So my friend refuses to put minorities male appendices into her. Is she a racist?

Being violently against the notion of sleeping with someone solely because of their race does sound pretty racist.
It's one thing to say that you're not into red hair; it's something else to write off an entire race in one foul swoop.

Might want to start with light skin black dudes just to ease here into the transition. After that, the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice.

By read the thread I included read the first post as well in that statement. Which I took the first poster was asking as well. If you did, well... ok. If you didn't and just came in to reply to the thread topic, shame on you.

First mistake you made OP (besides the spelling mistake) was asking a question in your topic title. A good bit of the responses in this thread aren't even responding to your post, but the topic title. It's a good way to weed out people who don't read, but it's bad for discussion topics.
Now to answer your questions:
I seriously doubt she would have made those comments if there was a "non-white person" in the room with you two. So yes, I would say her comments were at the very least offensive. But you can't call her a "closet racist" just from those comments. That being said, that strong reaction she had towards you and the subject hints at her having other issues.
Based on her reaction, if you brought a "Beyonce style" woman around her she'd probably cut all ties with you first. But seriously I wouldn't cut ties with her if she's a good friend. Just use that situation as a way to teach her to be less offensive when expressing her opinions about her personal tastes. And yes, they are personal tastes (extreme ones, IMO, but personal tastes) and those alone shouldn't be an issue vs the way she expressed those tastes to you.

dunno, it just seems like it doesn't make sense to me to make such a strong statement about twinkies in somebody's armpits (lol) and that's "fine"
i guess that depends on how many fucks the individual gives about what they say and how they say it

I answered "no" to his first question, and partly to the second:
Going by the people repeating the same thing, or posting the same image/link, on various threads, I think there are quite many people who don't read the whole thread before posting.
I like my Asari green though.

Her comments do seem a bit strong. Maybe she just has an outspoken personality that makes her look like an insincere asshole sometimes, idk, some people are like that. I wouldn't stop being friends with her because of that unless it escalates to the point where it's uncormfortable for you, OP .

Coming from Texas to New York, I thought all Italians were Mexican for the first few months.

Most Mexicans are white.
My wife is Asian and im white, my friend constantly has to let me know that hes not "into" Asian women.. Was talking about how one of my partners friends thought he was good looking in a photo she seen and hes like "Shes not Asian is she?" in a really condescending tone, of course thats not the only time hes voiced his opinion, happens all the time. Really pissing me off..

I don't think it means that your friend is racist. It's quite possible, however, that she had racist parents who instilled deeply into her the idea that you're not supposed to date outside your race, or something of that nature. As long as she wouldn't treat men of other races differently outside of the boudoir, then hey, who cares?

She's the leader. Also Liara is ugly as fuck...the only Asari with eyebrows and she looks dumb. That is all

Live and learn. I can see she wouldn't want an extra appendix though.

what my homie said. I've met plenty of girls who wasn't fond on interracial dating too.
I have a thing for girls with lily white skin. If an african american, asian, hispanic or any other raced girl managed to pull off that look I'd be down. Also redheads.I've met some who have.
I know myself. I'm pretty self aware. I don't have a method to convince people on the internet that it's not motivated by race, but rather aesthetics.
People can either believe me, or assume the worst. That all depends on their cynicism and bias towards drama.
I mean, I used find Lisa Bonet very sexy growing up. Big part of my youth...

Mass Effect isn't REAL, REAL asari would be way more masculine.

I just thought of something. It's real simple but I think it has to do with experience with our race. Look, black people can be pretty "ghetto", blunt and loud. I definitely have the brutal honesty trait. So I guess I can see a person stating they hate a certain race based on a few interactions with the lower end of a certain race.
I feel sorry for them actually. I am lucky or at least open minded enough to have interacted with the lower and high ends of a lot of different races. So it is almost impossible for me to be put off to an entire race because I ran into the one Japanese(insert any race)person that happens to be a uber douche. Cool people are cool people no matter the race. I wish more people were able to figure that out before they started to breed and pass on these weird morals that should no longer exist.
Um...you just did the same as OP...lol. White = Italians, Hispanics=Latinos...haha
Italians are from Italy so White people are from?

Force the girl to move to a place with no white men say India in this unrealistic example. Being stuck there assuming she was not asexual I am sure she would let an Indian's appendage in her hole eventually. I think the same would go for all people.

Honesty.
Yeah, she's a bit racist.
If that was her only bit of racism, she'd probably rank about 3 out of 7 on a scale of racism, with 7 been a KKK, lynch mob kinda racist.
But it's probably just a tip of the proverbial iceberg on her racial attitudes. I suspect this is true for many people.
On the flipside, it's certainly normal to have appearance preferences, where skin tone and facial (and to a lesser extent, bodily) characteristics that affect attraction - which also happen to be prevalently grouped into what we identify as racial groups.
In my case - I don't rule people of any race out, but I would be lying if I said that skin colour/complexion didn't modify the standard of appearance required for attraction.

Saying you find sex with another ethnicity disgusting suggests some type of prejudice on her part.
Women are effin' beautiful. If you're a dude and you'd disqualify an entire race, you're doing the whole male thing wrong, get your head checked.
