Is this seriously a thing in the USA? Jesus fucking christ.

People are generally attracted to the same race. Simple evolution. For millions of years we have been primed to trust and like people who resemble ourselves. Every single fucking animal on Eart has this. Because of this simple biological, evolutionary fact, most people are attracted to someone they resemble. Hence, it's no fucking surprise most people tend to marry and procreate with someone of their own race. Again, simple biology. Now, when someone deviates from this completely logical and evolutionary norm, it is a thing worth mentioning. Some people, as a result of our changing culture and social norms over the millenia, as well as just simple individual preferences coincidentally not coinciding with evolutionary norms (which is fine), do not adhere to this and are mainly attracted to another race. When this is the case, I think it's a perfectly normal thing to mention, since most people, by default, are attracted to the same race and would therefore logically assume others are as well. The core point isn't racist, it's stating that you deviate from an established norm.

Stop fucking racializing things that don't have to be racialized. OP, in my eyes you are right in not understanding it. It's not a bad thing. Goddamn society is going crazy sometimes.
