I think this is racism. I agree that we all have our preferences but this girl doesn't even want to mingle with non arabs. I say that's racism. If you're gonna live in a diverse country such as Canada, you should be able to atleast mingle with people without screening them for their race.

I make the assumption that "mingle" is still in the romantic sense. The entire context of the situation involved some sort of romantic relationship so i assume this is the case. Therefore in my opinion it is part of the attraction (or lack thereof) and therefore not racism.

I also think the stor analogy someone brought up is a poor one.

As a person you have a right to shop wherever you want and every store has to have their doors open to you. You also have the right to date whoever you want, but that does not mean that all girls MUST date you.

Ultimately its her choice.
