It comes down to whether you believe racial profiling in dating is because someone just doesn't genuinely like the aesthetic, or whether you think it is based on connotations the skin colour brings. If not going out with a black, brown, yellow guy etc. is exactly the same as not liking a small nose, big nose, toned body, skinny body etc then I'm cool with that.
What i'm not cool with is avoiding certain races because you think skin colour comes with certain (lower) status, behaviours, etc. You disagree?
Perhaps I should have explained this in my initial post BUT my experience is that racial preferences in dating comes very often (not always) from pre-conceptions of what said person behaves like: social status, background, etc. NOT because girls like a specific shade of skin because it looks nice. I don't even think the prejudice is conscious a lot of the time, so much of it is learnt. Bring on a coloured James Bond or a chinese Bruce Springsteen
