Dismissing a whole group of people is unfair, says Sisonke Msimang, but people of colour aren’t that concerned about one person’s dating life
Last modified on Fri 9 Jun 2023 17.02 BSTHow can I help my white friend understand that his “preference” to only date white women is racist? Can I persuade him to at least be a bit more open minded?
But at the level of whether a particular white person is interested in dating us or not, I think you would have a hard time finding any woman of colour who would be even mildly concerned about this. The beauty industrial complex almost guarantees that no matter where you live or what your skin colour and hair type, you are subject to the pernicious ideas about beauty. These warped ideas are bad for everyone, including most white women.
