The "Fetish" Fetishists
Our Cultural Antagonism Towards Interracial Sexual Preference

by Jason Roth

An undeniable - no, make that "plain as fucking day" - aspect of sexual attraction is: the specific physical qualities one finds attractive. I hope I'm not shattering any major cultural myths when I say that slanty eyes and tight asses are two such qualities. Physical characteristics can be appreciated apart from the soul that possesses them. A preference for black, brown, or pale skin does not necessarily equal a preference for a particular personality type.

If a white woman generally had a preference for white men, would she be accused of preferring a "white mentality"? Hell, no. If she were, she would rightly call her accuser a racist. The reasons are twofold. First, the accuser's concept of a "white mentality" can be discarded as racist (and non-existent) on its face. Second, it is considered "normal" to be physically attracted to members of one's own race, so to assume that this particular woman attaches any mental traits to her own race is arbitrary and irrelevant.

So, here we go again with the bogus, bromidic concept "normal" dictating what we should or should not do. The premise underlying the "interracial sexual attraction is perversion" credo is that sexual attraction to members of your own race is psychologically "normal", so anything else is a neurosis.

Now, I don't profess to know the process of psychological development that explains how every physical characteristic becomes attractive or not attractive to every human being, or even to myself for that matter. If I were born and raised on a planet full of women with green pyramids on their chests, who knows? Maybe I'd be more attracted to those than to the conventional fleshy round things I've grown up with.

But the burden of proof is upon the fetish-accusation fetishists to explain why intraracial sexual attraction is preferable to the interracial sort.
