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

by Jason Roth

And this is where the fetish fetishists' racism comes in. Let's go back to point number two, above:

"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."

Such assumptions about a woman's thoughts, made purely based on her skin color, would be considered racist. Yet this is exactly what the fetish fetishists do all the time when more than one race is involved. E.g., the black man must be with the white woman because he thinks it's good for his "social status"; the white guy must be with the Indian woman because he wants a mate who is submissive, etc. These assumptions are equally unfounded.

So what if you like - or even prefer - the physical characteristics of another race? People who have a problem with it reveal their own racist attitudes about which sexual relationships are permissible (i.e., "normal") and which are not.

Nobody seems to think there's anything wrong with liking blonde hair and blue eyes. What's wrong with liking brown hair and brown skin?


In the interest of full disclosure, I fully admit appreciating attractive women of every race.
