|
-1. **General Observations:** |
660 |
|
- - Data drawn from **over 1 million messaging records** from an online dating site. |
661 |
|
- - Focused on how **monoracial users** (especially Whites) interact with **multiracial daters**. |
662 |
|
- |
663 |
|
-2. **Subgroup Analysis:** |
664 |
|
- - **Multiracial Black/White and Asian/White women** received **fewer responses from White men** than their monoracial counterparts. |
665 |
|
- - White daters showed **stronger preferences for monoracial identities**, particularly **own-race pairings**. |
666 |
|
- |
667 |
|
-3. **Other Significant Data Points:** |
668 |
|
- - **Multiracial men** fared worse than multiracial women across most pairings. |
669 |
|
- - **Latina/White and Asian/White multiracial women** were **more positively received by Black and Hispanic men**. |

673 |
|
-1. **Primary Observations:** |
674 |
|
- - White users demonstrated a clear pattern of **in-group preference**, preferring other White users (monoracial or partially White) over more ambiguous multiracial identities. |
675 |
|
- - Authors suggest this reflects **"boundary-maintaining behavior"** and **"latent racial bias"**. |
676 |
|
- |
677 |
|
-2. **Subgroup Trends:** |
678 |
|
- - **Multiracial women with partial minority backgrounds** were more acceptable to non-White men than White men. |
679 |
|
- - Multiracial daters were **often treated as ambiguous or “less desirable”** in ways the authors frame as **resistance to racial integration**. |
680 |
|
- |
681 |
|
-3. **Specific Case Analysis:** |
682 |
|
- - The most rejected group? **Black/White multiracial men**, especially by **White women**, which the authors do not frame as bias in the same way. |
683 |
|
- - The study shows **asymmetrical concern** — when Whites select inwardly, it's seen as racial boundary policing; when minorities do it, it's not pathologized. |

-1. **Strengths of the Study:** |
688 |
|
- - Large, real-world dataset gives useful behavioral insight into **racial preferences in dating**. |
689 |
|
- - Raises legitimate questions about **how race, desire, and group identity intersect**. |
690 |
|
- |
691 |
|
-2. **Limitations of the Study:** |
692 |
|
- - Frames **normal in-group preference among Whites as "resistance to multiraciality"**, rather than neutral human patterning. |
693 |
|
- - Ignores **similar or stronger in-group preference among Black and Asian users**, which could indicate *universal patterns*, not White exceptionalism. |
694 |
|
- - Uses CRT framing to subtly **morally indict Whites for preferring Whites**, while exempting other groups. |
695 |
|
- |
696 |
|
-3. **Suggestions for Improvement:** |
697 |
|
- - Treat all in-group preference equally across racial groups — not just when Whites do it. |
698 |
|
- - Disaggregate by age, education, and regional variation to control for confounds. |
699 |
|
- - Consider whether **multiracial identity is ambiguous** by nature and if that ambiguity reduces clarity of signals in dating. |

-1. **General Observations:** |
730 |
|
- - This is a **qualitative content analysis** of gonzo pornography, particularly interracial porn involving Black men and White women. |
731 |
|
- - The author reviews **select films, not a dataset**, using them to extrapolate broad cultural claims about race and sexuality. |
732 |

744 |
|
- - Argues that **gonzo interracial porn functions as racial propaganda**, reinforcing White guilt while commodifying Black masculinity. |
745 |
|
- - Portrays White women as willing participants in a fantasy of racial domination that allegedly “liberates” Black men. |
746 |
|
- |
747 |
|
-2. **Subgroup Trends:** |
748 |
|
- - White male viewers are pathologized as both sexually repressed and voyeuristically complicit in anti-Black racism. |
749 |

750 |

752 |
|
- - Cites scenes where Black male actors degrade or dominate White women as **“transgressive acts” that destabilize White power**, rather than examples of racial hostility or objectification. |

759 |
|
- - Offers insight into how **White heterosexuality is recoded as colonialism** in activist academia. |
760 |
|
- |
761 |
|
-2. **Limitations of the Study:** |
762 |
|
- - **No statistical basis**, relies entirely on biased interpretive analysis of fringe media. |
763 |
|
- - Presumes **intent and audience motivation** without surveys, viewership data, or cross-cultural comparison. |
764 |
