What do you get if you google the word interracial?
by Carmen Van Kerckhove
Well, the #1 search result is not safe for work, that’s for sure.
So the question is: why are people so fascinated by interracial sex?
Let me tell you a quick story.
I was at a conference a couple of years ago and during one of the breaks, a man came up to me and started chatting.
“What are you speaking about today?” he asked, since my nametag identified me as one of the featured speakers at the conference.
“Interracial relationships,” I replied.
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, his whole manner changed. Instead of being polite and respectful, he started leering and smirking.
“Is this based on personal experience?” he asked in a low, suggestive tone.
Actually my workshop was all about debunking myths and ripping apart stereotypes. But the minute he heard me say the word “interracial,” all he could think about was sex.
Why are people so fascinated by interracial sex?
I answer this question and many others in my audio seminar, “Not Just Fetishists and Race Traitors: Challenging the Ways We View Interracial Relationships.“

Warmly,
Carmen

I googled “interracial” and the #1 result is a wikipedia article on miscegenation. I know that’s not the point. I’m just saying.
But, as an African-American woman involved with a white man, I have had my blackness questioned by people in my community. As if I have lost all rights to my ancestry, heritage, and history because I choose to love a white man! It’s silly, but it’s still where people are.
I look forward to checking out your seminar.

Haha yeah I think it depends on the filters you have set up. At home when I do it, the #1 site is a porn site. But at work I get the wikipedia as #1 too.

As a side note, I did a post a while ago on a porn movie titled “Nappy Headed Hoes” that was inspired by the whole Imus incident.
I think it has something to do with our puritan history, Americans are probably more real when it comes to their private sexual lives than under any other circumstances.

Definitely. One book that delves into this a bit is “Hung,” by Scott Poulson-Bryant. I interviewed him on Addicted to Race - you can check it out here.
In the book he reveals that something like 90% of porn involving black men with white women is actually bought by white men. It’s that whole Mandingo fantasy.

I read Hung, I enjoyed it. But for some reason now Amazon wants to recommend lots of “gay fiction” to me.
You can tell alot about society by its crossreferencing policies?

So true.
I’d like to add that you can tell alot about a society by it’s porn and portrayals in media.

I’ll pay for this session just to support the site but I doubt I’ll learn anything new from it.

I figured the #1 result was gonna be porn. I remember the interview with Poulson-Bryant (or is it “pulsing giant”?) and decided to read Hung. Now, I know who Lexington Steele is!

Sex in the U.S. is absolutely linked with race, because in American society RACE MATTERS; no matter how much it tries to profess colorblindness.

Pornography isn’t “new” either. But for the 13-year-old kid who happened to follow a link or three, it most certainly is a new experience.

that’s pretty sad how the term has changed. The internet hasn’t helped that much and human nature hasn’t changed that much either. You can educate people or change the terminology, which lead to political correctness, which leads to mocking by the masses, which leads to the the new term being altered and going full circle.

Before I even Googled, I knew it would be porn. My porn collection is mostly interracial (Blacks on Blondes). Currently when I pick up a flick, I get an all Black on, my attitude & porn preferences have changed over the years.

He’s a guy. He was thinking about sex long before you said the word ‘interracial’ - you just provided the opening for a pass.
Or such is my interpretation. I have no doubt the fellow would strongly deny the topic had crossed his mind.
