Wanting to have kids with a white guy because I want my children to "look" a certain way?

I told my black male/female friends this and they say i'm racist all the time  

It's true I don't like how I look...
Nappy hair
Brown skin
Brown eyes

They say its wrong that I want to choose how my children look because I don't like how I look, and that it's not cool to stick to one particular race.

I guess there is nothing wrong with it, I just find it sad how black people have such low self esteem all the time and always wish they didn't have Dark skin etc.

Not trying to call you out on that or anything but I am proud of being black.......

No, it's not racist at all.
Kind of just desiring your children to have certain features that come from a different race.

Not racist...but...damn, it's called something else but I can't remember the name.

It wasn't good, though.
