Default BBUS - Is this racist?

Brendon said something along these lines in a conversation with Lane and Enzo. When he first saw Monet, he was surprised that he thought she was attractive. That it was unusual, because he doesn't find black women to be attractive.

I'm not sure what to think of that comment. I think every group of people, have their good looking and not so good looking people, but to say that you were surprised to think someone was attractive, because they are from a certain race, is just wrong, no?

Meh, I wouldn't really say so. If it's not your cup of tea, you shouldn't be forced to drink it.

I can see how people would take offense though.

Monet was mixed race, so no, it wasn't racist.
I agree with Brendon though, she was a very beautiful girl.

I wouldn't consider it racist although I can see hwo it can be seen like that. It's no different from being attracted to different colour or styles of hair and body builds really, some people are more attracted to certain races then others. I doubt it has anything to do with Racism.

No? How is that racist? Some people don't find particular races sexually attractive. That doesn't make you racist. I don't find myself wanting to be with many black women or Native American women, that doesn't mean I hate them or that I'm a bigot.


People here are wayyyyyyyy too PC.

LMAO!!! WHat the hell?? Cmon man! I dont find that racist whatsoever. He happened to have never been attracted to black girls. And was surprised that he was attracted to Monet!! So?

Attraction isnt racism. Are you gonna say men not attracted to other men are homophobic? HOw about, I am not attracted to blondes, is that somehow racist?

I personally can be attracted to any types of girls, but I know a lot of people, lets say black guys, who arent attracted to white girls, and vice versa. And now that I think about it, have never been attracted to any Native american girl that I have ever seen. Doesnt mean I dont like them, or that I cant be attracted to one in the future.

And finally, maybe he hadnt met a black girl that he was attracted to, but obviously he can be, given that he is attracted to Monet.
