I can see that, logically, if someone was a survivor of cancer/chemo. But still.

Or if they just have a phobia, or lost it MJ style.

Oh welp, I'm a rapist. Guess I should just admit it to myself and get on with my life..

Looking at that Scummy-World chick's blog, I'm fairly certain she's a troll. She's way too over the top.

No, darling, it's not the same.

The thing is when a few people of color say they don't date white people out of preference, white people say the exact same thing. Just saying. It's a hypocritical response to be pissed a person of color for that response and not do the same for the many white people who do the same.

Assuming this isn't a troll... how, exactly, can you be both trans-racial and otherkin? Are you a fantasy creature trapped in the body of an Asian/black/etc. person trapped in the body of a white person?

No, darling, it's not the same.

Think about it like this: Person A says that he only wants to have sex and/or relationship with white people or Estonian people or red heads or people who don't smoke or whatever.

Even if one or more of those limits are considered "racist" what are you going to do about it? Say that he does not have a right to discriminate and order that of a non-white/non-Estonian/etc. person wants to have sex with person A then person A does not have the right to deny that? Because racism?

I'm sure that some of the people who say that they would have a preference on who they would go out with ARE racist, but unless you are willing to take away their control over their own body there is nothing you can do. (And that certainly sounds like something some of the "niceguys" have been suggesting.)

Are you fucking serious? So, wanting your child to not have to deal with the struggles of being born with a serious medical condition makes you a bad person now?

[gyeonghwa]

The question is why do your personal parameter exist? For example lets look at grindr. Guys who say they block all Asians because Asian men are submissive (a racial stereotype), feminine (a racial stereotype), twinkish (a racial stereotype). It's obvious that that person believes  in a racial type-casting of Asian men. It's not the same as saying dating a non-smoker because you want to avoid secondhand smoke.

Now the interesting thing is that this is also the same side of the coin as racial fetishes, like dating Asians specifically because of those racial stereotype.

The way I see it, when it comes to a romantic or sexual partner, that's the one area where you are allowed to be discriminatory, for various compatibility reasons. You might call that way of thinking problematic or whatever, but I think it'd be hard to make a relationship work where one party either doesn't find the other attractive for whatever arbitrary reason or if they have nothing in common interest-wise. Some people have hangups about stupid things, or very specific interests when it comes to sexuality. (also there's the fact that if a person actually is prejudiced against a certain ethnicity/orientation/what-have-you for whatever reason, people who are part of that ethnicity/whatever don't want to be dating said person anyway, I'd think.

[gyeonghwa]

I agree though. You should have preferences for compatibility reasons, but one should question the basis of those preferences from time to time. The person being quoted in post could have a valid reason for their preference. What irked me was Brain Fritz dismissive response because there really are a lot of people out there (cross racial boundries) who think race X is ugly based entirely on stupid stereotypes and dismiss it as "just a preference". Like I mentioned, grindr is plenty evidence of that.

Moving on: You know what's awesome? Being accused of being ableist for saying homophobes are ignorant. Because I'm apparently belittling other people's cognitive differences by stating their ideas are inferior to others.
