I think everyone has little preferences (I do like I said earlier) and that's ok.
The key word to me is "preference", to "prefer something" is - "this is what I usually like, but I'm open minded to other stuff". I tend to prefer darker features, but that doesn't mean I find blond hair/blue eyes unattractive by any means.
That's totally different to "I only date Asians" or "I don't date blacks". It's a problem when it becomes exclusionary and you completely write people off based on bullshit stereotypes, before you even talk to them.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
