Why is it wrong to specify racial traits in potential partners to get specific genes for your future children?

Because its racist? Im pretty sure my wife married me because I have a massive schlong and its part of evolution so her future children can put out fires in the cave or some shit or dick slap a sabre tooth. Science and shit.

I don't think it's wrong to desire certain traits in a partner, even when it comes to appearance. Our coloring/race is part of that appearance. It's just a preference, completely harmless.

It's only wrong if you bring fetishism or prejudice into it.

For example, if a white guy likes Asian women that's fine. But if he stereotypes them as submissive, sex objects that's a messed up fetish.

Or a black woman might only date within her race-cool. But that doesn't mean she gets to talk shit about white guys, that's prejudice.

I chose my wife for specific reasons. One of them being that different races combine to reduce their own genetic weaknesses. The net result being healthier children. I have seen this ring true over the years in my own children. That said, if my preference would have been otherwise, I would have loved my children no differently.

I don't think its racist. We call all sorts of silly things racist anymore. If I wanted kids, I'd want white kids. Healthy, fit, tall strong intelligent white kids. Am I racist? Nope. Not at all. I want what I want.

Women are entitled to have "preferences", men aren't---according to women.

Its not. It just makes people uncomfortable.

It's just one of three thousand million things a woman will not say upfront.
