My bad:

Most people's dating preferences? Still sexist.

Better?

I can't choose what I'm attracted to. And you of all people should be able to understand that. Being attracted to a certain skin tone is no different than being attracted to a certain gender. And that's no different than having some sexual fetish. It all falls in line in the same way. You can't choose what you are attracted to.

That's why I'm so chill with the LGBT community. They can't choose who they are attracted to and neither can I. No need to judge because of that.

Please explain how I can "choose" who I'm attracted to. Isn't that the whole argument the LGBT community is trying to make? That you can't? It's not like I can magically just be turned on by anything.
