Not racist, but discriminatory -- but being discriminatory is not inherently a bad thing...
Imagine if a business couldn't be discriminatory, and had to seriously consider ANY applicant for a job, regardless of whether the applicant's qualified....
Imagine if you couldn't discriminate as to what you wanted to eat, and were FORCED to try every restaurant in the neighborhood, regardless of whether you liked what they serve...
Imagine if you weren't allowed to be a discriminating homebuyer, and your new residence was chosen by lottery and you would be FORCED to pay whatever the landlord demanded....

The term racist is an ignorant term. We are all members of the Human Race.
They are being somewhat biased in their dating selection, but no more so than people who prefer blondes over brunettes or short people over tall people. Skin color is just another variation controlled by a single gene.
They may also have cultural preferences, there are many different cultures that are very different from each other. It may be harder to adapt to certain cultures for some people.

No, I don't think so. I think racism is a broader mindset that includes the holding--as well as dissemination of--negative feelings toward races. If you are attracted to one ethnicity and want to propogate within it, that is a personal choice. If the reasons are different, perhaps that is something you should look further at. I think racism involves a lot of negativity, if that is any part of your decision, then there could be an element of it there.

I personally believe if you put physical limitations to love relationships that it is somehow tampering with the spiritual realm...however some people are not on such a hardcore path to spiritual enlightenment and want a safe and self-tailored world so they choose things by the physical to keep up their comfort. Too much comfort spoils the person....so anyways I don't think that you are racist but maybe a little naive that is all,...try and open the lid of your box and you will find such wonders exist,....be fearless.

It is not racist to stay within your own ethnicity. It IS freedom of choice. Some families are raised to believe that you must stay within your own ethnicity. Other people say it is in the bible that way.

No, not really. People say nothing when someone says they only date skinny woman or fat men or people with red hair or blue eyes or Asian women, or when a black man or woman says they only want to date black men or women. If your reasons for only dating one race is that you find them attractive, it's OK. but if your reasons for NOT dating any other race is that you find them all inferior mentally, physically, etc., then we're talking racist. if you don't date other races because you find them all inferior, you might be considered racist.
But limiting yourself like that does keep you from experiencing new things. Do you only have friends of one race or only go to places where there is one race?

No, you date who you are attracted to. You may be racist if you have a problem with others dating outside of their races but, even then, you may have different reasons for feeling that way.

No. Everyone has different tastes and why should anyone be told who they can or cannot date? It's just about the one area of life in which we still have a choice.

No, because the only you marry isn't your enemy. i do not imagine that white individuals are an enemy to my race because the only's who're I regularly do not dangle with me or examine with me. particular there are white those who hate me via color of my epidermis yet I doubt they're waiting in line to marry or date me. some white human beings have performed undesirable issues to human beings of diverse races and nevertheless do yet there are good white those who favor no longer some thing yet love and recognize for anybody.

They are being safe and normal and safe among those like them with which they feel comfortable. And the wrong with that is?
