It's a positive discrimination, rather than a negative one. If I like Indian women, it's not like I hate everyone else. I just prefer them. This has pretty much been said already.
For example, I'm not discriminatory against gays by being straight—I'm positively discriminatory by my preference for women.
There is a difference between preference and prejudice.
