racism

Is it racist to only feel attraction to my own race?

A. Rose asks:

A friend of mine told me I was a racist because I'm not attracted to people who aren't of the same race as me. I don't really know why this is, I'm just not attracted to them. My friends are from many different backgrounds so I don't think that I am a racist. Is it weird to only be attracted to people that are the same race as me?

Would we make a spotted baby?

Guerra asks:

I know you guys mostly deal with questions about sex and whatnot, but I figure maybe you can help me here, too. I'm a white female, and my boyfriend is Mexican. I told my friend I wanted to have a baby with him. She immediately came back with a response that our baby would be ugly and spotted because I'm white and he's Mexican. Is that true? Can my baby turn out "spotted" because of our heritages being completely different?
