I won't vote in this poll, because it's not a good representation of the choices at all. In fact I think it's rather odd to call someone "beautiful" or "downright unattractive" in conversation at all.

Nobody can be offended because I didn't name any names. If you take offense you are admitting you are a sick freak who kicks puppies. Also, I'm just being honest.

Love me!

I'm a sick freak who kicks cats, does that count?

This, oh yes. And Jethro Gibbs. And Sheriff Lamb of Veronica Mars lore.

I mean, If I prefer hazel eyes, or long brown hair, or men does that mean I'm prejudiced to people who don't fit those? I think the whims of your libido are generally so irrational that to say that someone who is more turned on by white people is not racist, just as some one who is either homosexual or heterosexual is not sexist.

This is pretty much what I wanted to say.

Why does there need to be a positive effect? Stating your own opinion/preference is mostly for its own sake and not others' anyway, and since conversation started moving in that direction I didn't find pop's comment out of place or inappropriate at all.

Why? Also, why do you assume that these preferences are based on societal stereotypes rather than your personal sense of aesthetics?

What I don't understand is why it's something to be ashamed of when you're racist.

Yeah, sure. I'm comfortable with having slight prejudice against gypsies for instance, since experience has proven me right.

EDIT: although "racist" is the wrong term here, I think. I don't judge by race, I judge by cultural background.

I support the switch away from Rihanna. I particularly support the switch to Aishwarya Rai.

Molly C Quinn, plays daughter of Richard Castle in the new "murder he wrote" series Castle.

Cursory search didn't yield info on her age, but I would say she qualifies for "girl".

Nah, they basically just changed the gender.
