I understand that. However, it has little to do with white guys. And, in point of fact, many of these "minorities" go without a boyfriend, because they are waiting for the white guy of their dreams. But, the white guys preferences are not the point.I'm asking about minority races, considering the white man the ultimate in beauty.
This isn't unusual. "White Beauty" is considered the ultimate beauty in America despite gender or sexual orientation. Other races are considered merely exotic or kinky. Which is why we have a majority of models dominated with white faces and only a handful of colored faces that unfortunately involve jungle, urban, or foreign themes.
For gay men, despite race, it's different. We have all been raised with the constant badgering of white beauty supermacy through media or social confinements. Movies, magazines, television, books, you name it. Gay men, regardless of race, are "taught" to hone their sexual preferences towards the white male. Society and media have instilled them with the idea of a white "Prince Charming".
This begs the question of why black women or hispanic women aren't rushing out for white men. This has to do with culture overlapping the social confinements of what beauty is. While they aren't completely immune to the effects of "white beauty supermacy" (i.e. straightened hair) their culture, family, and community influence their sexual preferences to indulge in their own race.
Gay men unfortunately are of course raised to recognize the beauty of their own race....for girls. As their sexual orientation begins to surface, while their other friends are pursuing girls of their own race, they have a proverbial crisis of race and sexuality. Their culture prevents them from prefering their own race's men. But due to society and media, they begin to prefer "white beauty" because it isn' in conflict with their own race.
Very complicated.
