Is it the clogs, the chocolate, or ... just everything that makes one inimitably Dutch?
No I wouldn't.

Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
No, because racism is a crime, and crime is for the female gender.

No, it is not.
If he was a nice guy, sure.
Not necessarily.

Sunstone good questions.
I have dated all three. I once dated a lebanese woman who hated blacks and always made derogatory remarks I was uncomfortable with, so I dropped her.
I once dated an Egyptian (As you can tell by now I tend to attract Arab women) who hated Jews. I dropped her since I have Jewish friends.
I once dated a latter-day saint (she was young minded college student) who eventually dropped me cause I was not a part of her faith. LoL

Was this a joke?
I have experience of this. It's very often the case that you start dating someone not really knowing if they're bigoted or not, because it's not necessarily something that would come up early in a relationship. Their true feelings about these things would tend to come out later on. I was dating a guy, and I thought everything was going great. And then one day he was looking through my facebook photos and spotted one of me with my good African-American friend, Fred. He immediately asked me why I was friends with a black guy, at which I was obviously a little shocked. I thought it was just born out of ignorance, but it turns out it ran pretty deep, and he started demanding to know which stuff Fred was gonna be going to so that he would know when NOT to attend dinners, parties etc. I was really knocked for 6. I ended it very soon afterward.
Thing is though, I was SO attracted to him earlier on, he was so hot. And absolutely incredible in bed. But finding out people are bigots can be such a turn off. He contacted me again recently and I just told him to go away, I felt nothing for him any more.

An excellent question, but IMO no, not really. I don't think refusing a bigot is rooted in the same thing as that person's prejudices are. I think you would do it because you know in your heart that there will be a deep-rooted incompatibility between the two of you, so you refuse them. You don't really do it just because you happen to know they're bigoted.
