Is it racist to have ethnic/racial preferences in dating?

>> white liberals: racist
>> black Hebrew Israelite saying the Holocaust is a joke and "Heil Hitler!": not racist

Seems legit

I did say he needs to be condemned. He's definitely a bigot.

No. For example, colorism is a major issue within the black community but people who adhere to it are not racists. That doesn't mean it's any less wrong however.

I didn't ask about skin color prejudices, I asked about racial prejudices.

How do we know you're not white, you're just a random flag on the internet at this point. For all we know you could be the whitest dude/dudette in North America.

Wait, if you're white, then can you be racist against white people?

After doing a quick Google search, no, apparently they cannot.

You asked if white people can be racist towards other white people.

Well I guess I will have to take your word and you will have to take mine.

Yes, but I didn't ask if they could be racist against other white people for the color of their skin.

Bull-fucking-shit of the highest order (Well, not highest, but close to).

You're going on as if institutional racism (Prejudice+Power) is the only type that exists, when that's furthest thing from the truth, as individual racism (Prejudice) is just as powerful and prevalent within society. People who say that discrimination can't exist without power are honestly just looking for an excuse to be discriminatory and not be called on their shitty behavior.

It's not the only kind but it's the source for the other kinds. Institutional racism is the trunk while the others are branches. No trunk, no branch. POC do not have a trunk, white people do.

I can make analogies about trees too.

Racist individuals are at the root of racist institutions. No roots, no tree.

Fair point.

I was giving another example of intra-racial bigotry. Neither are instances of racism. Racism is something that happens between racial communities.

If racism can only happen between communities, then no individual is racist.

lol, no I don't.

Not so. Racial communities of course are composed of individuals which can both shape and are shaped by the overall community. Some communities have power, others do not. People belonging to the community with power can be racist since they can utilize the power granted to their community. It's not a strict individualist vs collectivist divide, which is why I understand it can be hard for liberals and right-wingers to understand where I am coming from.

Can you name me any powerless communities?

So what about white people accepted by the black community? Do they have original sin, or is it a matter of association? Is their blood too impure?

How many times has this popped up? This has to be the third or so time I've seen that question.
No, it's not, enough said. People have their own preferences for appearance and ethnicity, that's just how it is.

Bigotry based on race is by default, racism.

[Herador]

Dunno, it depends. If I think Latina girls are attractive and such, no. If I only date white women so as to not pollute the white race, then yeah, I'd have to say it sorta is.

POC communities within the United States, some posses less power than others. Some may even achieve having power. Do I think that will ever be the black community? Unlikely.

Depends on their actions. Though they will never fully understand since they will benefit from the systems in place.

Latino/Latina is considered white though...
