If an individual finds
all women of a particular race unattractive it MAY be just a matter of taste. But I feel that at least in some cases it's indicative of racism.
If one truly has an intense dislike for another race of people because of their race and doesn't find a single one attractive in many cases I would think the racism is the why; it's affecting their perception of those other people.
That's just my opinion, and I admit I'm biased. I find women from ALL races attractive. Also, women of all hair colors as well, except sometimes pink, green, blue, or purple. But even some of them are OK too.
Too much thinking about thinking for me.
Sometimes people are just crude and rude when they believe they're out of others' earshot. Big mouths yakking without much thought to what they're saying because they're just trying to impress each other, having a testosterone chest beating contest. It's not the kind of talking that's supposed to be taken seriously any more than when women talk about hot movie stars.
In my 20s I worked for one of the very first popular video matchmaking services. The interviews were 2 to 3 hours. 9 out of 10 men started out with the same picture of the "ideal woman" yet only about 2% of women would fit that description. So were they racist about everyone else? Was it taste? Neither. More of a reflection of the current winning pinup girl. Buxom blonde one year, blue-eyed athletic brunette another, brown eyed tiny blonde another, ravishing redhead, exotic Islander another... whatever the media's current darling model was, that was the ideal woman. That's not fair to the other women, but when has dating ever put everyone on equal footing?
For most, it took a lot of time and personal questions to get past the stereotype images. Some never do and don't want to be more open-minded. That's okay, it's their private life and personal partner we're talking about, not an attitude toward an entire group that would carry forward in the workplace and life. Everybody has the right to have silly ideas about what they find attractive in a partner and they don't owe anybody an explanation or excuse, either, because that's about as personal as you get. People have the right to choose for themselves and nobody has the right to tell them they can't (except maybe the other person..
).
Racism and prejudice are societal ills about grouping and generalizing and treating people unfairly based on race. It's not based on attraction and has nothing to do with it. One is personal, the other is societal. Is there a crossover? Maybe sometimes there is, but when it's someone's personal choice and their personal life, IMO, we have to butt out and not judge because it's none of our business what a person's preferences are in their private life if those preferences aren't illegal or actually causing injury.
