That's not racists at all, that's just a person's personal preference for what they find attractive, and it often can't be helped.
We develop our models of what we find attractive early in our development by what we are exposed to.
It scares me a little that you don't know this, yet feel confident enough in your knowledge to type out these words.
Is it racist if I only like blonds? No, but that does rule out more than a few races of people that can't naturally grow blond hair. You're allowed to have physical preferences for certain traits. What you shouldn't do though is treat people differently because they don't have those traits that you value.
What would be racist is if I said I only hire [insert race], or I only let [insert race] people rent my condo.
