Does society prefer light-skinned people?

If true that just makes me sad. That is just all types of ironic.
It's only really true in regards to the ethnic minorities in the gay community.
it's true. small enclaves that form inside of the subcommunities of homosexuals that are spread all over the country, and those communities are often not that diverse at all. Blacks get the thug treatment, or they're considered promiscuous, or untrustworthy, or even dangerous because of the AIDS thing. Or just plain ole undesirable.
edit: unless you're of a certain type, like the dude Lenny Kravitz as Cinna.

Do you mean, all the minorities ( even though thinking about it that doesn't quite make sense because one race of people aren't less gay than other, but let's humor the term for the sake of argument) are disliked.
Or its dislike amongst themselves
Oh sis, I see that everywhere. All the struggles in the world, I cannot. But I guess it's more... common in ethnic groups themselves? Most of the minority gays I know are simply not open to dating so and so for their race. They tend to skew more towards White gays.
What I meant was that minorities tend to favor Whites in the gay community.
I would never do a vybz kartel, ever... I have too much self-esteem for that. Although not gunna lie, growing up I always had an obsession with lighter skinned ladies. Tan to Pale was the barometer for me. Sad as it sounds.
I don't know if thats indicative of "Society" or some misguided notion I created for myself that made a certain colour of skin appealing.
Travelling to different parts of the world, namely Kenya and Tanzania have changed my own personal insecurities and changed the way I view things.

For most people who never bothered to study the subject, "racism" means segregation, slavery, and the KKK, and those things are (legally) over. They aren't really aware of the more subtle and non-legal forms of racism that persist culturally and in the media when it comes to the effects of representation and stereotyping. They just don't know how to analyze media like that and have never been given reason to question the status quo because of course, it benefits them.

That is some pot ass kettle ass shit.
I think the saddest part is they're completely unaware of how hypocritical they are.

Is that necessarily a racist thing though? I don't mind dating any woman regardless of race but I do have personal preferences. I dunno anything about the gay community though,
I think writing off an entire race of people is racist.
Seems pretty racist to me.
Writing an entire race off because their skin color is racist to me. It's also caused by media culture and how people perceive what is beautiful or not. You almost always see a white gay couple more than you will ever see interracial or other ethnic gays in the media.
Also a lot of those profiles like to our "OMFG IT'S NOT RACIST IT'S JUST A PREFERENCE, STAY OUT PLZ NOT ATTRACTED" pretty ridiculous tbh.

There are spice puddings?
I remember arguing with someone on another forum about this topic and they specifically said, "What if the person has had a bad experience with this person of color and not with this White female? Does their 'preference' make them a racist now?"
Like, that doesn't even make any sense. You're still at fault for generalizing the actions of an entire group of people based on one person.

What in the fuck . . .
On-topic, the sad answer is yes.

Smfh. It really is a big problem in the gay community but not everyone wants to talk about this ;__;
Speaking of the taboo of interracial couples in movies
Fun fact: That movie pelican brief starring denzel and julia roberts was meant to have a sex scene between them but denzel declined saying it would ruin his fanbase (which was mostly black)
Hollywood plays it safe for the most part

If you're talking to me
Um... It's a widely popular gay app if not the most popular called Grindr
LBR it's mostly for sex tho

That actually sounds even more problematic than other cases. If a bad experience makes you fear an entire race, that's a problem.
I can understand not dating "out" if you're doing it for family reasons. Not something I agree with exactly, but I can understand it. But there are plenty of other reasons that are pretty racist.
You wish you were average. Your life would be significantly more difficult if you had actually dark skin.
I honestly think it stems from Hollywood always glamorizing these leading males in movies, television shows, music videos, etc. These males all happen to be White. Minority females are actually a *bit* lucky in this department because they're being represented by the likes of Lucy Liu, Halle Berry, etc. while non-White males get little to no representation in media. It's a bit sad, really. :/
Pretty much.
What I meant was less super white and more average, yeah. Sorry.
I understand. I'm really pale myself, and I usually wear a swimshirt at the beach to avoid stares, but I'm so fortunate that I was born as a white dude.
Yeah like I said earlier the culture and media out there gives this illusion that we're mostly all beautiful hot white males :""( those boys grow up only seeing hot white guys and never any colored men. >_<

i never forget when Beyonce's baby was born, no one believed it was hers because of the hair and skin tone. Good times
How so? What would be different or him?
