Racist Ideas About Beauty

It is absolutely not racist to be naturally sexually attracted to people of a specific skin color, exclusively or for the most part.  This is true for the same reason that it is not sexist for people to just be heterosexual.  Perhaps someone is attracted more or less to people of a particular race, their own or another, and there is nothing about this that requires them to stereotype people or treat them differently in any other way.  Anyone uncomfortable with this is uncomfortable with an amoral part of reality since involuntary feelings or preferences cannot be immoral.

For people who do have a "type" they are frequently or more often physically attracted to, it still does not follow that they are only attracted to people with a certain skin color any more than a height preference is not by necessity something they would never look past.  It would still not be problematic if they were only attracted to one racial group or another.  Preferences are just not automatically going to be the only traits someone looks for in the body of their partner, and they are absolutely free by Biblical standards to admire other bodies of a similar or different "type."

Sexual attraction of a physical, relational, or intellectual kind is of course not the most important part of a dating relationship.  Pursuit of this primarily is to reductionistically focus on secondary or irrelevant things rather than someone's worldview and personality, the real individual within the body, when choosing a romantic/sexual partner.  Then there is the fact that neither the body in any state of exposure nor beauty of the body is sexual no matter what feelings it subjectively elicits.

Sexual attraction is a personal feeling that has nothing to necessarily do with whether something is sexual, and it also, again, has nothing to necessarily do with whether the recipient of the attraction belongs to a certain racial group.  Alongside stereotypes of someone's personality, worldview, or talents based upon their race, though, there might still be fallacious ideas about how one race is generally or universally more beautiful than another, as if beauty is not possessed in varying degrees by individuals regardless of their race.

No one is aesthetically bland because they are white or physically repulsive because they are black.  No one has greater or lesser physical features because of their skin color or ethnic background, and not only are these ideas false and always just assumed by fools, but they can be incredibly damaging, no less damaging than sexist ideas about beauty (such as that women are exclusively or mostly beautiful and men do not deserve broad sexual attraction from women).  However, in opposition to these delusions, one cannot be rational while objecting to happenstance aesthetic preferences for a certain partner that are not rooted in actual racism.
