I’ll write the book in two lines:

“Black men are shitty partners, and white men won’t date me. Therefore, romance is racist”

I’ll take my check now.

When will black women try reverse yellow fever the way every black guy does? It's the best of both worlds; they get to feel superior to a white-passing person but also say they're dating a person of color so they're not trading up or selling out.

Fair question. Here’s my armchair sociologist take that nobody asked for:

I doubt it will happen in meaningful numbers. The amount of Asian Male/Black Female pairings, at least marriages, are so small that they could be labeled statistically insignificant.

I live in a pretty “diverse” area and see all kinds of interracial couples. I don’t think in my life I’ve ever seen a black woman with an Asian man. And yes, I’m just one set of eyes.

Black women who are able to date successfully outside of their race tend to be more attractive, intelligent, and feminine etc than the typical black woman. These women will almost always go gunning for a white guy and can usually land one.

Asian men who are able to successfully date outside their race tend to be more attractive, more “alpha” than the typical Asian guy. Which means they will go gunning for white women and can usually land them.

Sure, both are a level up from the typical of their race, but they aren’t going to settle for each other. Why take a room on higher floor when you can get the penthouse?

Makes sense. What about John Legend/Chrissy Teigen? That's the only one I can think of, and she's only like half Thai.

That’s an Asian woman and a black man…right? I was talking specifically about black women and Asian men.

Btw I’m not trying to split hairs or be a twat. Just responding to your question.

And I agree in general that black and Asian is a rare pairing.

Also, you could land a 747 on Teigen’s forehead.

LOL I literally couldn't think of one and my brain just went for the swapped more common version anyway. I'm dumb. Also I think I unconsciously see John Legend as a woman. He's a tiny bitch.

NYT best seller list for sure, you'll have woke hipsters and bored housewives alike lining up to blow you after Oprah gives your masterpiece her seal of approval.

Can't even begin to take her seriously. She's clearly a struggling mediocrity doing anything she can to get people to buy her shit. You can even see at the bottom of the book the last controversial approach she tried and failed with.

I don’t subscribe to butthurt anti-white politics, or even think this woman should have access to the whitey-invented printing press, but she does make an interesting point: romantic love as the ideal or default basis for marriage is something that many people inappropriately take for granted. Both Shakespeare and Walt Disney had a big hand in spreading that misconception, and I think we know that neither of those is a benign actor

LMAO! I'm a shitty, entitled, bitchy woman and no one wants to date me. Must be that romance is racist, lol. This social promotion in schools must stop. How can any college take a moron like this seriously. Oh yeah, any college that has "studies" classes can. Dear god there needs to be a housecleaning in Western Humanities.
