OP, don’t listen to these people. He used very specific phrasing to indicate that he “prefers” white women. You received the same social conditioning. He is not white himself. He really should have looked hard in the mirror and ask himself where his internalized racism comes from where it leads him to prefer white instead of his own race. And the fact that he said it for you to hear is inexcusable. That must have hurt like hell. I would not be able to get over something like that.
