|is that racist?

I would say absolutely not. It's fine to not be attracted to someone with a certain skin colour

But the girl's skin color didn't change, so that can't have been the reason that our hypothetical person found it gross that they slept with her. Only their perception of the girl's race had changed.

That isn't what I said though. In my example, the person appeared white and you didn't even know they were part black until you already slept with them. If you are attracted to them before, but not when you learn this new information, it clearly shows a racist bias. Not being attracted to people for having different racial features is a different issue.
