Don't they have it set up now to where you put a check mark next to what you like? I've never done online dating before but I'd imagine they have filters for this kind of thing. "No blacks" at a restaurant would be racist but I'm not so sure about dating. People have their preferences.

"No Blacks" in a dating profile is so racist that people can't even sugar coat it without being even more offensive.

Kind of a loaded question. It's taboo to have that on a profile but the reality is that race is often a factor (one of many) in people's sexual attractions.

It's real and normal but you can't speak it, even if you know what you are and are not into.

Well blacks call themselves black. Hence the lady in the pharmacy video where the guy was like "She's African American" and she said "No, I'm black." You wouldn't call a black Frenchman an African American.

You asked for different wording, so there it is.

Stating what you prefer looks better than just listing what you do not, especially if you're the type to use the term "blacks".

Yeah yeah that's certainly nitpicking.

Some white women only want black men.

Some black women only want white men.

Then there's whites who want whites and blacks who want blacks. There's nothing strange about that either nor is it racist to call black people black. It's just a color.

IMO, one of those terms still has some humanization in it, while the other sorta lacks that. Calling someone "a black" or referring to black people as "the blacks" gives off a slightly more racist vibe than saying "a black person" or "black people".

Notice that it's just "I'm black", and not "I'm A black." Being black can be a descriptive quality, but not the entirety of a person.

The term "blacks" reduces people down to one characteristic. It's borderline dehumanizing.

Fuck the wording it's the fact you literally felt a need to put it in your profile that's racist. Just don't swipe right if that's how you feel.

You in the general sense of course.

It is literally racist, and anyone saying otherwise is wrong.

There is no way you have met every single person of one race to know they all aren't attractive to you.

You are literally dismissing an entire group of people based on their race.

Pretending that somehow isn't racist is some serious mental gymnastics.

I mean if you hate them for their race it makes sense to also not view them in a sexual manner.

Truth that cannot be spoken. Adults trained to be like children. Cover your eyes, cover your ears, shut your mouth. Everyone pretending to be something else even though they know better and everyone else knows better. That's the name of the game. A child's game.

wrong. it can be depending on the reasons, but its not racist if its just a purely aesthetic desire. to say its automatically racist is basically like saying guys are homophobic if they wont consider dating other men.
