not really, but be advised true love is not determined by pigmentation.
-
I think that makes you pretty closed off to other possibilities.
-
Seems rather ignorant to me.
-
In my opinion nope. a I know someone people who date outside the race who still have racist ways not the ultimate determing factor for who's racist and who's not
-
Yes, yes it does.
-
No, that doesn't make you racist. Don't be surprised if people think you are, however.
-
Possibly. It depends WHY you won't date people from other "races". You make it sound like a conscious decision you made, in which case I think it would make you somewhat racist, as opposed to simply not feeling attracted to people of some particular race, which is generally not something we can choose.
-
No. It might make you a little set in your ways and somewhat closed minded. Your decision not to date people of other races is not much different than one choosing not to date redheads. Silly, but your preference. If you attached racist reasons to your choice not to date people of other races, that would make you racist.
-
It depends why you have decided to not date people from other races. It is really your choice who you decide to date. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
-
I can understand it in the sense that some people are only atttracted to redheads or something. But I found myself going through stages where I wasn't that into asian girls, and then all of sudden they were the only thing i was into. If depends if you have racist reasons for it, and never say in public that is why you won't date a person. Say you aren't attracted if you need to say anything.
-
It's fine to have a 'preference' in terms of your partners' race/ethnicity...but if you're saying that you won't even consider dating anyone of any other race, regardless of the kind of person they are, or even if they have the exact qualities that you would find attractive in someone of the same race - that does seem to be beyond mere preference.
-
No,it doesn't make you a racist,it just means that you are not very open-minded to think that all one race is the same,and every person in it has the same to offer you.You're soul mate could another race,and you'd never know,because you're too focused on the outside.Now,this may make you a shallow person,but I don't think that "Racest" would be the propper term,since you desciminate upon race with knowing the induvidual.Wait,come to think it,it is.Hmm.*+++++*
-
I cannot say it does or it doesn't, since you have not offer an argument or the reason why you don't date them. No one knows you better than yourself, so it is you the only one who can actually answer your own question. I have never dated outside my race, but not because I have any racist issues--I'm very clear about that. It's just that I never saw dating outside my race as an issue of any particular relevance in my life. For the same reason It has never occurred to me to say, or even to think, "I won't date outside my race".
-
It doesn't make you racist, but you could be missing out on great people that you could really get along with.
-
No... and if people attack you for being a racist because of that, let it roll off. Seems like everyone gets called a racist now and again, and it hurts, and I believe being called a racist based on your race is a racist remark. However if you legitimately harbor hate for people because of that than you are a racist. I think most people don't date other races more of just a cultural difference. I think sometimes it's tough to be compatible with that. Some people get along fine though, I prefer certain races, but wouldn't object to someone I really like just because of their race.
-
Would you object to dating someone who's perfect (ie everything you ever looked for in someone you were dating) but a different race? If no, then you just prefer people of your own race and there's nothing wrong with that. If yes, then, yes, you are, but not hate crime levels, more like my grandpa doesn't quite understand the other races type of racist, not really racist, more narrow minded.
-
Yes,plain and simple.
-
I don't each spinach. You don't date people from other races. Some would say that you are correct and would quote the Bible where it says to be equally yoked. I am white and married a black woman. I have never been happier. If you want a mate who has certain attributes, then go for it. Beauty is only skin deep and you want that skin to be a certain color. That is your preference. I prefer women who are shapely and take care of themselves. I prefer women who dress and make themselves up. It is just my preference. Now, if you go around calling other people of other races names, then you are a racist. If you deny people of other races common courtesy, then you are a racist.
-
No. It is your reasoning for not dating other races which could make you racist. At the most, you just may be closing yourself off from new experiences, and from finding the love of your life.
-
I refused to date smokers. I may have made a silly mistake. Limiting your options doesn't necessarily make you a racist, but it can affect your happiness.
-
no it does not.
-
As a statement it does indeed sound racist. However, there are various alternative motives that could lead you to say that. It could simply be that you've not come across anyone from another race that you've fancied. Basically it depends on your motives.
