There was only one Black male/White female romance novel...
At least, that's what I assumed.
It turns out the male protagonist is Russian with "Viking traits," and apparently the cover used stock photography at relaunch in an effort to, quote, "appeal to different audiences."
There was also only 1 Indian male/White female novel, written by an Indian woman, that had arranged marriage themes.
Lastly, 1 WMBF novel was written by a White woman.
The only interracial story between a White and Black person written by a White woman was about a Black woman falling in love with a White man.
I recently came across this youtube channel describing a genre of trans identity called "puppy girls", and I was amazed at how casually he was describing systematic child grooming:
"The identity of girl is forced onto the subject in one way or another." 🧵
He describes the "subject" as typically exhibiting low will power.
This was also the focus of a recent study on autogynephilia porn:
"The content focuses on feminization, with racial submission, cross-dressing and gender transition subtexts..."
"Very young. When I say young, it's a big factor in who stumbles into and stays in these spaces."
He describes how external, community-based reinforcement is vital for sustaining trans identity among younger members.
One autogynephile from the study stated:
‘The internet’s ability to recommend it consistently, to give years of content within hours, connect with like-minded people, has definitely made my desire increase exponentially.’
A 2020 study found that a racial hierarchy emerges for multiracial daters consistent with past research.
All groups responded to their own in-group the most, except for Hispanic-White women, who preferred White men.
All groups responded to monoracial Black men the least.
White women are more likely to respond to Asian-White men than Black-White men.
Black-White men prefer monoracial Black women, then Black-White, then White.
Black-White and Hispanic-White women privilege "Whiteness"
Black women prefered White men, Black-White, and Black men least.
Hispanic-White men prefer Hispanic, Hispanic-White, and White women equally.
Hispanic-White and Asian-White women view White men as more gender progressive than their other monoracial group.
All groups showed "anti-Black" bias.
White women exclude non-White monoracial daters, and treat multiracial daters as in-between group for all but Asian-White men (surprisingly).
"White women primarily respond to White men, and exclude all monoracial minority men.
They do indicate a willingness to respond to Asian-White, Hispanic-White, and, to a lesser extent, Black-White multiracial men;
When considering multiracials, White women treat Black-White and Hispanic-White multi-racial men as an in-between group and dis-play equivalent treatment of Asian-White multiracials and White daters."
"Asian-White multiracial men benefit most from this heightened status."
"White men are most likely to respond to messages sent by White women, followed by Hispanic and Asian women, and they respond less frequently to messages sent by Black women."
With multiracial women, Asian-White women are actually responded to the most, followed by White and Hispanic-White, then Black-White and Black the least.
From 2010 to 2015, 68% of the minor victims of sex trafficking were White girls.
The vast majority of convicted sex traffickers were Black men (71%), while 20% were White men (2019)
32% of the buyers of trafficked girls where middle-aged Black men making $40k/year (2017) 🧵
A recent 2025 study asked victims of sex trafficking about their traffickers...
This is where it gets dark...
The White women said that they "were targeted to be prostituted by Black male traffickers because Black men 'would take pride in having little White girls.'"
A major theme emerged:
Victim #19: Black male traffickers "had a weird thing for White girls on drugs."
#20: "I saw far more White woman trafficked than anything else."
#33: "They'd always target the younger White women. I don't know why. I just feel race played a part in it."
The Romance Writers of America says it's committed to increasing the diversity of its authors.
Their new director, Jacki Renée, says that she "celebrates Black and Interracial love."
The majority of her published novels feature a White man and a Black woman.
Despite their efforts to increase diversity, many publishing company officials complain that readers just don't want it:
“We hear that readers want more diversity, but it’s still the case that the most popular books are the least diverse."
-Director of Penguine Random House
From "Sexual racism: Intimacy as a matter of justice,"
"In the case of sexual racism, one is seen as less physically attractive based on racial stereotypes or norms.
Intimacy is a matter of justice. We ought to care about the distribution of this opportunity."
In her 2020 article "Colorblind and Colorbound," Jonahs describes how color-blind ideology is giving an explicit defense of race as an acceptable category of exclusion.
"Colorblind ideology upholds White supremacy, yet remains the dominant racial ideology."
