Is it bad thing to say my preference of race?

Question

I'm 21 French gay man and I do like Asian men. But when someone say they like White men, I feel strange. It's like they like not the person but the race? When someone say they like all colour of men or something like that, I agree. But I do like Asian men lol

Is it bad thing to say my preference of race?

Do you consider me as superficial when I say I like Asian men?

Answer 1

It's not a bad thing at all and I don't think you are superficial. You know what you want, so go for it.

Answer 2

No, I do not think that you are superficial. Hell, in the gay society the competition is worst than being in a straight relationship. I my self like asian men, infact, my bofriend is Indonesian, the one thing that I like about him is that he is superbly attentive and not only that, he listens and takes care of me and treats me better than anyone I have ever dated.
I guess because he is asian that he is super super nice. I wish there were more people like you, my best friend "needs" to get a boyfriend and he is asian and a virgin.
Hahaha, I think I just sold him out. He'll get a man eventually. Hahaha.
Don't worry, you're not superficial or racist, like I say people have their prefference, some of my friends like to date only white guys, and some of them prefer latino guys. So, have fun with whom ever you want, just be safe.

Answer 3

No, you are more attracted to Asian men but look at people as people not a race for future reference. If you let it consume you, you could miss out on love or at least a good relationship. An open mind helps in conveying who you really are.

Answer 4

Not at all. Like you said, you like Asian men. I am a black man and I like white men. It's okay. Just respect everyone the way you want to be respected and everything is kosher.

Answer 5

I don't think it's a bad thing, really. I think it's wrong if you have racist and prejudiced reasons behind it, but if you honestly just prefer caucasian or african-american or whatever, I don't see any reason that it would be bad to voice your preference in a sort of situation that brings it up. Most dating sites have boxes you can check indicating which race you'd prefer, if you feel the desire to screen in that manner.

Answer 6

We all have our preferences, I see no reason to hide yours. For me it only becomes a problem when a person starts degrading a entire race of people. Simply indicating who you are most frequently attracted to is normal. Of course, since my preference is also Asian fellas I might just be siding with you because of our shared interests :)

Answer 7

nope, when you are making personal ads, it is fair to all to state preferences...done all the time. We all have preferences, why waste anyone's time if they don't fit the bill..the same with body type, etc. Lay it on the line. No one considers it racist if a white guy says "interested only in African-Americans". It is just an honest statement.

Answer 8

There is nothing wrong in liking who you like. I am white and my preference is black, latino or blatino men. I rarely find (although not ever) men of the same ethnicity as my self or men other than black, latino or blatino, attractive.

Answer 9

That's your right and your preference. Some people prefer Coke over Pepsi. You just preference is part of who you are. It doesn't make someone a racists because they are attracted to one race over another one.

Answer 10

Not at all that's completely you're choice and it's not superficial to prefer asians.
