I have a hard time making the jump from ‘he/she prefers a partner from the same ethnic group’ to ‘then he/she must be racist’. That is a disconnect I just cannot seem to get over.

Periapt probably has no control over his racial preferences, and most people prefer their own, whether they want to admit it or not.* That being said, guys like periapt and Brad don’t annoy me half as much as people who will say “everyone except black” or “everyone except Asian”, even choosing groups that it’s obvious that they’ve had extremely scant contact with before they’ll choose someone from those two groups.
*However, “repulsed/repulsive” is racist and needlessly insulting language to use to describe your preference, full stop.
“Why is it that I always see girls with red lights and guys making threads complaining about girls not replying?”
Hypocrisy and/or the guys who get lots of messages are not the same guys who complain about girls not replying. Also, in a world where women are inundated with the notion that guys will eagerly respond to any woman that’s kind of attractive, women aren’t going to want to admit that they don’t get responses, and when they do, the thread will consist almost solely of “it’s because you’re ugly/fat/not showing enough tit” instead of helpful ways to change her approach. You may just notice the women with red lights more than the others… that’s probably why they have red lights in the first place.
