. You may surprise yourself.

There’s no point labelling small minded people as racist. They have no insight into their opinions I would imagine that the reasons for these ‘preferences’, and I’ll use the white couples only seeking black guys as an example, is that inherent racism propagates what they see as at best a stereotype, and at worst a taboo. | |||

"No it's not racist perse. It's how that preference is communicated. Starting a sentence; I'm not racist BUT... Will immediately make the reader think the writer is being racist. Using offensive language or being tone deaf in stating your preference can be misconceived as racist or homophobic etc. It's about being considerate, inoffensive yet also making your intentions clear.

I guess in trying to get my point across I’ve tried to make it too black and white " Here's black and white. We all have a type. It may be broader or narrower. What most of us do not have is much time. No one can meet everybody or even write to everybody, so some of us try to narrow the search down. This is done by telling people we will most likely not be attracted to not to waste their own and our time. It works most of the time. Now, of course no one (OK, few people) will like everyone who is the "right" type but that is why we are all different. I have said no to more people who meet my preferences than those who do not - for the obvious reason that the latter usually read profiles and do not bother. | |||

"Not really in my opinion. It's racist to bar people from a job due to their race but sex isn't an equal opportunities pastime. Undoubtedly some people will have racist reasons behind their preferences but for many its a positive choice in favour of a certain race in order to fulfil fantasies." Excellent post. There's another interesting perspective, the negative cultural overtones of (some) white couples/women and (some) black makes who buy into the historic sexual overtones between blacks and whites..in my youth I remember it bring described as the Mandingo complex which is perpetuated in contemporary pornography where interracial sex is reduced to the lowest denominator..'blacked', 'gangsta', 'bbc', 'cuckold', 'nigga' etc etc. In my ham fisted response I guess I'm trying to say that the black male is often depicted as a fetish, disposable or delinquent-not someone you'd like your daughter to bring home and it's a shame if this subconscious view is reflected in general society. On another thread a (black) poster mentioned he'd noticed that on dating sites the overwhelming majority of white females indicate a preference for white males, I've noticed this myself too and of course it's absolutely fine yet my experience in this alt world has been the opposite, where my skin colour is a novelty and I'm not really comfortable with that. PS I've been asked before why I mention my skin colour in my username-it's a simply descriptive reference so people not into black guys can pass me by!. Pps and I'm also big and called Dominic in case anyone was wondering! | |||

"I actually think it is racist , BUT , I don’t think anyone should feel compelled to shag anyone they don’t fancy . The question is why don’t some people fancy those of a different ethnic origin or colour ? The answer is , and this is the crux of it , because they are racist . Simple , end of the thread , no need to thank me for clearing that one up for you all " I am black and don't play with black men. I don't have "issues", love a black man, my husband was black. When it comes to how I play, colour is but one factor: height and weight also feature. It's not that I don't find black men sexually attractive, I do...I just know the type of black man who would play the way I like is riding around on Pegasus corralling his herd of unicorns. Therefore, I don't automatically assume any ism if someone has a sexual preference. | |||

" I don't find (insert race/colour/culture) attractive is, very different to... I don't like someone because they are (insert race/colour/culture). It is, but there's not necessarily zero overlap between the two. We live in a world where stereotypes often inform our perceptions and ideas. It's worth all of us asking ourselves where our preferences come from. " But it doesn't mean there is an overlap either. It's down to the individual in question. That's where it gets confusing isn't it. There will be some very clever racists that know how to word their preferences so as no one would ever suspect and, there will be people with not a racist bone in their bodies that, are clumsy as fuck in their wording and give completely the wrong impression. There is plenty on the internet about what different cultures find attractive in a sexual partner. There are lots of different shades of black (as there are of all colours) and, lots of lighter shades don't find the darker shades attractive and visa versa. Maybe preference is a more subconscious and base instinct with deep roots in the evolutionary side of nature. It makes sense that we would want to mate with the strongest of our own tribe, the person whose features are the best representative of what our own culture finds attractive. I believe that some people's preferences are based on ignorance and racial prejudice. Others probably couldn't explain why but, they just don't find a specific culture or their traits attractive... that's not racist! I am lucky in some respects, I can hide my cultural background behind my white skin and English accent but there are plenty of people out there that hate the Irish because they are Irish and, Germans, because they are German. Usually the same people that don't like black people because they are black??? I've been on the recieving end of racism, friends that couldn't invite me to their house after school because their parents didn't like Germans or Irish. Name calling in the playground! I hate racism but, if someone purely states as a sexual preference, that they don't find a certain cultural trait attractive and, have given me no other reason to think they're a racist I'll let them have that preference. There are plenty of people, me included, that find other people from other cultural backgrounds very attractive. Be true to yourself in what you prefer but don't be offensive in the way you convey it. | |||

