Why is "I don't see the race" seen as racist?

Example of racism / Possibly offensive

Post Body

I'm cis-male, straight, "white passing latino" or whatever that means. Yes, I admit that I don't see the race when looking for a partner.

To me, an Asian, black or amerindian/mestiza woman can be just as beautiful as any other white woman.

Of course I understand that women have very different experiences than men, and those experiences are multiplied when race is taken into account.

When I'm with a woman, do I care about her physical appareance? to some extent yes and I'm not even super picky (I don't like fat women). But I also care what she thinks, her fears and joys.

So, am I "racist" for ignoring the race of my future partners?