-
It depends your reason! Thats my opinion!
-
some people just arent attracted to others outside of their race....but ill tell ya, Ive kinda always wanted to bang a black chick!
-
Not of necessity. You may just be being considerate of any potential sprogs who might belong to niether camp and cop abuse from both sides. Being of the pale pink persuasion I tend to like/dislike any person on what I find in the packet, NOT what col(u)r paper the packet is wrapped in. My brother and a friend were once turned away from a bar thus. "Are you colour prejudiced?" "No, not in the least." "Well we ARE, out!" This bieng two white blokes in an English pub. Both hues it seems are fully cabable of prejudice. Why should you be any different?
-
I believe every races should mix with another race for the genetic benefits which make a human evolve into a stronger species. Sticking to the same race will eventually lead to inbreeding. Also your being closed minded, you did only said you won't date them, but you'd have sex with them?
-
Doesnt sound racist. Just sounds like you have a preference. I knew a guy who had a dark haired girl interested in him. When somebody told him he said, "I like blond chicks." A moderately crude answer, but I dont think he was a "brunettist"
-
Who the fu*k cares why you won't date people of other races. Sounds like your problem and not mine.
-
Sticking to one group is so boring.
-
no not at all... everybody has a type they like... and you just never no, in future u may just do cause with your age so does change your taste in everything...
-
depends on WHY you will not date the other race, just because you don't find the other race attracted doesn't mean your racist. But if you NOT dating them because of their race then yes you are racist.
-
No, it just means that you might actually like going to family reunions to meet women. Personally, I won't date anyone from another species.
-
If you're not attracted to people from other races then no. If its because you think they are beneath you then yes.
-
It's personal preference. I don't see how it would make you racist as long as you're not NOT dating someone because you think that your race is better than theirs.
-
Yes, you're a racist, however it's OK in this instance. Discriminating based-upon race is not OK when the discrimination negatively impacts those suffering the discrimination. But you're only negatively impacting yourself by excluding other races from those you'll date. You're the only one that will suffer from your discrimination, so you're entitled to discriminate.
-
NAh
-
No, dating/finding a potential partner is very personal and you have your free will to choose. For instance, if you won't date fat people, it doesn't mean you hate them. As far as choosing a partner is concerned, people would have their own criteria. Making friends is different. If you won't make friends with other races, then you are a racist. +4
-
You are entitled to your preferences. I agree with a previous writer who said that it depends on "why" you do not date other races. If you don't because you are afraid or superior in your mind, those would be problems. If you simply are attracted to your own race and none other, who can take that away from you? You are entitled to like the race that you prefer.
-
it depends if you dont date them because of their stereotypes or if you dont date them because your simply not attracted to them. theres nothing wrong with a lack of attraction, however judging somebodies personality by their culture is racist
-
I don't think it makes you racist everyone has a preference you would only be considered racist if you treated other races wrongly without them doing anything to deserve it
-
No it does not. It makes you picky, but not a racist. Not wanting to date some one of another race usually has to do with attraction rather than racism, so i wouldnt consider it racist. Too many people are eager to play the race card over such little things like dating preferences, etc...
-
It depends on why... Certain people wont date fat people. Certain people wont date blonds. Certain people wont date people of other religions. It's a preference. If those people HATE those people and wont have anything to do with them, refuse to be their friend... then that's a little different.
-
There's only one race and that's human! But i'd date anyone once i like them. +5
-
I guess that would depend on your reasons. People can't really control who they are attracted to, so if you simply don't find anyone besides your particular race attractive then I don't think that makes you racist. If you won't date people from other races than you because you have preconceived notions, and stereotypes about them, then ya you're a racist.
-
No everybody has their preference just like choosing someone with a certain hair color.
-
No, it means you have a preference, something we should all be allowed to have without being labelled for it.
-
no you just are missing out.
-
Yea it does.
-
No, it does not make you a racist, it just means you have your own personal preference.
-
i'm sexist because i only date men!!! no, that's not racist any more than having a sexual preference is sexist.
