First, someone is attracted to a man or woman's race. If that person were to think about why they're attracted to a man or woman's race, then they'd come to find that there's a reason. I personally don't think there's ever a "just because." Someone might like a man with bigger muscles because big muscles symbolize masculinity to them, and that person likes masculinity. Another might like a man with smaller muscles, because they feel like men with smaller muscles don't conform to society's expectations. There's always a reason.
I gave the example earlier of liking jrock. From there, if that person were to say, "I like the entire Japanese race because of jrock," then they would be stereotyping because it suggests that they're attaching one idea to an entire race of people. Not all Japanese people are in a jrock band.

That really is not at all what I'm saying. Like I said your example of Jrock would have to do with stereotyping. If I said I like Asian women because they are more polite than other women than yes your jrock analogy would be correct. But that's not what I said at all. You can definitely separate physical characteristics from stereotyping. By what your saying then, do you not believe in physical attractiveness. Is there nothing you find attractive or unattractive?
