Young Cecil,
What if the SWM ad originates from Utah?

In the US most personals have a race preference, for
example a woman may describe herself as SWF (single
white female) seeking a SWM(single white male). Are
such people racists?

Dear Halur,
These people are not racist. Just plain stupid.
Unless one is advertising for a swingers' session I don't see why the word
'single' has to be used at all. Obviously someone seeking a partner is
'single'.
It's like 'relatives and friends accept this as the only intimation'. We
use some phrases by rote without questioning their meaning.
Cheers!
Cecil
