Do you think it's racist?

We were having a conversation with a few friends about "What is your type of man?" of course this included physically and mentally. So one friend said she's into light complected guys, the whole blonde hair, colored eyes, nerdy and that they dress simple then she added she wasn't into darker skin guys. Another friend got upset and said you're racist.

I want to know what you guys think?

I stayed quiet and I didn't feel like getting into it but made me curious and made me think of having a preference on guys and skin color means being racist.

I don't want anyone to be rude about it I just want to know your thoughts on it without being rude. Thanks! 💕
