    I hope not, I was never attracted to them either!

    It's important to realize that the links posted reveal that without exception all of them are regarding workshops or speeches given and not part of curriculum, they are voluntary where people are giving their opinion and nothing more. Thus the school is not teaching what you claim; merely allowing people to give their opinion only.

    I’ve never heard a real person make that argument.

    No one claimed that it was "curriculum", the claim was that he'd never heard the statement from the left that only white people can be racist. And Google and MTV are pretty major players to be making/implying that statement.

    I don't get people who won't date a certain race. There are hot people of all races. I'd date a hot black chick.

    Racism, by definition, requires you to adopt the belief that your race is superior to others.

    Having a preference to a persons characteristics does not make one a racist, unless you want to suggest that people who prefer a certain hair color or body type are also racists.

    Racism, quite frankly, has lost its actual meaning.

    Everyone has a bias and assumptions about everyone. To save time and effort most people profile people when determining compatibility with friendships and romance. Also same here (I'd date an attractive girl of another race), but another thing; on average, black chicks are not as attractive to me as, "on average" a girl the same race as me. That's just how it is, and it is mostly just a purely biological determining factor.

    But yeah, it's not racist, racism would imply you see another race as lesser than the first.

    Okay, it's an opinion piece and nothing else. How about those cookies?
