Would you rather people danced around that by being like uhhh yeah I'm not attracted to people with dark skin, etc etc. Like no bro just say you aren't really attracted to black people. Who cares who they wan fuc
For what it's worth I think there are mostly exceptions to these preferences. Just like a girl who 'only dates tall guys' might one day find an absolute 5'4 CHAD and become infatuated.
Also the weight analogy was poor and I will take that on the chin
what kind of features are we talking about? i can only think of about three off the top of my head; a lot of asian people have an
epicanthic fold (looked up asian eyes and thats what came up), asian people are generally less tall than westerners, and black people tend to have fuller lips.
personally, i can't comprehend disliking any one of these features so much that i shrivel up. then again, i also can't comprehend fetishising feet, but people do that anyway.
my problem lies with making absolute statements like 'i'm not attracted to this race'. if you even know that there are exceptions, the statement just isn't true.
i can't imagine any scenario where you would have to 'dance around it'. if someone you're not attracted to comes on to you just tell them you don't have feelings for them. if someone asks you "would you date a black girl?" just answer "if i like them". saying no on the basis of race is just weird imo.
