I thought I'd throw in my .02345235 cents and reply to this interesting thread. I'm all about being liberal and anti-racist, but attraction really isn't a choice. Some people might find dark skin, light skin, etc to simply not be aesthetically pleasing. Just like some guys like girls with big boobs, some girls like guys with huge pecs. Sure, it might sound offensive to say something like "I don't find asian girls attractive" (which I don't see how that could be possible ) but it may just be a personal preference totally devoid of any racism/bigotry. I could probably probe deeper and ask a general question like how much of our personal preferences when choosing a mate are generated or influenced by popular media... However, when people say "whites should only date whites" or something equally nonsensical is when I have a problem. There may be no ostensible difference between choosing a SO solely based on aesthetic preference and choosing a SO solely based on fallicious concepts of racial purity/superiority... but I think that a person has a right to not date blonde guys because they find blonde hair unattractive.
