WARNING: What I'm about to say might sound prejudiced toward a certain group of people. Or many. But I assure you, I am not racist, sexist or homophobic. It'd be best to stop reading if you are easily offended, or cannot be bothered to read long posts. Do not claim I didn't warn you.



Now, there's something I find annoying about same race couples (black men and black women, for instance) in fiction. Especially when it comes to minorities.

When it comes to interracial couples in the media, black men + white women seems like the most common one. I've frequently heard that white men/Asian women is as common a combo if not more so than BM/WW, but I seldom see it.

There seems to be this insistence that women of color should exclusively hook up with men of their own race. However, it is apparently more acceptable for non-white men, blacks especially, to be paired with white women.

I have no problem with people of the same ethnicity being together. But I cannot help but feel, when watching TV shows or movies, that I'm being frequently told that, as a white man, I shouldn't hook up with non-white women. That they're off-limit. But men of color can have them along with white women. Caucasian gals are pretty much treated as the best kind of girls guys of any races would want. They also get to play main characters.

I've seen plenty of beautiful black women appearing only as extras, while ugly white ones are shoved down my throat. White women this, white women that. I do not hate white women. But I must admit the media makes it so tempting. It sometimes makes me eager to see black women get the upper hand on them (white women). To be favored over them, to hook up with white men, to the cries of racist and hypocritical black men everywhere (not just them, mind you, but all prejudiced twats), whose existence is rarely acknowledged. Racism being exclusively a white, male thing, according to the media.

Believe me though, It annoys me to to be made to feel that way. I love to laugh at racists of all ethicities and both genders. I love to hate them. I've been attracted to countless white girls over the years. I just have a hard time trusting producers, writers etc not to enforce what I'm criticising. With me, a Latino and and Latina in a movie could hook up without seeming discriminatory to white men and non-white women who love them.

This had been on my mind for quite a while. Again, I do not mean to offend people of any races or either genders, and I'm sorry if I did. The media just frustrates me, that's all.
