I agree with
@A Woman's Opinion that White men generally tend to treat shades/textures of Black equally from my observation, and are less colorstruck than African and AA men. I've worked in Europe and seen men date/marry Senegalese, Cameroon women in France like it was nothing. Even the pervs patronized Black/Latin American prostitutes over Eastern European immigrants(very cheap) or locals. Used to buy African products from Ghanian lady whose husband was a German engineer. She spent time in the states and hated it. Her daughter models, is brown and looks Senegalese, dates older rich Europeans. Befriended this one sister was half Danish and AA(product of an absentee Black service member and a single mother from Denmark) she married a Swiss lawyer who approached her on a cruise. Another woman, dark brown from St Kitts and married an organic farmer.
Of course the women were attractive, fit and if heavier had pretty faces(as if being overweight and or dark is death sentence to loneliness). Also, they were mostly educated or well traveled. The African and AA men I encountered, wifed anything White off the street.
Many white people are infactuated with dark skin and at the way that Blacks(healthy ones) age. AA men seem to be the most colorstruck under the guise of being indiscriminate daters. One can easily compare Black Mens Magazine centerfolds to the Ebony Man/Essence mags.
