While this itself isn't racist, that doesn't mean reasons for it can't be. Like if you said " eww I won't date a Mexican because they're gross " vs " I'm just not attracted to them "
It's really not
It's called reference
There is no thing wrong in liking something over others
Like if you like blue eyes, it would automatically means you would go for white people bc they got blue eyes (more common than others)
Or you like dark skin, you go for black people cause obviously
I have a friend who's fluent in English, he doesn't speak any other languages. He's so bad that if we're telling each other dreams we had the night before and I mistype it as " drem " he gets confused. ( He also says I " misinterpret " his words when he uses the wrong phrases that make a sentence completely different like " it's " instead of " there was " )
So don't worry your English is great
Never stop improving yourself
I think it's necessary to be a little harsh on what I do
Or I would just turn into a lazy ass and end up regretting my whole life one day
Sjws actually believe that you're homophobic for only liking the opposite gender and if you're a male who likes males you're sexist

No, idiots believe that. It hasn't got anything to do with social justice. Also whats with the title? What has that got to do with feminists? Can people not make up their mind who exactly they're stereotyping?
Because that is what the voice of feminism and "social justice" has become.

Or what the enemies of gender equality and social justice have more and more successfully made it look like. Still wouldn't explain what feminism has got to do with the topic here.
I would challenge that it might not be about the "race" of the people. Often, but not always, race tends to come with a unique culture and heritage and that confers a commonality among those people.
I think this would give them "something in common" at the outset.
It is racist and I'll tell you why. You've hung the entire thing on race. If you say "I'm attracted to people with the same traits as are common to my own race and share similar values to me" that is not racist. If you say "I only am attracted to my race." That is racist, because the ENTIRE statement is about race. It's not that your people have dark hair, light skin, green eyes, small frames, or whatever traits you value in your races appearance. You've specified that if you met someone with all those features you wouldn't be attracted to them if they were another race, even if they looked like your race. You could argue it's more culture, but culture is more about where you are than where you're from. A 16th generation German in America likely has little or no "German" cultural traits or language. Not everyone of any race is similar enough to be attracted to all or none of that race, if it's about characteristics there is someone in that race who fits your criteria- except their race
OP clearly ment that being attracted to only others who look like them (i.e. their race) isn't racist, you retort that 16 generations out from a German origin is proof that it is (I understand that wasn't the only point given, but come on). If anything, their statement could have been said more clearly, but I doubt that would have stopped you from vomiting words to accuse them of racism.
I mean, I did read somewhere that certain races were more prone/suceptable ( idk if that's how it's spelled ) to certain illnesses so that as well if it's true
"Race" is meaningless, except when it comes to medical concerns:
• Black people are at a higher risk of sickle cell anemia.
• Asians have a higher risk of fatal reactions to certain heart and blood pressure medication.
• Whites have a higher risk of cystic fibrosis.
• In Native Americans, the incidence of diabetes is lopsided, but generally higher than average. One tribe has the highest rate of incidence in the world.
And those are just the examples, there's many, many more. So when you talk to your doctor, your "race" and ancestral heritage are very important to the type and scope of treatments you recieve and the sort of preventative screenings you should have.

^^ Absolutely correct. The phenotypes we refer to as races have spent the period of their microevolution under certain circumstances, ie. sickle cell anemia and exposure to malaria, variable melanin profile and exposure to sun etc.. We're all the same; except for some minor differences when it comes to "races" but extremely heterogeneous within our groups. The variance within a race is much larger than between races.

I just hate having English as my not-first language
And I still have a lot to learn
Especially in pronunciation and grammar and speaking too
That's basically everything ;-;
