I wouldn't be surprised if there were TONS of white guys (many of my friends included... maybe myself), who might not overtly say "I only date white chicks', but at the same time, they 'feel' that they are only attracted to caucasians. Is this racism? Is it racist when you harbour no ill-will towards any other races, but prefer to stick with your own 'kind' in romantic circles?

I think so.
When you make a decision based on a person's race, that is, by definition, racism.
At least, that's how I feel. [/b][/quote]
I understand what you are saying but again I ask the question. How is it different from someone only being attracted to blonde girls? Or tall guys? Or redheads? Its all part of the physical attributes that form a great deal of the basis for attraction. Shallow? Yes. Racist? Not sure.
