If you have a fetish for Asian girls for example, and you choose your partner based on that fetish, that's racist, because you're not just going for a person that possesses certain physical features (which people of other races might also possess), you are specifically going for an asian and that devalues a person. On the flip side, you might have a fetish for a certain race, but not let that fetish have any impact when it comes to dating, etc.

TL; DR: Attraction is not problematic, while fetish can be (just like any other fetish).
