So if I prefer strawberry ice cream over vanilla, that makes me a racist?
:eek1: wut
Let's not fight ignorance with ignorance.
Humans who lived in different areas of the world for thousands of generations adapted certain phenotypes that were advantageous to the conditions in those places. Recognizing that different races exist (subgroups of people based on appearances) is not racist, any more than it is sexist to recognize that there are two different genders or that there are certain differences or similarities between or within those groups.
This has nothing to do with racism, which is saying, "this race is superior to that race," or, "these people should be treated differently because of their race," or, "people of different races should not interbreed or intermarry."
Denying the obvious fact that people are different only fosters the idea that it is somehow "bad" for people to be different. It is every bit as ignorant as the racism it attempts to fight.
You are confusing taste with racism. Is it racist to like one kind of candy bar more than another? Is it racist to have a favorite color? Is it racist to like one song more than another, or to (gasp) dislike certain genres of music? Is it really necessary to extend this list?
