Damn, white people.
I'm right there with you, especially after reading the comments and figuring out what happened.
The phrase "I'm just not attracted to people with darker skin/asians/jewish people etc." is such a racist bullshit phrase. Then they try and cover up the racism by saying "It's just like saying I'm not attracted to redheads/short people etc. It's just a preference."
No it's not what it is is a fucked up racist attitude, where was the holocaust of short people where were the lynchings of redheads huh?
Whether you realize it or not (and you should fucking realize it) it's a racist fucking attitude that's been informed by the racist attitude of society at large. Deal with that shit and realize that if you say something like that any people of color or people with sense that hear it are going to label you racist. Own that shit.
Also I don't wanna start shit in your journal otherwise you know there's some shit I would have said in response to one of the comments.
