Well
@Fruitbat I haven't seen the posts you're referring to but I do think the written word in general (texts, email, postings on the internet) can be ambiguous, taken out of context and misunderstood. I've seen that happen a lot on forums like this, and calling someone a "racist prick" doesn't help matters either.
Also there is a difference between race and ethnicity. Your race is determined by shared distinctive physical traits (black, white, brown) while your ethnicity is determined based on the social and cultural groups you belong to - German, Spanish, Asian, Polish, American, etc.
So the issue here has nothing to do with racism or someone being racist.
You're not "different" for preferring foreign/ethnic women, I'm pretty open about who I date too. I'd say most people are.
I've done a lot of traveling to foreign countries and I embrace the diversity; I find people fascinating from all ethnic and racial groups.
I've never dated outside my race (ethnicity yes but not race) but that's probably only because such men are not within my extremely broad social circle and I haven't had an opportunity to meet as many.
