I wouldn't think so, some people like green eyes or red hair or blond hair...I wouldn't read that much into it...
If you said you will only date people with blue and brown,green,grey eyed people are bad...I might analyze that behavior a little more closely

It really depends. If you prefer blue eyes because you simply like it then it is not racist. What makes it racist is when you decide on something based on unproven or general idea. Like blue eyed people are more intelligent than brown eyed people or blonds are dumb. That is a racist comment.

You can't be a racist because you have a preference. We all prefer to be with those that are of a like mind, creed, race. That doesn't mean we can't live with, be friends with, work with or interact with those of other creeds or races.
However, you would be a racist if you wanted to exclude from the community or do members of that group harm, just be cause someone was of that race.

Like lesliejay said, of course not. Having any preference isn't racist- I can say that I like white people much more than black people and not be racist. It's when I stop treating people like people- when I start saying that characteristics or value come from their skin color (when that's obviously not true) that I become racist. You can like white skin or black skin or anything else, and yes, you can like blue eyes. Just don't try to say that blue-eyed people are better than anyone else, or that it shows that they are God's chosen people, or pure, or more innocent, smarter, stupider, whatever-er than anyone else, because it's just color, not an indicator of anything else.

no, blue eyes is what you like. You did not say ,"I hate anybody that do not have blue eyes", (which is more of a racist), you mentioned, " I prefer blue eyes".

No, of course not. You like what you like. Don't be silly. It is not even "racist" to say you prefer the looks of one race to another. Good grief, people are still allowed to have natural preferences.

No, but as I say this I wouldn't be surprised to hear some uppity lefty have a hissy fit that you aren't "inclusive" enough in your eye preference.

no, because you are talking about eye color not skin color. you just prefer blue eyed people. as long as you are not saying anything negative about other people who don't have blue eyes.

Obviously not...it is just a matter of preference.
