Funny, I was just about to comment about that. I read an article promoting awareness on sexual racism especially on dating apps. I'll just highlight several interesting points here.
The author basically suggests that we try sleeping with people who we normally don't find attractive. Speaking from my own experience, l have to agree with him. I met this Egyptian Arab guy when I was there last month. He was chubby, which normally isn't my type, but he was also hairy, which is my type. I was a bit reluctant to meet him at first, but I met him anyway because I was curious. Part of the curiosity was on his place, cause he mentioned he lives alone, and I wanted to see how an Egyptian's house looks like. I'm glad that I met him as he was a very nice guy, our chemistry was off the chart, and it definitely widened my sexual preference. I like big guys now, provided that they're hairy. [emoji11]
Well,it wasn't technically a race thing, but you get my point. On the other hand, I've had an encounter with a Malaysian Sinhalese guy (they're a major ethnic in Sri Lanka, basically South Asian) and it didn't work out despite our chemistry as I couldn't get passed the whole dark skin tone thing, but I'm still opening myself to possibilities. Maybe I just haven't met the right dark guys. [emoji53]
Quote:If our sexual preferences have had an ethnic or racial bias, we should challenge ourselves to confront those limits and, if we can, exceed them.

Racism in the sexual and romantic parts of our lives is what we’re calling “sexual racismâ€Â.
Racism seems to be more acceptable there because we have fought so many battles over our right to our sexual preferences, many men hold their sexual preferences as sacred – even if they contradict other beliefs they may have. This is confusing because some people who abhor racism in general life still behave in a racist way in their sex life.

Sometimes, we think we’re not into one type of guy, but then we meet that one guy that blows our preconceptions out of the water. Unless, we protect ourselves from ever meeting him. If we never really have opportunities to meet, get to know and get to appreciate guys with different kinds of bodies, different looks, different faces, how will we ever know if we could have found them sexy.
