Does this make me racist?? I mean seriously!!?

Okay on a daily basis I'm hit on by black and white guys. But here's the thing: One I'm not single so they have no chance and two I don't date black guys. Its not that I think their nasty or hate them or anything like that. I was just raised on the belief of not mixing races (black, white, Mexican, etc..) Well I keep getting called racist for it. I have plenty of friends who are black and I have nothing against black people but I just wont date them. Why does people think that makes me racist?

Update:

Also how is it ignorant? I'm a Christian and the bible preaches not to mix races. Its my preference and if you think I'm stupid for it then so be it. It's normal.

    They call you racist because they are ignorant. Everyone has things they are into and things they are not into. You are not turned on by black men and there is nothing wrong with that. You do not have to do anything to prove you are not a racist. Those people making the racist comments are just ignorant and small minded and cant see the forest through the trees.

    No it does not! You can't help who you're attracted to. I'm never attracted to anyone beside those in my own race (white) and I was also raised on the belief of not mixing races.

    If a came home with a black dude (which I wouldn't) I would probably be kicked out my parent's house.

    Some ignorant people will say my family is racist, but I don't believe this is the case. It's just a preference.

    I think if you're telling people that you don't believe in mixing races, it could be considered racist. If you just kept it simple to something like "It's just my preference" people wont care. For some reason beliefs and race don't mix very well together these days.

    No not at all . It's no different then not liking someone because that person is really ugly (no offence)No one wants to date an ugly person so what if u don't have an attraction to black people not racist . I be had the same problem tell them to go screw themselves cause you are not racist at all I'm only 12 and I said this to there face . Just don't let them get to u (impossible ) try not to .

    You are free to date whomever you choose. It's your preference. You don't even need to give a reason besides the most important one. You have a boyfriend. So if someone does ask why you aren't going after a black guy, you can just say you have a bf and leave it at that.

    It's not racist. It's your preference. Being racist is when you actually hate an entire race.

    Wouldn't call you racist for who you choose to date just stupid for explaining why you don't date a particular race especially if you're not available.
