Attracted to dark-skinned men

Yesterday, I went to a neighbour's reception. After seeing the groom, my mom told me that the groom is dark-skinned as compared to the bride and that she made a bad decision by choosing him since she herself is a bit wheatish and thus should have chosen someone fairer than her to make sure her kids have better features.

I was taken aback hearing it and my tongue slipped and I said that I am actually attracted to someone who is dark-skinned and not fair (No racism, just pure personal preference). I didn't mean to reveal my preference to her but it kinda came out in the heat of the moment while I was talking. But the ending was as expected.

Came home hearing a lecture about how that would mess my life totally and how I should be thankful to my parents for being fair skinned and how I would screw my future generation's genetics once and for all by taking a selfish decision which would probably take years to get back in the line again and that she would never accept something like that to happen to me. My face during the entire time 😶‍🌫️
