    If you don't want to sleep with them because you're not attracted to them, that doesn't make you racist.

    If you don't want to sleep with them because you think they are inferior to you or "dirty" or "sub-human" then you're racist.

    But what if they are inferior, dirty and "sub-human"? I've known lots of guys that would fit that description! Surely you're not saying that she should have sex with them even if they are inferior, dirty and "sub-human".

    What would be 'acceptable' reasons why?

    What is the difference, ethically speaking? And how does one determine the difference? I mean if I have been 'brought up' in a society that regards black and Asian people as inferior would that not have an impact on whether or not I find myself attracted to black people or Asian people? And if that were the case how would I personally be able to distinguish lack of attraction from racism?

    Geez, that's easy! They're not sexually attractive to you ...for whatever reaons. Just like I'm sure that you don't sleep with every single white guy that you meet, right? So are attractive to you, some are not. Do you always know the reasons why?

    Oh, wait .....DO YOU sleep with all white men that you meet????

    Hmm. Do people of 'Asian descent' only live in Asia though?

    Surely you're old enough, and experienced in life enough to know whether it's racism or not. If not, ....?

    Then why should you or anyone assume that you should sleep with black men or asians that you aren't attracted to?

    Well I imagine if people thought I was black or Asian they might expect me to.

    I don't know of anyone who would expect a woman to sleep with all men that are of her race and color. You're being silly now, sniffy.

    The operative word is 'only' as well you know.

    Whites should only sleep with whites.
    Blacks should only sleep with blacks.
    Asians should only sleep with Asians.

    Isn't that how it goes?

    No, you've missed the entire point of my post. It's like this:

    Whites should only sleep with whites ...that they're attracted to.
    Blacks should only sleep with blacks ...that they're attracted to.
    Asians should only sleep with Asians ...that they're attracted to.

    ...but not ALL of any of those!

    If you're not attracted to a black man, treat him the same way as you would with a white man that you aren't attracted to, ....don't sleep with him.

    Geez, I guess that makes you not a racist, but an ...attractionist????

    Hrrmm... the background of this thread, I believe is this thread:

    Sniffy is questioning some double standards

    Personally speaking, I think we should be allowed to be racist, because otherwise it will be dishonest. I believe that everyone has secretly / openly has some level of racism in their minds. However, we should not depend our happiness on what other people/races/nations think of our own people/race/nation, otherwise life will be exhausting! I now try to keep what other people/races/nations say about me/ my race/ my nation just for information. After all, when I say this or that about other races/nations, it's also not something that I really care or think much. Also, it doesn't affect the way I behave on individual basis.

    Yes, but those dirty, inferior guys were from New York and California! ...and a few from Aussieland.
