No. I am very much a CIS only kind of guy. Now would I abuse them or be mean? No. But sexual attraction is all about preferences. As a black guy here, will I be offended because some women do not want to date a black man? No. Their preference. Same here.
Does the reason why they don't want to date a black man matters?
Yes and no.
How so? Could you give some examples of reasons that would and reasons that wouldn't matter? I'm not sure what these would be, but something tells me that we might find the reason for someone's preference against NB might be similarly important as someone's preference to not date a black man 🤔
Matters: they won't date black people because they think black people aren't people.
Doesn't matter: they're just not sexually attracted to black people.
Like, I'm not interested in Hispanic women. Not because I have an issue with Hispanic people, but because the physical features common to the ethnicity don't do it for me.
