Their are numerous definitions for racism btw, it's a controversial term and you won't find one 'right' answer. It's also extremely context dependent. Maybe Jemima is a racist, who knows, I'm just saying that in this particular system 1) race wasn't the basis of her comments and 2) she's allowed to have a physical preference as to what she's attracted to. I've never dated an aboriginal girl in my life. If someone asked me what 'type' I usually date, and I was stupid enough to reply "dark skinned, but not aboriginal", would I be a racist?

You would be if the person you were talking to was aboriginal and you assumed they wouldn't date a white person, and told them so.
I have to laugh at how that one comment of J's is continually ignored and the rest of the conversation is used (which isn't relevant) to cloud the issue.
The 'you wouldn't date a white man' is the ONLY part of the convo which showed J was racist, and that is continually pointed out. Why bring up the irrelevant and not address the real elephant in the room? Eh?
