Right, we’re the “real racists,” not casting directors, hiring managers, loan officers, police officers, teachers, cashiers, politicians, and local terrorists.

“But we’re all women! We must stick together!”

I guess it’s an attack on the societal primacy of European beauty standards, which secondarily benefit people with only one white parent. I have difficulty believing that a person who grew up with a healthy, happy community of POC family, friends, and relatives, would take it personally that a POC woman is questioning…

They are very good at talking about sexism or aligning with white patriarchy, whichever suits their needs best at the time. 53%

I guess these things only matter when white women’s feelings are hurt? Like the men who don’t want big (white) women?

Yes they are.

No, the man is my father’s age. His first wife was from the Phillipines. I think there are certain expectations for men and women in dating, and if you don’t fit, it’s more difficult. 

I used the phrase “black identified” for a reason. It’s 2017 and plenty of mixed people identify most strongly as mixed, meaning, they’re not going to donate to black institutions because they’re not black-identified. 

Just as much? Probably not. More than black women with less education, including bachelors degrees? Probably, especially in areas with higher percentages of black people.

Right, like whenever the media talks about people who are not white men, it’s always, “women and people of color,” which omits the “white” part, indicating that when referring to white women, “women” is sufficient.

I agree. It’s not about “deserve” but most average people are born into a society that will have potential mates when they come of age. Most straight people have a dating pool from which to choose from. Asian-American men do not have the same opportunities in the USA compared to other men. They can’t depend on their…

patterns exist for a reason. if it was truly “love is love” then all versions of IR relationships would be roughly equal, but that’s not the case

I lament the loss of $$$$$$ given that the more a black man earns, the more likely he will marry out. We have so many barriers to improving as a community, and the lack of intergenerational wealth transfer to black identified children who also marry someone black identified is one additional factor other groups don’t…

Your friends need to check out Kim Love on Twitter about black women making choices that serve their interests first.

Assuming you date men, you can choose to hitch a ride to the white American patriarchy through marriage or get a POC man.

Right, because in Latin America, colorism divides people rather than racism.

I think the media plays a big role in this. Until the 2016 election for POTUS, white working class people were ignored, and even with media attention, they received mostly sympathetic portrayals of the challenges of decline in rural areas. WWC = “Real Americans” The media also focuses a lot on coastal “elites” because…

Yep, and some of the leeching comes in the form of discussing the recent racist incident in current events with a WOC for (most likely unreciprocated) emotional support, then going home to the white wife with an improved mood.

Right, like sweatshop workers and slaves (see the Atlantic, BlueHealer46) have it great.

For real. I know a Black man who married a Chinese woman because apparently, none of the women in the western hemisphere were interested. They don’t even share a language and have to use a smart phone to communicate.
