I really hear you: You are worried about his taste in women because you think it’s unfair for someone to dismiss a whole group of people based on warped ideas about race and beauty. So, let me begin by reassuring you that women of colour will be fine without him.
One of the common mistakes white people make is to overestimate their importance in the lives and imaginations of people of colour. Racism matters, and microaggressions are important because they often impede our ability to function in the world with ease by stopping us from conducting basic activities like driving, shopping, or even just walking down the street.

So this is an agony aunt letter in the Guardian (Where else?)
the opening paragraph of the letter is:
How can I help my white friend understand that his “preference” to only date white women is racist? Can I persuade him to at least be a bit more open minded?
Now, does the responsible person who runs this column bother to explain that no, it is not racist to fancy who you do (Nor is it sexist either)
But they double down on this stupidity by backing up the writer's bull.

I mean...get stuffed¬! How bloody dare you talk about white people like this.
If you arent one shut up about them.
Isnt that what you people crow about whenever one of your racial group gets criticised for anything?
(and yes I said you people ironically)
What next will there be a government inspector coming round to make sure your dating history is properly diverse?

Romans 1:18-32 --
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Romans 2:
14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

But, no, I don't think that the gov't is going to tell people whom to have sex with. The gov't wants to tell you to sit at home with your VR headset on and wank off while they make babies in laboratories.
