I think those of you that are replying here are confusing racism and racial preference. A desire to want to associate with others like you, based on whatever defining characteristic that you choose...that seems fairly natural - I'll agree with that.

Racism, however, is not simply wanting to identify or associate with your ethnicity, but a belief that some natural trait of a given ethnicity makes anyone born of that ethnicity good or bad, better or worse, specifically in relation to another ethnicity. This, I do not believe, is natural or good. That is my personal opinion and belief, feel free to agree or disagree with me.

You can prefer to associate primarily with one group over another, or one ethnicity over another, without believing something inherently negative about any others. I simply do not see how holding this perspective in life will contribute to a more free, safe, and happy society. Hate is a dangerous thing.
