Well, prejudice is normally discrimination based on ignorance or simply (usually false) preset beliefs on a person based on something upbringing or whatever. I don't think anyone really gets to choose which physical traits they are attracted to. I don't strictly think that's discrimination; if anything, it's a part of their personality that they cannot help. Having a real prejudice would require having a bad experience with an (insert race here) person and taking it harshly and then assume all the people in that catagory is bad, or any reason based on ignorance. That can be helped through making a choice to educate themselves. Attraction doesn't work like that. It's just some aspect that a person cannot help having, and it usually can't be unlearned just be making a choice.
I say it's not prejudice.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
