Your “preference” is not a preference, it is racism. You have internalized negative ideas of black men and for that reason you claim they’re not your “preference.” A preference is saying you like guys with brown hair or guys with blonde hair. Crossing out millions of diverse men that come in all shapes, skin tones and sizes is absolutely positively 100% due to racist beliefs. You may not be aware of it, but it’s true. Now saying you prefer brown haired guys over blonde haired guys is a preference because you’re not putting down their race in the process. Learn the difference between preference and racism before you start voicing your harmful opinions.
