Honestly it’s not really a good look. Most people of all groups have more preference toward their own. Its natural. I suppose it makes more of a case why the author tells bw not to show a dominant exclusivity/preference toward bm, when bm
aren’t doing the same. He’s telling bw to be as equal opportunity as y’all are. And if y’all see bw the same as y’all do other women, there’s not much of a case for why bw should show that preference to you.
Now, I’m not one to mince my words. I do think it’s a weakness for Brehs to see other races the same as your own, especially when those others actually rate you low. Like y’all are just as unliked as brehettes to those others.
It would make sense for us to prefer our own more.
Most of us grow up with Black women in school, church, neighborhoods etc.
My theory is that Black men receive so much negative attention that we have a "kamikaze" mindset where we give no fukks. If a breh is gonna get hated on no matter what, some brehs figure they might as well date/marry whomever. Not saying it's a good look but that's the only logic I can come up with.
We don't feel the same pressure everyone else does to keep in their race. Money is probably a factor as well. Asian and white families have inheritances (houses, cars, trusts etc) they can hold over their sons' heads. Black parents rarely have as much to pass on, so it's difficult for them to force the kids into doing anything when the kid had to get it out the mud.
Plus...women tend to be the keepers of culture within the family and race so I'd expect women to prefer staying within the lines.
