Yes, this extends to all interracial relationships. I’ve never been in a relationship with anyone white, but from observing friends in them there’s always a level of “casual racism” and fetishism done for fun in the relationship. It took me a minute to realize they genuinely just like it and enjoy being fetishized on the basis of race.
People are weird
As someone in an interracial relationship this is not true but okay
I was being hyperbolic in the post. My actual opinion is that systems of oppression are too rooted in society to be escapable in our personal relationships. Like, misogyny is oftentimes perpetrated in hetero relationships. Not because either person identifies as a misogynist. Because misogyny is so deeply ingrained in our gender roles and expectations that it’s kind of a given to show up in some ways.
Racism is no different. And I do see small forms of racism show up in the interracial relationships of other people that they don’t correct at all (this is in both parties) it’s just unavoidable. Most people aren’t “anti-racist” Obviously if you feel this doesn’t apply to you thats fine.
Some people of color like the subtle forms of fetishization present when engaging with people of a different race, or even their own. I’m not talking about explicit forms of racism.
Like the idea of black men being sexually virile and having big dicks is a form that is often perpetuated by both people in interracial black relationships for example
Breaking this news to my parents
ive blocked out this concept for a realy long time and i dont intend to stop now
When you peep it you can’t unsee it. Like I know people who actively baited their white partners into saying the n word for fun 😭
I’m sorry to tell you this but 90% chance they ain’t woke and are saying crazy stuff in the bedroom
Why are you fantasizing about real5’s parents’ sex life
why aren’t you?
lol. I’m kidding but my take doesn’t have anything to do with the eroticness race play does/doesn’t have. I think racism is too pervasive not to play a part in romantic relationships.
I dont think most people are race fetishists but the MAIN racist stereotypes for most minorities especially women are sexual in nature. Most people are not woke enough to fight against those stereotypes. Therefore…crazy stuff said in the bedroom
whats worse, fetishistic racechaser white partner or ‘i dont see color’ obtuse white partner
Racechaser is obviously so much worse.
Can’t I just kill myself?
is it satire?
Relationship do not exist outside of already existing forms of oppression. Most people just choose to play into racist stereotypes, including sexual ones, instead of fighting against it.
This isn’t to say that I think everyone is a hardcore race fetishist. I dont think thats true at all. People just fetishize themselves/their partners instead of unpacking why they have the desire to do so in the first place.
If I had a Nickle for every poc guy I knew that actively degraded their own race to put white women on a pedestal. I’d have a lot of nickels!
