There's a big difference between feeling positive because someone finds you attractive (perfectly normal) and feeling you "made it" because a certain demographic thinks you're hot (has severely negative long-term consequences).

It's unfortunately pretty easy for an AAM to believe that AAWs are at fault for IR dating pool discrepancies. I'd like to pretend to be a paragon of awesome, but in my early, post-college 20's, it definitely played through my mind.

In this case, the correlation is…

In addition, the effect of a minority of fetishists in a majority demographic group is more noticeable by women when there is a larger demographic skew. Since we're talking about non-asian minority women right now, I'll use latinos as an example.
