– having a gender preference is not the same as having a racial preference. if you change words in a sentence, the meaning of the sentence changes! wow!
– if I say I am into men, that includes cis, trans, and nonbinary men. that is not homogenizing (unless you’re transphobic, but that’s another post). “I can’t date black people because of their ashy skin tone” is assuming that all black people have the same skin tone, and disregarding all of our vast differences because of the One Skin Tone black people apparently have. that’s homogenizing
– “I like asian guys” asia is a huge continent with so many ethnic groups that having a specific idea of what “asian” looks like is racist in a multitude of ways. i’m sure you’re going to count off the groups you know aka china, korea, and japan which is exactly what i’m talking about so just quit now
– “I’ve dated x men before and I just don’t like them” you haven’t dated, nor will you ever be able to date, so many members of a race that it’s a computable fraction of that race. the fact that you white girls date one black guy and think you know them is laughable, it’s racist, and there’s no logic in it whatsoever
– from skin tone to hair texture to eye color, any physical attribute you credit to why you can’t date an entire race assumes that every member of that race has those attributes, which just isn’t true but you don’t care because you’re racist
– “what about poc who don’t date white people?” becky, that’s not a preference that’s a survival tactic
