How the heck is a preference in who you date "racism"? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. People have strong preferences over all sorts of superficial things - body type, hair color, hair style, breast size, height, etc. Is it really so hard to believe that someone's preference for XXXX skin tone is just as shallow as their preference for YYYY hair color? (I've yet to see a commenter to a survey showing men prefer blonds point to it as evidence of some deep seated prejudice/hatred said men have towards women of other hair colors.)
