Jennifer’s findings:
1) Race is the biggest dealbreaker in online dating!
2) White men are the most desired
3) ALL WOMEN (OF ALL RACES) preferences were strongest for white men!
4) Gay men (except black gay men) preferred white men
5) MEN, preferred women of their own race first!
6) Whiteness is the defining characteristic for women
7) Digital xesual Racism is real! There is PERSISTENT ANTI-BLACKNESS that operates in the psyche of “White, Asian, Hispanic, Multi-racial, straight men and gay women”. Every group participated in anti-blackness, except black men. THIS INCLUDES GAY BLACK WOMEN.
