I mean, I admit that I have a preference for Asian women. However, I do have exceptions to that preference in terms of other races, as a few who know me knows what I mean.

...from what you're asking, are you implying that people really have no free will on what he/she is attracted to?

Your attraction to others is a measurable reaction that can be scientifically observed. If you believe you can control it, perform a very simple test, look at a series of pictures of various attractive people and "choose" not to experience attraction to any of them. You can't do it, you know why? Because it's a subconscious reaction, which yes, precludes free will. All forms of desire are outside free will and are dictated by biology, whether it's hunger, arousal or simple curiosity. I am not implying anything, it's a simple statement of fact that can be proven time and time again.

You can choose not to act on how you feel, but that's not changing what you feel, it's repressing it. Making the psychological distinction to avoid Asians for example isn't changing whether or not you're attracted to them, it's denying yourself them as an option regardless of your interest. Choosing not to eat the juicy hamburger because it's bad for you isn't the same as not wanting the hamburger.
