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.
And what I think is an important distinction in the whole preference game is whether:
a) You are not usually attracted to someone of a certain race(Can't help it)
or
b) You are attracted to them, yet still use race as an excuse to not date them.
In your story, I would say it was more of B, which I think is racist.

exactly, agreed!
and same with the intheslots reply - its her choice that she chooses not to associate with non arab people in her life. Being just friends with someone, does not mean you will end up taking them home to meet mom and dad. And if so, then so what. :angry: [/b][/quote]
Fine. But are we talking about you being friends with this person. It seems to me that this possible relationshp was more romantic in nature. That changes things.
