Of course, it doesn't apply to all of us, but...
Think about it honestly, isn't there a clear tendency of picking out the european-germanic-nordic-whatever it is features (I mean, white skin, blue eyes, blond hair, etc.) over all of the other?

Don't get me wrong, I do believe there are some hot black and asian fellows out there, but, as far as I know that has something to do with facial symmetry and the Fiboncacci number, rather than a cultural thing.

My point is, we, on average, become racist when it comes to sexual attraction. I'm not saying it's up to us, that we are the one to blame for our tastes (does anybody like things voluntarily, anyway?). But is this a matter of cultural legacy, about what we've been taught by society? If so, would that still count as racism? 

What do you guys think?
