So everyone has to find everyone else equally attractive or else they are racist. This is why political correctness can go to hell.
Mate, all I'm saying is that you can't just be like "I don't find black girls attractive" and then not expect people to get pissed off, because it makes the OP sound like a dick.
I agree he worded it poorly. But he can't help who he finds attractive.

I don't find many dark skinned black women attractive, I don't see how its racist but if you think it is I frankly don't care. Its my preference, I find blue eyes attractive and I don't find dark skinned black women attractive, what's the difference? And I do intentionally say dark skinned because I think lighter skinned black women are some of the most beautiful in the world.

I don't find black people attractive, but I find pretty much any other race attractive. I don't think the OP is being racist, and I don't think I am either. I have no problems with black people, I just don't like how dark their skin is (in an attraction sense). I tend to prefer light skinned, dark haired girls.

Lulz. I agree with your statement.

It's not racism just in the same way being gay isn't sexism.

Black guy here (called white by my friends), and living in a mostly white neighbor all my life and going to schools where white people make up the major amount of students I have a thing for white girls more then black girls. But I'm not going to say I wouldn't date a black girl, shoot I would date any girl if she is nice. Find myself interested to white, black, asian, what have you. I wouldn't call it racists to prefer a girl of another color to your own, it's what you do, where you go, who you hang and grew up with. Now saying I hate a X color girl because she looks like a Y (something offensive) would be raciest.

Nope, its more of a genetic disorder than anything. If your parents were black and had an alibino baby, it would still be black but just not have the color pigments to make it so. You could really only argue they aren't anything because even white people have colour pigments.

And no it doesn't make you racist.

A) sexual atraction is not a choice.
B) prolly more importantly, different races have more differences than just skin color, facial structure, and dozens of other anatomical differences exist. It's likely that it isnt the fact that they are black that turns u off, but something that is a turn off for u is more likely to exist on a person of african desent. At least, thats what i think.

Can I ask something.... who really cares? Why is everyone so concerned about the things they do, think or believe giving off the impression that they are racist? Do you think you are racist if you don't find black women attractive? No? Well then why the fuck do you care if other people think you are racist?

That's a stupid argument...

You can't really help who you're attracted to.

And for the most part, guys are attracted to girls from the same race anyways, so it's kind of just calling all guys racist or something along those lines if you were to say it's racism to not be attracted to someone of a different race.
I counter that.

I am a quintessential white male, but find black women more attractive.

As long as the attraction to people of a certain skin colour doesn't affect ones judgement, what exactly is the problem?
I agree, I just used an argument that most people are attracted to other people of the same race. I hope that makes sense to you because it sure as hell doesn't to me.

I'd agree with you, OP, to be honest. I'm a white male, and I'm attracted mostly to white girls, usually redheads or brunettes (pale skin is actually quite an attraction for me, though that's more because I had fake tan girls than anything else...). I'm not usually attracted to girls of other backgrounds, although I'll admit there are some Asian and black girls who I find really attractive.

And on that note, I am by no means racist. I have plenty of friends who are black, plenty of Asian friends, plenty of white friends, and although I'm English my background is Serbian (so Eastern Europe) on my father's side.

Personally, I don't see how sexual preference can possibly be equated to the feelings of someone about a race as a whole. If I said that I didn't fancy an Afghan girl because her country is full of terrorists, then that would be racist (for the record, I don't think that and would never say or think that). If I said I didn't fancy her because she just wasn't that attractive to me personally, and that I thought an Irish girl with pale skin and red hair was more attractive, that wouldn't be racist, it would just be my own preference (my actual real life preference, as it happens), and I could easily have Afghan friends too. That's just the way things go.

Every time this topic crops up, it always ends in fucking bloodshed...

Anyway, preference just depends on a number of factors. As a black man, I generally prefer white women over black women, but would pick a beautiful Asian woman over them both, because they take priority. However If I see a hot girl of any race, I'm generally attracted to them, black white, or otherwise.

There does appear to be a preference for both men and women to, generally speaking, go out with the people of the same colour... There's nothing wrong with that, since nobody seems offended by it. Racism is only really serious when someone is offended or hurt from the opinion, and there's nothing you can do about sexual preference, after all... My ex was black, but before that I was always attracted to white/asian people, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Nope, there isn't. My assumption was always how and where you were raised. My city is a melting pot (North London) so you're going to be around every race imaginable here. So while I prefer one race over another, I sure as hell can't rule the others out, because some pretty girl will come along and change all that.
This.

Holy shit just this.

As a black teen I have to say...I'm not picky.

Technically albino is a lack of pigment, so it's no color at all.

But now I'm genuinely curious about if there are any albino "black" people out there.
Albino is a genetic condition that leads to no pigments as you said, so there wont be any albinos colored black, but black people can have children that are albino. I guess technically that would be a "black" albino.

OT:
I dont think thats racist, everyone has some prefrences like differnt hair color, weight and so on. I dont see how your case is any different.

Yeah, that's what I had in mind. I suppose I should have clarified, but that's too late at this point.

it's not racist, you just don't view them as that attractive. you're not saying they're an inferior race, just saying you don't want sleep with them.

I wouldn't consider it racist... I mean I'm exactly like you, not initially attracted to black women, but it's not like I won't give them a chance :/

My experience is that this isn't the case. I only know and am friends with one Black person, and they're a guy. Despite this, I still find I am more attracted to Black women. I am also fairly impartial to an attractive Asian woman, but I only know 2 Asians.

Albinism is a skin disease that can be contracted by any race. So, to answer the question I know you're thinking, there can be an albino African American as much as there can be an albino caucasian.

OT: No, it's not racist at all. Your base sexual preferences are set in your mind. If I think that an Asian woman is more attractive than an African American woman, that's perfectly fine, it's just whatever you're into. This is no more racist than if I were to prefer the stronger pigmentation in a woman's dark hair than a woman with blonde hair. It's pigmentation and genetic differences, and your overall environment shapes your sexual preferences. Hearing a close friend say that blondes are sexy will influence your desires towards blondes, or could have the opposite effect if someone you aren't very fond of says the same thing (or at least that's how I see it).

In short, you are a P.O.Y.E.

I think this may be due to them seeming somewhat "exotic" to you, since you never see them. I personally prefer white chicks, especially Europeans, which is probably because of the awesome accents. I think foreign languages are sexy.