-
it depends what race you are. joking but whats wrong with inter racial couples. inter racial babies can end racism
-
I've convinced there's only ONE race: its called "The Human Race." But no, that doesn't mean you're a racist. (Though you could be, depending on what you reasons are for not wishing to date people from other nationalities/ethnic backgrounds.) If you merely find it too complicated to date someone from an ethnic background which you know little about & simply don't wish to offend that person through ignorance of their ways, that wouldn't be racist to not date people from other ethnic backgrounds.
-
Do what makes you feel comfortable. It's all about relating to the person you're with and being comfortable with them.
-
No, it makes you a person with preferences, nothing wrong with that.
-
There's a theory that states that one person cannot be racist - that Racism is a systems issue - that the system is racist and then the people play it out. Example, we live in a system that benefits whites, everyone else continues that system.
-
Nah!!! I believe that everybody has their own preference. I have my own and people have their opinions about me....
-
I think it depends on why you will not date outside your race. If it is because you do not like other races or you think you are too good then yes that's racist, but if you are just not attracted to a particular race, maybe because they have certain ethnic features you find unattractive, then no. For instance, someone who doesn't like blondes and doesn't date them, is going on their personal preference about what lookls they like and that's accepted. If you met a person of a different race that you found attractive and you liked their personality, but still wouldn't date them just because of theire race, then yes that's racist
-
That would be determined by your answer to why you won't date people from other races.
-
no your not. It means you don't fine them attrated maybe
-
Not at all. Each of us has our own preferences.
-
No, it means you have a restrictive sexual preference. Nothing to do with racism.
-
Do yopu have friends of different races and do you deal with other races well ? If you said yes to eather you are not a racist. If you cannot deal with other races in any way then you can be classified as a racist. Be honest with yourself. Hopefully you can deal with other races. You dont have to date them.
-
It means there just not your type or your racist :P
-
It is a personal choice.Date whoever you want.Does that make you a racist? Maybe in the eyes of the person you are NOT dating. Dr.Suess said it best."“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
-
Not necessarily. If you don't find someone attractive that's your prerogative. But, if there were to be someone that you really liked (as a person) and you wouldn't look at them because they are of another race that would be a darn shame.
-
No,if you refuse to be friends with ppl from other races then you are a racist
-
yes because your limiting them to your availability compared to someone of your own race
-
Just because you are not attracted to a particular race it does not make you racist. Now if you think less of a race, that makes you racist.
-
Everyone has their personal preferences. Your entitled to your own preferences. It doesn't make you a racist just because you prefer you own race. It's just more comfortable to you. Like people who speak a different language from you. Even though they may be able to speak your language they may prefer to talk to their friends in their native tongue.
-
No you're not racist. I am the same way. I think its good to keep your race pure, but personal preferences are acceptable.
-
Thats fine...some people won't date people of a different sex...
-
I'd think it would depend upon why. if it's some racial purity issue, well, that's racist. If you are most attracted to the features of your own race, that's cool. I am Caucasian, married/divorced the same, am attracted to Filipinos, and some African features. We all like certain things and no one should feel badly or extra proud that they are attracted to only their own race. It's the underlying reasons that are telling. I personally would love the day that this ceases to be an issue.
-
Yes. Clearly the people who are answering here have no concept of what racism is, so let me break it down real easy. . Racism; noun; the prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races . In other words, if you view a race to be superior in whatever category for whatever reason, that means you are engaging in racism - you are racist. Any prejudice involving the superiority of a race is precisely what racism is. Period. . I, myself, prefer Asian woman, and always have. It doesn't mean I don't date any woman of any race. I do. But I prefer Asian women as I find I am more attracted to the way they look. If you told me, "Hey, Joseph, you can bang any girl on this list: Black, Hispanic, Asian, or White" I would pick Asian. I would prejudge based in race and pick the Asian. That's racism. I don't see how this is even a debate. . Racial preference = racial prejudgment = racism . Period.
