Gay guys react to shocking racism on Grindr
DOMINUS saidRacism, classism, elitism--all the "isms"--are a fact of life and they will continue to be a fact of life for as long as there are human differences. While I don't condone "racist" social media profiles, I prefer overt (vs covert) racism. At least I know with whom/what I'm dealing.
mar0302 said I understand preferences, but I find the whole thing a bit odd.. there are hot guys of every race, background and religion.. I have a mate that's half black that won't even look at black guys.... his mum is black.. and when i suggested he's got some sort of internalised s**t going on, he said if he ever brought home a black guy his mum would be disappointed in him. Seriously, that's messed up.

I do not understand "preferences". "Preferences" is nothing more than a racist person trying to hide behind a euphemism.
When I hear someone has a preference it is simply they have a preference for an ethnicity and not a characteristic that transcends all ethnicities. Isn't that the definition of racism?
mar0302 saidI understand both comments.. but racism doesn't have to be malicious to be racist.. people can have good intentions but have learned something that's racist and not understand the impact.. similar to when people say "that's so gay"..
