Eh, what a weak sentence. Passive voice allows the writer here to say something as if it were fact without backing it up or specifying who considered. 'People' here likely means the author himself, and his attempt to provide a rationale for his own preference (or bigotry?) is only justified in his mind by an apparent bandwagon - one which the general reddit audience could probably approve of. So, rendering the guy's sentence into an active process: Yay grammar. Shucks, I feel sorry for the guy, because that really takes "there's other fish in the sea" and turns it into a pretty small fishbowl. Yeah, it's shortsighted to categorically put a potential partner (or hire, for that matter) through a process of elimination based on things they can't control, but people do it. What I'm trying to say is don't get stung by the hive mind. The internet provides a wonderful place to anonymously discuss sensitive subjects, but you gotta take it in stride. There are shitlords everywhere."Black women are considered the least desirable women to date, it sucks but that's what people think and I don't like it and I don't know why."

They were probably talking about this blog post or a related article which actually breaks down the statistics of online dating site replies (on okcupid specifically) by race. This diagram shows what he was probably talking about: Of course I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt, he could be a complete shithead.
