#racial preferences
POC not wanting to date white people because of a history of colonization and systematic powers of oppression, fear of or weariness over casual and blatant racism, and/or the lack of a shared culture is NOT that same as white people not wanting to date POC because of caricatures that they created, stereotypes that they mock and replicate, and their own racism–whether they think they’re racist or not.
In short: POC are not and cannot be racist for not wanting to date white people. Whereas white people are just plain racist for their so called “preferences.”
