[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;42951937]Sigma, I'm usually pretty darn open about calling out backwards, racist when I see it, but you're bein' a bit silly here. Calling somebody a racist for being more physically attracted to one race over another is [I]really[/I] stretching it. I generally prefer blondes and redheads over dark haired girls, but that doesn't mean I've got any beef with brunettes.[/QUOTE]
Because it makes you uncomfortable it doesn't mean it isn't what it is.
It's a form of racism.
[QUOTE=Electrocuter;42951961]I don't think China would like that and would probably bribe back.
:v:[/QUOTE]
Now you know why it's Asian, and not Japanese
:v:
I feel sorry for those black women. Maybe I'll go and try to date one to fight the system.
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;42951046]Who you are attracted to is a product of social conditioning though; the media (commercials, movies, tv shows, etc) generally uphold specific standards of beauty and these standards of beauty can be pretty goddamn racist.
Also you totally can change the state of "not being attracted to X race" by consciously rejecting those standards of beauty which have been conditioned into you by society. It totally is something you have control over.
I mean FP generally seems willing to buy that being attracted to Anorexic models is not a good thing, this is the same as that...[/QUOTE]
so if I'm getting you straight
you can choose what you're attracted to
so you can choose to be gay
so all those times you've defended homosexuality as not a choice are now bullshit because straight people can choose their attractions?

That's not what he's saying at all.
[QUOTE=xianlee;42951037]I'm not into anime at all but I would pick an asian women over white.
For me its probably
Asian > Latino > Black > White..
I agree, its the 'exotic' vibe for me.[/QUOTE]
So of the same for me except that:
Asian = White > Latino > Black.
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;42951960]I'm not calling any individuals racist I'm saying "racial preferences" are a product of media racism[/QUOTE]
The sheer amount of conspiracy bullshit you're pushing is too much for this thread.
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;42952036]That's not what he's saying at all.[/QUOTE]
I know, but it's ridiculous all the same to insist that people are able to say and in a serious way control their physical attractions to the people they are attracted to.
calling it systematic racism may be right because we are raised that way, but acting like people won't have innate attractions that are personal to them is kind of weird and wrong
Big news:
People look different!
Of course you are going to be attracted to different looking people over others, and race certainly affects looks. It has nothing to do with racism, it has to do with tastes.
i mean i don't think asian women or english women or middle eastern women are hot.
individual women from any part of the world can be attrative, i won't group them like that
[QUOTE=Klammyxxl;42951365]i don't think he's calling you racist. race is a social construct, it really doesn't serve any purpose opposed to separation. you see all the skin care and shampoo commercials. nine times out of ten, the luscious naked women showering is Caucasian. nine times out of ten, the lead female role is Caucasian. nine times out of ten, the pornstar you're (or, at least, i am) watching is Caucasian. this really has nothing to you being racist. it has to do with what society deems 'attractive'. at least, i think that's the point he's trying to make.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE] race is a social construct[/QUOTE]
Yeah it's society that tells some people to be white, and others black.
[QUOTE]you see all the skin care and shampoo commercials. nine times out of ten, the luscious naked women showering is Caucasian.[/QUOTE]
They tend to be black or white, with a good mix. Rarely asian nor latino here.
[QUOTE]nine times out of ten, the lead female role is Caucasian[/QUOTE]
Depends completely on what type of movies you're watching. American movies have more white people. Mexican movies have more latinos, asian movies have more asians etc.
[QUOTE]nine times out of ten, the pornstar you're (or, at least, i am) watching is Caucasian[/QUOTE]
So because you fap to white chicks that means everybody else is racist? Nope, the roundest butt wins my eyes.
I'm attracted to nothing, what would that make me in the eyes of a typical Tumblr social justice blogger who doesn't know what racism really means?
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;42950965]You mean studies show that shit is still super racist? I'm taken aback.[/QUOTE]
Asians were treated on the same level as African Americans up to about the 80's, and in some parts of the United States they are still refereed to as "gooks"
I fail to follow your argument.

asexual? they probably wouldn't have any input on that or think you're super cool idfk
I like black girls

Asexual.

Don't you mean you were taking [I]ablack[/I]?
I will show myself out.

Eeeyup. What I meant is if the typical Tumblr social justice blogger thinks you're a racist if you don't find X race attractive, then what would the social justice blogger think about asexuals?
Would I be a sociopath who hates everything?

No, you're a white male using your privilege to deny women sex because it makes you feel like you have power over them.
What's a "tumblr social justice blogger"? Are they an invented enemy like the USSRs kulaks in that they are supposed to hold a disproportionate amount of influence and power over everything when in actual fact they hold neither?
I like Asian people, but I can't stand Asian women... Don't know why. My brother and father are both married to Chinese women and while they're nice, I just can't make a connection with them. Not a language barrier thing either, I don't really know.
I love Latin women though, but truth be told I probably couldn't handle a Latin girl haha

The type of people who say its sexist to hold a door open for women. The type of people who use the word "fat-shaming." They spend all their time blogging about social justice issues that don't really exist
I'd wager it's because of the stereotype that asian women are real domestic and shit. I don't seem to gather that, if I had to generalise.

I dunno, I tend to like Arab or Persian women over anything else. Go figure that one out.

People think that's sexist? Here people think people that don't do so are without honor and self respect.

Chivalry is sexism. It's just preferential sexism and polite treatment that is beneficial in most peoples cases.
Holding a door open for a woman because she's a woman is at it's heart, a decision about an action based on their perceived gender. that's sexism, no?
And no I'm not saying people shouldn't do it, it's polite and friendly.

You must remember that for some people it's such a basic part of their culture -- in some, it's almost reflex.

No in their eyes asexuals are special snowflakes
I don't know about you guys, but I generally hold the door open for anyone.
Also physical preference doesn't make you racist. I find black people physically unattractive, it doesn't mean I hate them. It's the same as how I find obese people unattractive.
[B]Wow[/B] this thread spiraled out of control fast.
We file racial preferences based on character under racism, but in the society we have on earth today, [I]it is in fact socially acceptable to be more physically attracted to one person over another[/I]. Novel concept right?!
