This is probably so they’ll look like more attractive and open-minded candidates… to other people of their own race. lol. That kind of rampant BSing is why people often aren’t believed when they bring this up independently — because they’re the only ones that feel the invisible wall. Hm… perhaps something can be done where the filter isn’t public, but is there, and interested parties can search based on it — I don’t think that many white guys will be working that hard to figure out if the white woman they’re interested in shuns Latinos, but it would definitely help out Latin guys if they could immediately know that she and other women with her preferences are out of the running once the filter is turned on.

People shouldn’t conflate “racism” with “bigotry”. These numbers indicate a high degree of racism, but not an explicitly malevolent or conscious driving force behind it. The vast majority of human history has been founded on clannish tribal identities, and believing that just because we have the Internet and college educations and iPhones and crap means we’re suddenly above that subconscious history is flat out dumb.
However that doesn’t make it acceptable. Claiming that you do not like people with certain ethnic features is the freaking textbook definition of racism and people need to face it.

I always love when I come across this type of research and polls that once again reveal that lots of people are racist. Yet people will always deny it and find excuses. At least now people have moved on from the “One of my best friends is black.” excuse.
Some people need to just accept that they are full of racial bias and actively discriminate against certain races. After accepting that maybe then they can begin to consciously do something about the snap judgments their mind creates.
