Are Your Dating Preferences Colorist or Racist? Let's Chat! | Jackie Aina

This video was filmed WEEKS AGO but I have been itching to do a video on so called dating preferences and how a lot of times they are just excuses to push colorism ideals!!! The recent Chris Brown scandal inspired this video but the topic will unfortunately always remain relevant!

[@timanahaf]

I'm a fairly dark skinned South Asian-American woman married to a white man. I've dated within my own ethnicity and out, and just ended up with the man I really fell in love with. What really bothers me is that I have never had a white guy ask me why I married a white man. I have, on multiple occasions, had guys of my own ethnicity and African-American guys who mistook me for African-American ask me why I couldn't find a man of my "own kind" (I kid u not! Those exact words). Why do dark men think we should only be with them, while plenty of dark guys, especially from where I come from look for girls with "fair skin". Is that some kind of an insecurity? I appreciate Jackie talking about this subject and especially about looking at a person's qualities vs what they look like on the outside. Skin is literally only skin deep, it doesn't define a person. Choose a partner for who they are, not for their skin color or hair or whatever.

[@izzyjean8097]

This guy at school literally said to me that black women should not date white men but it’s okay for black men to date white women..🤦🏾‍♀️

[@alexagreen5331]

​@Sara Salinas i would disagree with the last statement though.why? because even before a country like man who was later colonized by europeans have fair skin as a status symbol its often a common misconception one that people in my country believe in, they do not know that certain tribes of my country already holds that as a symbol of wealth. So no dont blame white europeans for that.

[@catdogabuab1928]

Same, it's such a gross overstepping in patriarchy. In my native land, women are cut off from the family for dating outside our ethnicity. Like, you don't own me or my reproduction, you think cutting me off says anything bad?

[@catdogabuab1928]

@Angel Butt I am so with you on that question. That's fine if you like someone different, but why bond over hatred instead of love? I don't get it. I don't. I hope I never do, cause that's a level of introspection that belongs in a hiatus from society.

[@ellieameli]

Women of color have been programmed to believe that we must be loyal to our counterparts (men of color.) It’s not just darker skinned women either since Tamera Mowry & Doja Cat have both been shamed for dating/being married to white men and both of these women are fair skinned and biracial. Society has been teaching women of color for the longest to “hold our men down.”

Everytime someone pulls the "it's just my preference" I IMMEDIATELY leave. A preference is Coke or Pepsi, you'll still go for the other if that's what's available. What they mean is prerequisite 'I *will not* date a black woman, specifically a dark woman' is a straight up dating rule they have made for themselves influenced by their own racism, and trying to downplay it as a preference is fooling less and less people thankfully

[@msgirly6827]

As a latina this is very true sadly. It makes me so uncomfortable hearing black men say they don’t like black women because of so and so. I do no engage further with those men. I’ve seen and know what it feels like to see men of your own kind running around and talking down on you and it’s annoying asf. I had a Hispanic men tell me to my face that he wouldn’t date a latina cause we too crazy and that’s why white gurls are better because they don’t talk back. They encourage these white girls to look like us and then drag us with those same women who hate us I’ve known so many white women who hate Hispanic women but date Hispanic men. So I would never get with a man who tries to make their women look bad to try and make women from other races feel secure by dragging their own kind.

She was talking about the possibility of dating him & she said to me, 'if I had interracial kids, I'd want them to be your complexion, your complexion is so pretty." I'm light-skinned (think Sanaa Lathan). I had to explain how it was kind of ignorant to hope that her child would come out a particular shade of brown because brown people come in so many shades & you never know what you will have a very fair-skinned parent & a very dark-skinned parent. If she did have an interracial child & that child was darker than she'd wanted, that child would feel resented. She really didn't understand how that comment came off as ignorant/demeaning until I mentioned how rampant colorism is with the black community & how some white women fetishize mixed children.

Girrrl 💯 I grew up around Black boys and men never failed going out their way to tell me how bad my dark skin is and how they would never date me (arrogantly assuming I wanted them) and want women with the "good hair", light skin and eyes. They were so disrespectful and if they were called out it was a "preference" and they gaslighted you. I just ignored them but as soon as Black girls started dating outside the community. "Why are all these Black girls dating outside their race, what's wrong with them? Look at these bedwenches" or "Women are the backbone of the community they can't do that!" And my favorite "Black girls dating outside their race is going to ruin the community".🙄 My uncles who are in interracial relationships lost their minds because my cousin was with non Black guy and lectured me and my other female relatives on how we need to find Black men and need to birth Black boys. 😳 UM excuse me?