-
Are you racist in any other way? If not then no it is a personal prefrence but be careful there are wonderful people of all races and u might just find yourself.................... hurtzsogood
-
nope, Im white and respect other races but I wouldnt be caught dead with a black woman as a gf, (bad experiences) they scare the begesus out of me
-
I think the way you phrased the question is it's own answer. Key phrase: "I won't." Not, "I never have," or, "I like dating my own race the most, but...", or something. To me, it sounds like you've already made up your mind that it's better to date people of your own race. That leads me to think that you believe people of your own race are superior to people of other races. if that's all true, that makes you a racist.
-
In a manner of speaking, yes it does. You have already decided that you won't date people of other "races" ( whatever THAT is ). That means you have "pre-judged" them, which is the definition of "pre-judice."
-
No. That's a personal choice in which you no way disparage another race. Many people do not date outside of their faith or their country of origin. It just shows a preference for mating.
-
.
-
No, but you might be a bigot.
-
No, you just prefer girls of your own race.
-
No, it's just limiting yourself. What ever floats your boat! :-)
-
No, I don't think it makes you racial. You're just exercising your right to your own personal choice in a partner.
-
I don't think it makes you a racist. I am in an interacial marriage and we have a beautiful family and a strong marriage, but if you prefer to date within your race as long its not because of hate then your not a racist.
-
I don't think it does. I think that's just your preference; just as some people from one race have a preference for a race different from their own.
-
yes. if you don't date someone just because of their race i think you are racist..
-
I don't know and who cares.
-
NO, it is biological for most people to be attracted to the same race. Would you call a tiger racist for not mating with a lion?
-
Hell ya! YOu should say, I dont feel attracted by.... but to state " I WONT" , it means that you would never permit yourself.
-
I am a white female and I do not date anyone out of anything than the hispanic race. I get along with an have plenty of friends who are white, black, asian... you name it. And though I've done nothing but suffer the cultural differences among whites and hispanics, that's all I'll be with. I am not racist, Ijust have a preference (no matter how wrong it has led me) as to who I will be with... No you are not racist
-
it is a preference. If you were mean to them, not friendly or would not have them as a friend..then that is racist. Plenty of people of all races share the same thoughts as you. Certain races may not be appealing to certain people.
-
I don't think so but I'm sure other people will..so just don't talk about it.
-
Well, racist is a generalization, a negative predisposition toward other (certain) races. The fact that race alone would disqualify certain people from your potential dating pool is a negative predisposition towards other races. So, in that sense, by that definition, your actions imply racism. But racism is a buzzword. And there's many degrees of racism, and types as well. Indeed, we are all guilty of some form or another to some degree, I am sure... or at least, we are all guilty of making generalizations. It is human nature to do so, or at least it is what we have been taught to do. The trick is to realize that you can improve yourself through constant awareness of how you perceive others.
-
You would have to be more specific in your reasons for not dating other races. If you said because my race is supreme and better than anyones else and I won't settle for less than yes it would. If you said because I am simply attracted to my own race only then no. However stereotyping a particular race for looks is very often misleading.
-
depends on your reasoning... if it is simply because you are not attracted to them then no. if it is because you are afraid your daughters will be too hot like jessica alba, hale berry, or anne hathaway, then it is wierd but no. if it is because you think other races or mixed breeds are inferior then yes.
-
I think it makes you race selective. We're selective about other things.
-
I won't date anyone from any race, does that make me a racist? I have mice that breed with deer mice and the offspring is freaky, the colors in their fur. I have red belly snakes that breed with ring necks, they also have ugly colors. I think if a person wants to stay in their race, then thats not only normal but prevents a lifetime of harrassment from people that don't agree with it, not to mention the relatives. Peer pressure is an ugly thing, do what you want.
-
Yes. I think you are racist. and I am also racist.
-
Why?If you say that the reason is that you don't like them just because they are from other races, my answer would be YES,that makes you a racist, what would be very sad...what if your soulmate is from another race...would be too bad for you...
-
No not at all. Everybody have there prefernce of people they date. I'm not attracted to skinny people does that make me racist no it does not. I'm attracted to all kinds of people, race is not a problem with me but I understand people when I hear I onlt date blacks or whites or whatever.
