One of those text posts where Locke gives his opinion on some moralfag thing going around Tumblr, again.

Today’s topic is racial preference!
Apparently it makes you a racist to say you aren’t attracted to ‘insert race here’ because it’s basically claiming that all people of a certain race looks the same.
And personally to some extent I agree, it’s generalising and there will always be exceptions and not all races look the same etc
But people are attracted to blondes and not brunettes, some like skinny girls, other than fat but these are always assumed generalisations, I don’t think anyone who likes blondes actually means ‘I like blondes and I HATE ALL OTHER HAIR COLOURS AND WOULD NEVER DATE THEM NO’. And I don’t think anyone assumes that either. The person is just claiming they like one hair colour more than another.
If I said I prefer pale skin, or Caucasian girls or whatever that doesn’t then in turn mean that I’d never touch a black/Asian/Indian/Vulcan girl with a barge pole. And if I said I wasn’t sexually attracted to dark skin, it doesn’t make me a racist, it just means I’m not sexually attracted to dark skin. I don’t hate people of a certain race because I’m not sexually attracted to that certain race. I mean that is just fucking stupid. I can’t help what I am and aren’t attracted too and it doesn’t make me a racist because of it. I’m sure there are people out there who don’t date another race because of racism, look at Japan, land of Xenophobia. But I’m pretty sure if a guy/girl prefers ‘x race here’ they aren’t not dating ‘y race here’ out of racism. Fuck that is so retarded.
Fuck the more I tried to write a rational answer the more I realised the whole ‘not being attracted to a certain race makes you racist’ thing is just so fucking stupid it’s practically impossible to write a rational response.
Ok but you’ve got to admit that the reason you are primarily attracted to people with white skin is due to some bonkers internalized racism.
