Why do Black Men Increasingly Date Women of Other Ethnic Groups?
Since the European beauty standard in America is the most dominate there is a lot of truth that Black and men from other ethnic groups favor women who reflect that standard. However, men from different ethnic groups do also appreciate dark skinned and Black women.Just because people see rich or even "afrocentric or concious" Black men with women from other ethnic groups doesn't mean it's because of social conditioning. Some men may actually fall in love with a woman from another ethnic groups. It may just be an issue of demographics rather than psycho-graphics. I'll give an explanation of what I mean.
Many women consider men approaching them on the street these days "street harassment." So I use online dating sites at times.
Ironically,although my preference would be a sista like Lauren Hill, India Arie, or Lupita Nyongo'o I get just as many white, Hispanic, and Caribbean women interested in dating me. Women who look like the women I mentioned above are a very small group of women in the Black community - very slim pickens.
I don't think it's because of me personally. I think the numbers in dating these days just favors women from larger ethnic groups.
Blacks in the US just aren't having enough children to sustain their significant numbers. If it wasn't for people in the Caribbean and Africa immigrating here there would be an even smaller Black population.
BTW the white population in the US is shrinking too for instance in a month in 2013, I forgot which one, more whites died in the US than were born for the 1st time in US history. I don't think there is a large percentage or ratio of white or Latina women looking to date Black men necessarily. But a small percentage of a larger demographic can skew dating numbers in their favor.
I know numerically speaking although I have a preference, given the numbers, if I'm open to dating a person based on their intrinsic qualities, I probably statistically speaking these days will end up with a Latina or Caribbean woman. Then I can just see people saying "that Kamau fronts the cultural conscious sistas but is dating a Latina or multi-ethnic Caribbean chick."
But honestly there are just a lot more of these ladies to date and who show an interest in me and this probably happens to other black guys too. In fact this dating game may just turn out to be more of a numbers game.
