If I Was To Say That I Didn't Find Black Girls Attractive, Am I Racist?

[dave50]

A young lad in our office at work said this then there was the usual discussion about racism. I wondered what others thought. If it was a just a personal preference for sexual attractiveness like for example saying you don't find thin girls or overweight girls attractive then surely it's ok to say it.

[Booldawg]

In my opinion, No.

When it comes to physical attraction there are always going to be likes and dislikes.

[andy-hughes]

No, it's not racist at all - in my view.

A preference is just that - a preference.

If you say you don't find black girls attractive, that's perfectly acceptable.

If you say you don't find black girls attractive because you believe they all carry STD's, then that would not be acceptable.

there are those that scream 'racist' when the word 'black' is used when it is used as merely stating a fact......

[andy-hughes]

Alice - //there are those that scream 'racist' when the word 'black' is used when it is used as merely stating a fact...... //

There are - usually because they don't understand the concept, or its applications. The more ignorant the bigot (and inverted bigot!) the louder the shouting!

[Baldric]

Can't say I agree with him, there are some stunningly attractive
Black Girls imo!

[-SharonA-]

Like Halle Berry!!

[dave50]

Yes Baldric I agree, there are.

[Bazile]

There are beautiful/ugly / ordinary , women in all cultures .

If he is saying that he has never found any black girls attractive , then he is entitled to his opinion ; just like i think that brussel sprouts is the devil's food

Not racist, just a preference. Some men are attracted by legs, some by other bits, some by red-heads etc., etc.. A cousin's new husband once said (at the Christmas dinner-table) that women who wore glasses were incredibly unattractive. I was sitting there in my 'Nana Mouskouri' pair! A couple of months later he booked me to help host the opening of his new garage - as long as I wore my hot-pants. This is going back a bit of course.

Some men(at the races) are drawn to the, ahem, older lady.

[jourdain2]

Simpering coyly doesn't suit me svejk - but I'm doing it anyway! :o) x

[Old_Geezer]

No. Each race has different distinguishing features and you are entitled to your personal taste, even if it does seem rather misguided :-)

[Old_Geezer]

"Some men are attracted by legs"

Some men are attracted to thin legs. Some men are attracted to fat legs. I prefer something in between.

[Baldric]

Naughty OG!!

No more a problem than saying you do not find girls with a particular
hair colour attractive.

[dave50]

We seem to be all in agreement and quite right but I bet nobody in the public eye would ever dare say such a thing, the thought police would be down on them like a ton of bricks.

[TWR]

You are wrong Dave, this person would, If I thought the person was unattractive I would tell them so, that's not racist.

[trt]

I find black/brown girls much more attractive than white girls, especially slim ones.

If that's racism I don't really care, as its my choice who I am intimate with.
