Is my friend rude or racists?
She is looking for love and has been going on dates set up by a dating service. A few days ago, she told me she went out with a guy but he was too DARK. He was Middle Eastern. She is Asian-Chinese and has said that she doesn’t want to date an Asian, but is looking for a white man or Mexican. I am getting the impression that she is a little racists. I am her friend, and I am African American and her remarks stunn me.
It’s less a question of “is she racist?” and more one of “what is racism?”.
Does sexual attraction play a part in racism? On the one hand IS discriminating because of race, but does sexual preference matter?
