Hmm, I like how every conversation about race depends on whether it's "racist" or not. Let's ask another question in place of "is this racist?"
Is this bad? Is your girlfriend compelled to ignore race as a factor in sexual attraction? Nope. Is this racism, under the definition of "discrimination against a person because of their race?" Yes, she's passively discriminating on those grounds. But that does not make it a hate crime in the slightest. We have a tendency to doublethink, because it has been so deeply ingrained into our thought patterns that anything possibly racist cannot be acceptable. It's time to wise up to a truth which some may find it hard to swallow. Yes, this sort of thing is racist, but it's ok. Most people do it, and all we do is deny it.
