Hi Judge,
If you really wanted people to read this article you would name the site and date the interview is posted on. Or even better, copy and paste a link to the exact article and post the link here. I actually copied the title of the article as you wrote it, along with the name of the author. And once I put it in my search engine I did not find it anywhere. It just showed multiple sites wherever the author's name was remotely mentioned. And I'm not going to wade into an endless list of various sites sites looking for a needle in a haystack. lol

This topic reminded me of how a number of people have heavily criticized a former model here, Paul Canon, as being racist. That came to mind when I ran across a tweet from Paul who was commenting on how the extremely handsome Black man who was working out at the gym he was working out had made his exercise routine all that much more agreeable. Not the sort of comment I would associate with a racist.
Thanks Mikey.Zachary Sire has apparently really gone after PC and Damien Kyle online for being racists. I saw articles to that affect when trying to find the one Judge wanted us to read.

I was watching a preview of a new Paul Canon Olympics based video on men and in the comment section below one person kept calling him a racist. Maybe it was the same person??? I don't remember the name. So silly to equate sexual attraction with racism, but we've been down this road before.
The phrase " It's just a preference" is just an intellectual dodge. It is Racist in intent & horribly offensive. And in regards to Paul Canon, Damien Kyle & some of their questionable comments....... Let's just say for argument sake that their intentions were not racist . Then they are incredibly naive. When one enters the public eye & puts themselves out there then they must also be ultra vigilant about what they say. Once you've put it out there in a quote its out there. And it's nobody's responsibility except the Celebs. No matter what level in the biz they are. From Porn Actor to Academy Award winner its up to the individual to be clear about comments that they make. And some of their comments were offensive. And like anyone else( Whether we think they are" Hot" or not) they must accept the consequences of their actions.
He feels passionately about drawing attention to the problem in the industry. And...... There IS a problem in the industry.

I've said this before as this subject isn't new on the forum. I'm half Native Indian and half Hispanic and have no sexual interest in either one and that doesn't make me a racist it's my own sexual preference. I like white boys primarily and that's that!!! My Mother is full blooded Indian and at 78 yo she has seen racism at it's best, but she raised us to be proud of who you are and what you are because living as a victim in society isn't living. More people should do that.......
Acknowledging inequities in the "Standards of Beauty" & how that manifest itself on many levels is an important topic. It is in fact a real & ever present element in American life. Recognizing that & talking about does not make one a victim. It has never been & is still NOT a level playing field........ Not in action or perception. Quite the opposite. Just because a topic makes some uncomfortable does not make it non existent. I think it's very hard for Whites to admit that there are inequities is because then they might have to run straight into the bit of knowledge that they are NOT always superior the system has been stacked to give that illusion. It's hard to realize that the other guys may have had to work twice as hard to not get as far. That's a sobering reality. For some.........

Thank you AG and as Peter said this discussion has taken place many times over the years on this forum. All we can do is explain our rational. If others want to perceive our point of view as racist, there is nothing we can do but agree to disagree. There are several non white guys on this forum who agree that sexual preference is not prejudice, whether it's a preference for an age group, a body type, a gender or a masculine or feminine type of guy among other preferences sexually, but again we can only state our position and let it rest at that.

nice opinion but no sale, judge. There are numerous factors that impact one's personal preference in sexual partners. Some people want a very specific body type, ie bears, gym bunnies, swimmer build, dimples, sexy feet, whatever. Some are turned on by blonds, red heads or no hair. Some like boys who are so white you need sunglasses around them to prevent snow blindness. Some are turned on by darker skin. Some like me are far more turned on by someone who has a great personality and the ability to speak in words of more than one syllable. Some want "dumb" jocks. And yes there are no doubt some people who are racist and based upon the racism will not have anything to do with people of one race or another.
There is nothing to indicate in the words or behavior of either Paul Canon or Damien Kyle that their preferences are formed because of any underlying racism. Both of them have done scenes with people of differing races. Both of them have engaged in close social interactions with people of different races. Both of them have entered business deals with people of different races. And when one of those deal ended badly and they spoke out about it they did not do so in a racist fashion, they criticized the other party based on the specific actions they claimed violated the contract they had. [They were neither the first or the last people to criticize that person's business ethics.]
All you are posting is some highly inflammatory opinion not based upon any actual facts to support it. It also ignore the comment I made earlier about Paul commenting on the good looking Black guy who was working out at the gyn with him.
You really are a engaging in the same sort of nonsense which has sadly invaded the political scene the past few decades where people take a comment and blow it into something it is not. Then interpret anything else the person says to reinforce the mischaracterized original comment whether related or not and whether in context or not.
Im loving this blog!
