Are you delusional? I have just told you that you misinterpreted me and you are blatantly ignoring that.
I stated what I
thought you said, and then said if this was incorrect to please clarify your actual position, and you call me delusional for it? Yeah ok.

"undeserving of radical accusations and contempt" is the key. You haven't justified why other qualities are exempt. i.e. why we shouldn't inclusively berate anyone for their preference on anything, if we are to do this for race. It currently reeks of
special pleading.
So your point is that only people who are bone everything or fridge cold are "undeserving of radical accusations and contempt" by the standard I'm positing? The problem is this is your interpretation of what I said, and then I interpretation what you were saying about me on top of that, which is where the confusion came in I suppose.
In that regard, I'll just respond to your main thrust that I'm asking that you make an "except" for race. Notice I've consistently posted about hair and eye color preferences, as well as skin tone, and even weight most recently. I'm an equal opportunity fighter, especially when people are making their decisions not based on any interaction that they've had, but on a series of stereotypes from the media and peer groups.
That is that everyone who's blonde is a slutty bimbo, that everyone who is fat is an unhealthy stinky lard boat, that everyone who is black is criminal, ect. And that
because of these reasons (consciously or unconsciously) and not because of any actual experience or even actual reasoning at all, they are unattractive to them. This is odd, even when people in these X group hit all of the criteria they've otherwise set out. That is if they didn't identify as "black" or "Asian" or ect. then they'd likely be interested.
As for why we shouldn't berate anyone for their other choices? I'm not saying we shouldn't, especially when it results in "rules" about an entire group, and the decisions are not made on an individual basis.
That's my point, when it's to the point of exclusivity of an entire group and not made on a case by case basis.
Secondly, and I'll post on this more later, to act like race is equivalent to any of the other suggested groups, as if it's something that's just 'pasted on yey' like someone's dye job, is ridiculous. We went through a lot of trouble as a country to make race an actual "thing", so its not a social group equal to blonde hair. Race has actual meaning and implications in this country when it comes to outcomes like it or not. So NO you can't just treat people's race as if it's their hair color.(and that's something quite frankly, whites are want to do. That is they don't have to think about their race on a regular basis, so they think it has no meaning or very little effects to everyone else, when that is frankly not at all the case.)
If you are wondering about special pleading, it's because at the end of the day race IS different, a special case, as compared to eye color bro. And unlike you, I don't have the luxury of pretending my race is like the fact my eyes are brown now instead of blue.
