Dating Shows with BM/WW IR

But this is a 'post-racial' America though right? *wink-wink* We had our First 'black' president right? Surely, you don't think that it will be a problem to black men on a tv show, right?

 

True story. And right now all the black guys they actually like are foreign with a cute accent anyway

 

The media doesn't really promote BM as heartthrobs though (other than maybe Black media to a black audience). 1 of the podcasts I listen to brought up a good point, black male actors aren't really allowed to be (or promted in the media) as playboys who are dating all these different females like white male actors.

 

Marty Khan homie

What podcast?
Black men can't jump in Hollywood?

 

Exactly.

 

I wasn't talking about Black Male actors in Movies & TV Shows, I was talking about how they are portrayed in real life.


Skip to the 29:55 mark:

 

This is true... Proproganda and the media is such a powerful tool but the fact remains that races are going to stick amongst each other overall.

 

I would say hispanic men are 2nd. Women go crazy over latino dudes. Plus it's less controversial and sexy to women to say and boast about having a Latin Lover than it is with Black Lover in this world. A woman says she has a Black Lover and it will make people more uncomfortable than her saying she has a Latin lover.

 

^Black men are last or near that depending of location.

 

Depends on the location. In coastal areas its way more about your money and social life. In NY a girl will pick a black doctor lawyer broker etc over a dude of any other race who works front desk at a gym or flips burgers. Even all things being equal then where you went to school and where you grew up counts for a lot.

 

Of course Darkcurry is right. Because Latino/Hispanic ISN'T a race, it's an ethnicity. In fact, most Latinos in this country check "White" as their race on the U.S. census.

So can you really call it an IR if a WW is dating a White Latino dude?

 

Interesting.

 

The only thing separating them from traditional white people is an accent

 

This. If Italians are considered "White", than Latinos of European Spanish or Portuguese descent have to be considered White too.

 

*white or mestizo Latinos

 

Are mestizos native American?

 

Mestizos are Half White European/Half Native Americans.

Lucy (white) was married to Ricky (Cubano) on TV in the 1950s and nobody batted an eyelash so no, it isn't IR

 

So this premiered last night. I had it on in the background, but wasn't paying attention & I haven't paid any attention to responses on the net.
