To suggest that all Asian guys are 'intellectual' is a stereotype. For the record, one of my best friends was a Vietnamese girl named Thao and a Malay girl named Singpeth, both of whom were on the debate team - so I love intellectual people.

No, only if you hate them as friends, coworkers or in general, then you're a racist.

You can't help who you're physically or emotionally attracted to. It's just part of who you are.

I think there are stereotypical themes within every human, so yes, I believe that there is an aspect to your personality that one might say is racist. The reason that I say this is not to condemn you, however; if you say you avoid dating asians "completely" then that is racist. I'm sure there would be an asian man out there that you would find attractive, if this were not the case. I, myself, am attracted to asians, BUT just like every other ethnicity, there are those asians I do not find attractive...AND...there are those blacks, whites, latins, middle-eastern, etc. men that I DO find attractive. I do have a preference, but I do not believe that it is completely based on ethnicity.

Everyone is attracted to someone different, based on your parents, your childhood, and even teen experiences. It all shapes your interests and passions for sexual partners, as well as many other things. Many people actually base their very idea of love from that given to them by their mother, and sometimes father. These thoughts and feelings have shaped you and can be recognized, but not so easily overcome. Just ask homosexuals if they can change. It's best not to beat yourself up about your choices, instead embrace them and go ahead and make yourself happy by pursuing what you want. Just don't forget to love yourself before you try to love someone else, or at least do a little introspection.

No, you're not it just means that kind of body/skintype, general look - doesn't appeal to you. Anymore than I don't particularly like Goths or 'butch' lesbians - that doesn't make me sexist or 'groupist' Just a case of I know what I like, just as I'm sure they do! However if you're opinion was based purely on the fact they were Asian without even looking at them then maybe that would be racist, as you are basing your dislike on ignorance and assumptive bigotry.

I'm not attracted to asian guys either, but it's probably because I'm a straight guy who's racist. Just funnin with ya. Don't over think it. To many people worry to much about being labled a racist. You like what you like. It's that simple

No.You're not racist.Sexual attraction is often based on what you know and like.If you don't like Asians sexually that doesn't mean you have an irrational hate for Asians and that is what racism is.An irrational hate of another person based on ethnicity.

Of course not. Although it's quite possible you haven't met the right Asian.

I used to think I could never be turned on by black men just because, but I lost my virginity to a black guy.

No, absolutely not.

I'm sure there's some Asians who wouldn't think that you were their type either. Its cultural, hormonal, whatever drives your idea of attractiveness.

Its when you think of them as anything but human is where you cross the line.

Your honesty is a far greater virtue than it would be to date what you are not attracted to just to prove that you're not "racist." Am I racist if I don't produce bi-racial children? Am I homophobic if I don't date other women?

Do you see a line of Asian guys wanting you?
