We live in an ethno-classicist society where anything that is white adjacent is viewed as more exclusive and higher on the pecking order whereas anything that is black adjacent is viewed as common and lower on the pecking order.
Hence formerly poor athletes who choose white women.
They now have the money.
The next thing they want is the class status.
They believe the more white-adjacent one becomes.
The higher-up the totem pole they will go.
They feel white women (i.e access to white people) and mixed children will anchor their place at the top of the totem.
And this has become a reality.
We now have a large class of mixed celebrity children with money who, thanks to social media, are envied by the rest of young black america.
Those celebrity children are most likely going to socialize and marry each other, if they don't marry white, and become a self-perpetuating mixed "exotical" monied class.
Further perpetuating a "light is right" mentality.
