What you said there was cool. It's basically what I said/meant to express, only worded differently. As far as I'm concerned, you didn't jump on me.

Indeed, like you said, I don't think it's racist at all to have an opinion-based preference on physical appearance. That's natural, and everyone in the world has them, whether it's on a conscious or subconscious level.

>So maybe it would be wrong to say "white babies are more beautiful than Mexican babies" if you meant that as an objective standard that everyone should agree to. But if you simply mean that you find white babies more appealing than Mexican babies, that's an expression of personal opinion on an objective distinction, and I don't see anything wrong with it. Just don't say it in front of the Mexican baby's mother... that still wouldn't be racist, but it would be terribly rude.

-That was what I meant to say, exactly.

In fact, I can't really find a spot in this entire thread where our expressed opinions differ.

>Lire"and yes, there can be an ugly baby, I've met some of those too... but even ugly babies are cute"lyn

That's true. ^_^

You will notice that what I say and what I mean are sometimes a tiny bit different.
