I think it's just your preference. Unless you said, oh I only like black guys because of such and such reason and white guys are all this then probably yeah. Without those comments, it's your choice.
So what, you can't be called a racist. Is there a law which tells you to like everyone? It's more of a moral thing, treat everyone with respect but you like certain kind of people.
Thats not racist at all. You know what you like. I have never dated a black man before, mainly because my parents were always a little racist, but I keep an open mind, and if a black man wanted to ask me out, I would just because I I don't want to be narrow minded.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
