I find Brazilians and Italians very attractive.
I find Aboriginal and Singaporeans totally repulsive.
Quite clearly the majority of human beings must agree with the above. Fact is Fact. Brazilians and Italians are much more asthentically pleasing to the eye than Abo's and Singaporeans?

Wow, I thought you might get a bunch of really awful responses but you managed to ask the right people! :-) I agree with most of the answers, everyone has a personal preference - some are common and others are not. Tons of people say they love blue eyes or dark skin or blond hair or whatever, that does not make them racists. If you said, all Aboriginies should be killed, that might be a problem! LoL
Have you ever noticed how many bi-racial couples there are in the U.S.? Obviously, some whites are attracted to blacks and vice versa, and Mexican and Asian and so on and so on. I am a Christian and I have never found a reason why people should not marry interracially, so I find no sin in the matter.
By the way, saying "fact is fact" is not necessarily applicable to your statement. As most people pointed out to you, it is your opinion. Yes, many may agree, but that just makes it a COMMON opinion.
Have a great day! :-)

Not really, brazilians and italians aren't a race, neither are singaporeans. I'm not sure about the aboriginal being a race but I think maybe not. Your picky, not racist. I think the only races are black, white, asian, middle eastern, native american, hispanic and south pacific islands. (there may be more, but brazilians and italians are not some of them) Note: You don't say Canadians, or Americans, or mexicans, or whatevercountyians are a race, they're just people from that country.

Well, I don't want to start a battle or anything, but...
Yeah, those statements are all a matter of "opinion" and not fact-- beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Quite obviously, not EVERYONE agrees with you, otherwise the world would only consist of Brazilians and Italians... you are attracted to who you are attracted to, there's no real way to alter your own opinions about that stuff. But to say that those of
Aboriginal or Singaporean descent are "repulsive" is going way the heck out on a limb where most won't follow...

I don't think that it would be racist. But there will always be the people that will take it racially. just don't say it to the wrong person. But I don't really think that every one agrees with Brazilians and Italians are always the most attractive.

Not racist, your just "categorizing" certain looks. Which I think falls along the line of prejudism....but not necessarily in a bad way. I'm sure there is another word to describe it cause prejudist is more of a negative term, but is close

If you are naturally attracted to a certain race, this doesn't make you a racist. I am not going to force myself to date a Pygmy just because it would be racist to not give them a chance. If I am not attracted, I am not attracted, that is just the way it is.

I would like to thank you for calling me attractive but the statement wasn't really racist because there wasn't really a negative stereotype or anything but yes it was offensive seeing as how there are many people who look like the people you just described that aren't the people you just described....so yeah its kind of racist and it makes you sound kind of dumb

Actually, most Norwegians would disagree with you. They usually prefer blondes.
It's not racist of you to say you have a preference.
It is racist of you say that everyone must agree with your preference...Saying that it is "fact" makes it racist.
