    Default Is this racism?

    A columbian female co worker of mine was telling me that she only likes hispanic guys and wouldn't date another race because she doesn't believe in "mixing" as she called it. I therefore started to debate with her about how she is racist and she disagreed. She felt she was open minded and not racist, but just preferred hispanic guys. I told her that if she was open minded she would be open to date guys of all races. I also tried to explain to her that the sole condition for her not liking a black guy for the color of his skin, is racism. She thinks it's jsut perference. She doesn't date any other race than hispanic. Is that not discrimination? Is that not racism? I understand personal preference, much like how mine is for latinas, but I would also date girls of other races.

    Myself personally, would date a girl no matter what color or nationality, as long as she is pretty and has a good personality.

    What do you all think? Is she racist? Or am I bein stupid?

    You are an idiot. She isn't allowed to have a preference? If she was smart you'd be jobless for sexual harassment.

    I can see what you are talking about, but I would say it is personal preference more than anything. I wouldn't call that racist.

    Yes. You can choose to date who you want based on your own criteria. You can stay within your race, relationship-wise, and still not be a racist. Later, QD.

    Not racist. She says she won't DATE any one out of her preference, if she said she won't even talk to anybody out of a certain race then that would be more on the racist side.

    Sounds like preference to me.

    She just added 1 racist attribute be saying she was against "Race Mixing."

    Seems like she was just talking and wanted to state her point but didn't know how to effectively do it.

    Not racist.

    If she said "I don't date black guys because they're greasy.", that would be considered racist.

    It could extend to things beyond just ethnicity...so it may not be "racist" per se, but it's not exactly open-minded either. The idea of "no mixing" though is running that line.

    If it's a personal preference...then that's her thing, but if she's going to go and denounce others for such a thing then I would see it as a problem.

    Why complain? If she only wants to date Hispanic guys then there's more left for you anyway!

    perhaps it is just personal preference...but I think there is some racism to do with it. I've noticed here in ga, since this is the "south" ppl around here are much more likely to be racist against minorities and whatnot. You really don't see a lot of this up north and on the west coast. I feel like ppl should be a little more open minded than to simply date within their race. But, at the end of the day who am I, only Ia's 2nd biggest idiot besides christianintolosewateverthefuckhisnameis

    btw I did not get rejected, this girl was in no way shape or form "cute" at all....she's fugly and besides, I have a steady gf already... My job is easy as shit so I was just passing the time arguing with her.

    Sounds like she just doesn't want to date YOU and needed an excuse.

    That's not racist in the slightest bit IMO.

    Its hard to say personal preference is racism. I had a white friend that would date nothing but black women and nothing else, does this mean he is racist toward other ethnicities? Nah, just like you may not be attracted to blondes (theres few I find attractive) we have certain characteristics that we are attracted to.

    You are correct about the south though, I am a northwestern guy and race was a non issue up there but the climate here is totally different.

    racism-racist  

    1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
    2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
    3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.


    With THAT said....no it's not racist or racism.
