The comments on my post at The Frisky.

1. If you are comparing the practice of saying “I do not date x race because I don’t find people of x race attractive” to saying “I don’t date women because I happen to prefer men”, you clearly have zero point zero zero understanding of sexuality and the social construct of race.

2. Comparing the practice of only dating someone who is of your religion to the practice of only dating someone who is of your race is faulty. You must realize that one is about intrinsic value systems and beliefs. Though there is much diversity within a given religion, to call yourself a Taoist or Methodist or Wiccan is to say “I subscribe to these certain beliefs.” The same is not true of race. Yes, there are values and behaviors that may or may not generally be a part of the x race community but there is nothing intrinsic about x race that says “these people are this way or that” - but comparing religion to race tells me that this is how you think of race and therefore you are a RACIST and need to remove your person from the area of my face.
