I am a white lady,who looks like I am mixed because I have brown skin.Both of my parents are white also.Yet I have never had any interest in white men.The only guys I ever dated were all black.My husband is black as well.I always heard that once you go black you dont go back and this seems to be the case with me.DOes this mean I am racist towards white people?All of my family is mostly white and all my friends are either mixed,white or black.Tell me your thoughts.

Just liking black guys over white guys doesn't make you a rascist, thats a complete different issue. I'd think its more to do with the culture you surround your self with. As for you being white with brown skin doesn't sit well with me, you must have some non-white in your family (unrelated to you liking black guys and not white guys but thought i had mention it).

I like men with blond hair and i don't think that makes me a racist. I think that people are just naturally drawn to certain types of people and skin color has nothing to do with it.

What makes you racist is the way you think about a person's race, not what race you're attracted to. Some people are attracted more predominantly towards one race than another, and that's perfectly fine. If you didn't date white people because you looked down on them, that would make you racist. I'm 99% sure that's not the reason, so you're not a racist for not dating white guys.

I don't find you as a racist. You just prefer to date African-Americans. However, if you don't have interest in white people because of their color/race, it would be a different story. But I'm pretty sure you just simply prefer one over the other. That is perfectly normal.

No, you are definitely no racist. You just prefer a special type of guy . Like some others only have boys with blue eyes and blonde hair. Or some are only with guys with brown hair and brown eyes.

No, I don't think you are racist. I would hope not, it is not a great trait whether you feel you are racist towards blacks or whites. I believe you just have a preference for the people you date. It happens. Being racist means you reject an entire race of people based on their race only. I am sure you haven't rejected white people totally. It also means you stereotype the race and dont get to know people as individuals and you mostly have a negative connotation towards them. Racism is deep. Your preference is not.

It doesn't mean your racist, it just means your not interested. I, Myself, am not attracted to black-african women and attracted to white women usually. I've only dated white women. It doesn't mean your racist because your not using any kind of descrimenation.
