‘No Blacks’ Is Not a Sexual Preference. It's Racism.

44. I'm not attracted to blondes. Preference is not bigotry.

Redheads? Hot. Brunettes? Hot. Tall skinny blondes? They remind me of my mother, and I have no interest in boffing me own mum (or women who look like her).

We all have preferences. Some people aren't attracted to tall people. Some people aren't attracted to short people. Some find dark skin alluring. Some find pale skin exciting. Some people like their partner to have some curves. Some people are attracted the elfin waif look. Everyone has their own definition of "beautiful", and the further a person strays from that ideal, the less attraction that person experiences.

The fact that someone isn't attracted to someone else based on a physical feature doesn't make them racist or bigoted. It simply means that they have a preference for other physical traits.

So what's the difference between "preference" and "discrimination"? Simple...just ask yourself this: Is there a concealed contempt for that person based on the characteristic? Do you DISLIKE the person because they are blonde/brunette/tall/short/fat/skinny/young/old/DIFFERENT? If so, you might be a racist or a bigot. If not, you're simply expressing a preference.

Or, to put it another way:

"I like him, but I'm not attracted to {FEATURE}, so he doesn't turn me on." <--not bigoted
"That guy? Oh hell no. I don't like {FEATURE} people and don't want anything to do with them." <--bigoted

If you aren't attracted to a person based on a feature, you're simply expressing a preference. If you actually DISLIKE the person because of the feature, you are probably a racist or a bigot.
