I know now to stay away from dating people who have any trace of racism towards me. I don’t understand why this happens though. Just that there’s a corelation.

      It can be, but it is not necessarily always the case. I guess I should’ve specified that clearly. Race fetishism alone, even without such an obsessive hatred precipitating it, is still a form of racism. I see aggressive racial hatred and racial fetishism as stemming from the same mentality—an objectifying or degrading one—either way, no different than how sexually objectifying women, be it in a performative “nice guy” fashion or in the manner of some manosphere bro, is in and of itself misogynistic. On the surface, they may just appear to manifest in different ways.
