I’m like you. If I walk into a bar and it’s mostly natives I’d probably leave. I don’t dislike natives but based on stories and past histories that’s the decision I would probably make.

It gets touchy for some people when it comes to preferences for intimate partners.
A friend of mine who was also a work colleague had extensive life experience in Africa, his parents having been diplomats. Once I confided to him that I found a new African (from Africa) employee very good looking, and he got all stressed and then asked in hushed tones... "Am I... like... racist... if I don't find African girls attractive?" This was a guy who was politically active in progressive leftist parties, and was staunchly anti-racist and pro-African politically.
The same goes for body preferences. Are you a bad person if you are primarily attracted to skinny people? Tall people? Women with big breasts?
