Weird Form of Racism

    Hey guys,

    I never ever considered myself as a racist and in my younger years I was vehemently anti-racism but I think I have actually become racist in the last few years. I don't have a problem with minorities but for some weird reason I go completely off a girl if I find out shes hooked up with a african guy in the past. For absolutely no reason something in my head clicks and I just think that shes slutty. Now obviously theres no reason to think like this, its actually utter stupidity but I can't stop it. No matter how hard I try I just can't regain interest in the girl. I have 2 african friends and I get on really well with them so I have no idea why this is. I know that is really strange but is it normal for someone to lose interest in a person for a really abstract reason or maybe its something more that I should see someone about?

    Yes you are probably racist.

    Even the racists in deep south of America 'got on' with African Americans. But they wold react fairly negatively at any attempt to involve them at a close personal level - i.e. relationship .or connection with family, etc.

    The very fact that you views and presumably actions, are governed by 'race' is, by definition, racism.

    Maybe time to examine your values?

    Hey OP,

    I wouldn't call you racist. The fact you have friends and socialise with people of other races would suggest that you are NOT racist. I have a theory (and I have zero evidence to back it up, just a theory) that perhaps white men are threatened by the fact that generally black men have larger penises*. Could it be that subconsciously you're intimidated by sleeping with a women that's slept with a black man or could it be that you equate a girl liking a bigger penis as slutty? Ergo, she slept with a black man, that means she likes big willies, that means she's a slut. Could it be something like that??? I'd say if you spend some time honestly thinking it out you could figure out what its' stemming from and maybe figure it out and fix it, you can see yourself that it's just silly.

    *Yes I know the Wikipedia page says they're all the same but the Lancet journal (written by scientists & Doctors) say that they are different sizes according to race, again all generalities and not hard and fast rules.

    For absolutely no reason something in my head clicks and I just think that shes slutty.

    So basically, a woman you could be interested in, presumably interested in to have sex with, is considered slutty if she was with an african man in the past.

    Id be more concerned about the sexism of this!!! Bit judgemental to assume a woman is slutty for a past relationship isnt it?

    It is a bit racist yeah in a passive way. Doesn't really matter though. Not causing anyone any harm if you rationalise it as being your own issue and dont treat anyone differently. It sounds like all that's happening is that you find yourself not attracted to someone you otherwise would be. Wouldn't see this as something to need counselling for.
