Finding a certain race unattractive?

LONG: QUESTION FOR POLL AT THE END : So I was talking with a group of friends about what we find attractive in a guy/girl , and one of the girls said they would never date a black man because they just don't find black men attractive ( this started a shit storm argument very quickly ) and everyone started going back and forth about how that's racist and also how that's no racist. Here is the argument she gave " it's just like if you don't find someone with brown eyes attractive , or guys with small lips , I just have a certain taste , I personally don't find black men attractive so that makes me a rascist? What if a black woman sat here and said " I could never date a white man because I don't find them attractive " I bet there wouldn't have even been an argument then ".  It then continued to go on and ended up just being dropped. So this is the question  , are you a rascist if you wouldn't date someone because of the color of there skin because it's just not what you find attractive ?
