The fact that racist people really think physical attraction is void of social power structures is beyond me.

No, science and biology didn’t make you not attracted to an entire race of people. Racism did that.

It’s called a preference???

Did you not read the post? You can’t have a preference that excludes an entire race of people without being racist. Where do you think those preferences come from?

Especially preferences that exclude people of color. We learn what race/ethnicity/phenotype are attractive by the social power structures we are surrounded by.

There’s absolutely no possible way for a person to find every single black, or every single Asian or every single (Insert race) person unattractive because there is so much physical, phenotypical and internal diversity within each race.

So, as an example, folks who say “I’m not attracted to black people, that’s just my preference” what they are really saying is “I don’t want to be with black people because I have been taught to think they are ugly, undesirable, and I know nothing about how diverse black people are”

Tl;dr preferences are not void of social power structures :)

Legit. The things/traits people usually say that they don’t like Black for are nappy hair, wide nose, and big Lips. Which are traits that have been mocked, degraded and demonize for literally centuries.

Idk how you think your “preferences” happened out of no where