I come from a Greek-Egyptian background and I grew up being told I don’t look Greek enough and I was too “Arab” for Greeks and too “European” for Egyptian. Because there is a certain “Type” Eastern men are conditioned to look for and when you get butt hurt they response is “It’s just my preference.” If your preference is clouded by prejudice for another ethnicity that’s not Ok. Because in certain cultures there is an expected “look/background/upbringing ext”. But there okay with sleeping with you because your “exotic”. And then they get butt hurt when you write them off bc their all being ***holes. I appreciate you spoke on behalf of the black community and bringing light to this issue bc I have a very good African American friend and she is consistently discouraged by this and gets angry when she sees black men dating 5’1 blonde little WASPs.

Myself on the other hand did have questions from both men and women why I’m with a white man and how I got one . The problem with dating my own race is that there is a lot of colorism within the Indian community. Darker skinned women are seen as unattractive and light skin is seen as beautiful. It’s a sad standard and a lot of my own people couldn’t believe a white man could love someone as dark as me. I have dated Indian guys in my past and the two that I dated both had issues with my complexion, one guy’s mum was complaining that they are talking about me being dark as tho it was a horrible characteristic. Another Indian guy I dated use to emotionally abuse me by insulting me about my color and saying I’m the darkest his ever date. Like I don’t understand the hate men have for women of their own race. All skin tones are beautiful it’s just that they can’t accept it

[@Acord718]

I love dark skin Indian women. Although I am not Indian. I am Puerto Rican think of daddy Yankee,Luis Fonsi and lin Manuel Miranda. So I am to light skin for black and latinas and to Hispanic for Asians and whites. And it sucks because I think of myself as ugly and unattractive to most women. Colorism is true but so is judging others based on the way they talk and carry themselves. It hurts because I am me and I am being myself. But that is never enough for the business world and dating world.

Im bi racial and being fetishized has been normalized and is offensive to me and offensive to black women.

Why? Why don’t black men who don’t like black women / darker skin black women unpack their unconscious colorism? Darker women DO NOT get the credit, recognition or opportunities they deserve from ANYONE. Not black men, not employers, not society no one! So to see black men so against darker women it is beyond me. Every time I see a black woman or a darker skin woman I make sure to compliment her, it’s the least I can do and it’s always a genuine compliment. Bc the world will never give her 100% what she deserves. And just to clarify, yes I do identify as black and as a black woman, however I realize that bc of the complexion of my skin I get a pass and I walk with privilege. I may have occasional struggles but none that will ever compare to a woman with darker skin. I recognize that the life and treatment of a woman with dark skin should never be minimized or used to validate someone else’s struggle.

Hate to point this out to you, but in America you would be considered black. A friend of mine who is Indonesian (many generations) was called black by Americans I've known for years. I told her, no she's Asian, but they didn't listen. She had dark skin, therefore she was black. 🤷‍♂️ I don't care what skin color someone is, but I always found it fascinating and realized that Americans think literally and metaphorically black and white. Which is sad because every skin color and tone has it's beauty. If only you're willing to see it.

P D I live in the U.S and I am well aware that people think I’m black (they think I’m mixed actually). Nothing wrong with that tho :) Black women are beautiful

Heather Campbell everyone does tho

[@TheVincident.]

I kinda understand and agree with your point but physical attraction should still be part of the decision but maybe not the only deciding factor

[@cinder2085]

Heather Campbell Um physical attraction matters a lot ...

[@marishajames3581]

Thank you heather! Omg 😡 she said if you’re dating for PREFERENCES 😑 like seriously. No body said you can’t be attracted to a certain look but that doesn’t mean you should isolate entire populations of people from your dating pool. It’s hella people I like, and yes I have a type but I’m with a man that doesn’t fit that mold and I’m hella attracted to him and he treats me like a queen because I didn’t limit my dating pool. Step the f$&! out the box sometimes.

This was such a great discussion. The tutorial was obviously amazing as well. I’ll be trying to recreate this look tomorrow with my newly purchased palette!!! 🥰

“Ruling out a group of people permanently would never be a preference” 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Now that’s a fact !

[@rosereddened]

the entitlement men have towards women of their own race, the possessiveness, is really something else - they can date however they please but heaven FORBID you don't reciprocate their interest even if you're half their age and they have nothing to offer you, they feel like they're doing you a favor! as a mixed black woman i've experienced that from black men and then fetishization from white men. men are all so shady i just don't feel like you can trust any of them. they look at you and see a bunch of body parts, they never see a soul.

Thank you for being so real and honest about issues surrounding race. We need more women (especially women of color) starting and running these conversations. Love you 😘
