I don't want anyone to think that I don't believe we have some issues to work out, but can someone explain to me how this isn't just preference? "There are people who think that saying “I’m not into black girls” despite the fact that they’re upwards of 500 million of them on the planet and the color of their skin is the only prerequisite that they failed to meet, who think that it’s just a matter of preference, and not terribly racist" There are also millions of people who are blonde that I would not go out with, simply because I much prefer girls with brunette/brown hair. In addition to this, I also probably wouldn't go out with someone taller than me, just because I find it unattractive. Many girls won't go out with guys shorter than them. How would it be different if I said I wouldn't date someone who had dark skin, because I don't find it as attractive.
