That doesn't reflect my experience at all. If anything I have a 'thing' for black women, probably for the same reason of novelty I'm wary/curious of black men. And the people I actually know are individual people so abstract ideas don't apply. Remember, unlike nonautistics, autistics' consciousness is on a higher level than our issues; we can think our way around things and hold simultaneously conflicting views, etc.
Everyone is racist, some just don't know it or won't admit it.
having a "thing" for a certain race... can also be considered racist. so your example doesn't work.
once again, not everyone is racist just because you are. one generalisation that can be made about auties is that they have Theory of Mind issues, which you seem to be demonstrating here. you don't seem to be able to understand that not everyone suffers from the same issues as you, and not everyone thinks as you do. your abstraction doesn't work on the individual level, to use your own words.
