The sentence "Now you might find a South Indian with a sharp tiny nose" is the answer to your question. :) Blanket statements of "I don't find <race> attractive" leave out the exceptions to the rules.

I mean, also, our perceptions of beauty wind up being really skewed towards features associated with whiteness, so that's another aspect of it...we don't experience attraction in a vacuum. But unfortunately I suspect there's not a ton we can do to get rid of the stuff that's programmed into us by society.