"I don't personally think homosexuality can be compared with racial sexual preferences. In my opinion, homosexuality arises from nature and nurture, yet racial sexual preference is definitely something that arises from social environment. Not wanting to have sex with someone you aren't attracted to isn't racist. But claiming that you are solely not attracted to every humans being who are either black or asian, is ambiguous. Having said that, it doesn't mean that the person will praise hitler either but will be more likely to agree with people who holds misconceptions about the racial type they aren't sexual attracted to. Because this racial sexual preference has to have some roots somewhere. Yep...this Personally for us as soon as we see this on a profile we pass them by. They may not see it as racist and maybe it isn't but it's off putting to us that someone can say for certain they won't be sexually attracted to a whole group of people purely because of race. We wouldn't take the risk that we were meeting those that held racist opinions. " | |||

"This tread is a great example of whataboutism" . Actually, that’s the first reply. Totally misses the point. . Your man FabulousAndBearded nailed this topic in his first post up there, by the way. . It’s worth noting that the experts disagree, so we’re not likely to find an answer on this page. However, the general consensus is that racial sexual preference and racial fetishisation are fundamentally racist. That’s not to say that someone who says they aren’t attracted to black people would necessarily be prejudiced against black people outside of the bedroom (although that is a Venn diagram with a significant crossover) but that your sexual preferences are a product of social conditioning. Which is pretty much what FabulousAndBearded said. . And before anyone says, “But the media just sells what people find attractive,” go away and learn about feedback loops. Look at how so many young women have become amplified versions of the men’s mag photoshops of years past, and how that’s massively altered what young men find attractive. . If anyone is interested in this topic, it’s worth reading about the fetishisation of East and South East Asian women, and the reverse of that in the East, particularly Japan, where models are increasingly western-looking. | |||

"I think it smacks of a lack of imagination. There’s no problem with having a preference, but there is a problem with deciding to exclude all but that preference.. I would hope that most people are in real life open minded enough to feel that there’s something they could find attractive about pretty much anybody. You may surprise yourself. You may hope that , but in reality it’s simply not the case . There are loads of profiles on here stating whites only , no Asians , no blacks etc..... but don’t worry , it’s not a racist thing Because they have 'black, asian, arabic... Friends. Oh of course that old chestnut . So this being the case , their ‘friends’ will be aware that they are only ‘friends’ to a certain degree . The thought of sleeping with them would be repulsive , but of course they know this , and yet they are still ‘friends’ ........ " I'm sure there are friends of mine who aren't attracted to fat women but they're still my friends - why would I want to ditch them because they don't find me physically attractive?

"No. Simples. They have their reasons and you'd be wasting your energy finding out why or trying to change their opinion. This is for fun, not work and there's enough people in this crazy world to meet. " . Your qualification doesn’t support your answer. Your post would make as much sense if you changed the first word to ‘yes’. . I don’t think that exploring a controversial topic is a waste of energy. You found the time and energy to post a response. It wouldn’t take too much more time to do the same and have something to say. . "If its because you dont find a race visually stimulating then its not racism" . The only problem with this response (and similar responses like it earlier in the thread) is that it uses a definition of racism narrow enough to suit people feeling better about their subconscious decisions. “I don’t think I’m racist, therefore this thing I do isn’t racist,” is a flawed argument; it’s circular reasoning. | |||

"Just wondered what you think when you see a profile that states they do not meet people of a certain skin colour and then call it preference???" It is not racist if a group of people say red heads (I am a red head really) does not turn them on. I do not like hairy guys so am I being hairiest (sic)? | |||

"I don't personally think homosexuality can be compared with racial sexual preferences. In my opinion, homosexuality arises from nature and nurture, yet racial sexual preference is definitely something that arises from social environment. Not wanting to have sex with someone you aren't attracted to isn't racist. But claiming that you are solely not attracted to every humans being who are either black or asian, is ambiguous. Having said that, it doesn't mean that the person will praise hitler either but will be more likely to agree with people who holds misconceptions about the racial type they aren't sexual attracted to. Because this racial sexual preference has to have some roots somewhere. " Got to disagree with this I'm afraid. People of certain ethnicities and races have different features and to not be attracted to them in general can be purely down to a person not finding their features appealing. I myself very VERY rarely find a black man attractive, black women I'm more likely to be attracted to. I'm just not into the big facial features I find that they have. That in no way makes me racist, it's just what turns me on and off. Same as a straight man is turned off by a penis. It's definitely a preference although a lot of those preferences will come from racist views for a lot of individuals, it doesn't mean it always does and it certainly doesn't mean the rest of us have to sleep with others outside our preferences to prove a point. | |||

