I feel like you found the Dead Sea Scolls by saying this shyt lol....this is so on point it aint even funny...and I say that as a bruh who spent his entire teenage years in the 90s...
thinking back on it, I can't even begin to tell you how this stereotype about rap vidoes being filled to the gills with non-black women was a lie...it's like we heard it so much, no one thought to even challenge it....it was just amplified and accepted without any analysis about it whatsoever.
Now there were alot of mixed, white and some asians in popular music videos back then--that much was true, but there were also BW in them of all hues....furthermore I once read somehwhere that the reason "exotic", white, asian and latin women were becoming more popular in them was because they were PURPOSELY put there to attract White, Asian and Hispanic men who were BIG consumers of Rap music....in otherwords, it had nothing to do with BM....the casting was specifically made that way to draw and BIGGER pool of non-black men into the consumer base...but let some tell it's because BM were "brainwashed" and "colorstruck"
Meanwhile, if you walked around on any given day in the 90s and early 00s...Bm were walking around with all types of BW, fat skinny, egg shaped, hour glass shaped etc etc.
I agree, i always believed these 2 reasons are why the way things are the way they are now
1. Obviously, rap is more mainstream so no shyt. Its gonna have a bit more nonblack women then
but another reason i believe is cause of Black women and their protesting during the 90s and early 00s against rap because of objectification
Female students spurn Nelly over explicit rap video
you had Black women against this "objectification" like in Tip Drill by Nelly^^^^. I remember my homies and i had a convo on this topic. And one of them told me Tip Drill is likely the tipping point. where you saw the increase of NonBlack women because of Black women being against this type of coverage on them
so you can argue, rappers and the industry choose the easiest solution to overcome this problem... Just get some nonblack women then if Black women don't want to do it.
Granted,
Black women are still the most objectified in rap. But with rap having some videos where they make the vixen crowd more diverse.
and even a few very few bunch of videos, where the majority of the Video vixen/model crowd is nonblack(tho they do have some black women in that bunch, but they are outnumbered by the sheer cumulative number of NonBlack women)
Women in general are getting objectified. Ironically tho, The same BW who sit and complain about the "increase" of nonblack women(despite the fact Black women are still in the majority of the vids as the Vixens) in vids have their predecssors to thank who boycotted rappers.
All in all, its a combination of all our answers plus more but i personally believe these two reasons^^^ is a huge reason why
