The important thing here is why you don't like them. If it actually has to do with their primary racial physical characteristics, then yes, it's not racist, it's just personal preference. I assume, though, that you're counting secondary characteristics (the asses, etc.) as well. While I doubt that you're a racist, you are poorly using words here. "I don't like MOST black chicks" is more accurate and less racist, because you aren't assuming that every person is the same. Black girls, just like white girls, asian girls, and all others, have all sorts of different physical appearances.
To prefer the general appearance of the opposite (or same, depending on which team you play for) sex of one race over another is not racist. To close yourself off from becoming romantically involved with everyone from another race because of those preferences is. I generally don't find black girls as attractive as white girls, but I'm never going to assume that "I don't like black girls," since there are probably tons of black girls that I'd find attractive but just haven't met.