"We’ve had this debate so many times, but for me, having ‘No Blacks’ or ‘No Asians’ on your profile just makes you look insensitive & narrow minded. It’s okay to have preferences, we all do, but why discount a whole group of people. " Because you are not attracted to any of that group of people or are attracted to so few it makes it unfeasible to answer their messages!!!! | |||

The penis thing and the skin colour thing are not, in any way, the same. 2. As I already explained, “I don’t think I’m racist, therefore this thing I do isn’t racist,” is a flawed argument. Now, I’m not saying that you’re overtly racist, or that you would consciously discriminate or treat people as though they are inferior (although, you are discriminating and describing people as though they are inferior) but to say, “it’s just a preference,” is to fundamentally misunderstand what you’re saying. | |||

"I don't have a choice about being a wheelchair user, but apparently it's fine for some men to not find me attractive because of it. It's the reasons behind the preference that are the point. I haven't seen one POC that I find sexually attractive, even Idris Elba. It's not because I think they're less in any way, I just don't feel attracted. That's not to say I would always feel that way and of course it's possible that a MOC could come along that Id want to fuck his brains out. But in 47 years it hasn't happened so it's unlikely. Why waste their time?" There you go. Me and white, Asian and Middle Eastern guys. The story of my life. Same story. One comes along once every 10 years or never. Why give so many people false hopes? Idris Elba though... Well, I will take him off your hands if he ever writes. | |||

"No it's not racist perse. It's how that preference is communicated. Starting a sentence; I'm not racist BUT... Will immediately make the reader think the writer is being racist. Using offensive language or being tone deaf in stating your preference can be misconceived as racist or homophobic etc. It's about being considerate, inoffensive yet also making your intentions clear. I'm not interested in men, that's my sexual preference doesn't make me sexist. However if I said: If your a male I'm not touching you with a ten foot barge pole because you disgust me. Then that would be offensive and unfair. I think it's simple, state your opinion in a simple, clear but benign way and no one will ever have the need to call you racist. I suspect that there are people who wouldn't want to meet with me, as I'm a larger girl, have tattoos and piercings as well as super short bleached hair. As long as no one is nasty about I'd understand if they didn't want to see me. See I get that , but when a coloured person suspects that there are people who don’t want to meet them and the only reason is the colour if their skin , then how is that not racist ? You being larger , having piercings , having very short bleached har , having tattoos are all choices you have made to alter yourself . You live with the consequences of the choices you’ve made . Coloured people have no choice to be the colour they are .... see the difference ? If you are looking for women only , that’s a choice you have made in your search for what’s going to satiate your desires . It’s not sexist as you’re not looking for men , any more than a lesbian isn’t going to look for a man . If one are only looking for white men or women , well that’s the racism card again . Why only white men or women ? Look deeper and ask why no coloured men or women are attractive to you . I can’t help but think there has to be a racist overtone to the very thought that one only wants to meet whites ( or blacks but that tends to be a kink ) . I’m not having a dig at all to you personally here , but your post brings good reference points . " "Coloured" LOL | |||

Women apparently get 40+ a day, so eliminating whole groups is a necessary coping strategy. Therefore any argument of any ism based on a fab profile is flawed. | |||

"If, as general rule, you don't find a particular race or cultures physical characteristics sexually attractive but are open minded to the fact that, one day you might come across someone from that race or culture that you find yourself attracted to... that's a preference. I prefer apples to oranges but, every now and again, I have myself an orange! To have a complete blanket ban against a certain race or culture is an exclusion not a preference! It is a form of racism when it becomes a blanket ban but, if this form of racism is only ever prevalant with regards to choice of sexual partners ie, they are happy to share every other aspect of life with that racial or cultural group then, we have to tolerate that choice! If a person's body is their temple, they get the final say as to who gets to worship there! It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, you will probably never change their mind. If it is only a sexual choice, it's a choice everyone else has to tolerate and they shouldn't be harassed over it. It would be nice if we all got on and liked one another but the truth is we don't. It's the people that won't break bread with you because of your race or culture that I worry more about." I am allergic to strawberries. I never have strawberries. | |||

"Some of you should really go an do your homework an read up on sexual attraction! It’s nothing to do with how you was raised. And it’s nothing to do with racism! It’s who you are. There is only 10% of people who are attracted to any race most have a inbuilt preference. I don’t see why we need so many threads on this topic. " . I don’t know why we need so many threads. It’s maybe because people who demonstrate in what they write that they have never read or understood a word about social conditioning or psychology in their lives come in and tell those of us who have that we ‘need to do our homework’. | |||
