Your Dating 'Type' May Be Crossing A Line Into Prejudice

Being attracted to certain traits in people is fine, but discounting an entire group of people? Not cool.

How many times have you heard yourself say, "They're just not my type"?

Whether you're into bad boys, funny girls or your complete opposite, chances are you have some preferences when it comes to sex and relationships. Who you like is who you like, and that's totally okay, but how do we know when our preferences cross the line into prejudices?

You may have heard people describe their type in physical terms: "I love tall guys" or "I'm really into redheads."

But when someone says, "I don't date Asians," or "I'm only into skinny chicks," that's not a preference: that's straight up discriminatory.
