, a large, age-diverse study of white, black, east Asian and south Asian partners showed a strong overall preference for white partners. This included a relative preference for marriage with white partners and for casual sex with ethnic minorities, in all ethnic groups. Neither the respondent’s sexual orientation nor gender undid this conclusion.

Still, a large amount of black women feel alienated and uncomfortable by the videos that others heartily embrace. As Dr. West notes: “I suspect that if you look more closely at the groups who like and dislike the videos, you'll see some divides.

Conversations of this nature are also shut down because the rebuttal to scepticism is assumed to lie in the existence of the relationship itself. There is a persistent belief that not only will interracial relationships somehow solve racism, but that if you are in one, you can’t be racist.
