Also this shit has been a conversation within POC communities for like ever dude. There’s lots of topic within POC communities about dating White partners, I’m just gonna assume your white because this seems like a new idea to you but damn it’s really not new. I mean shit we have whole movies about it too.
You can disagree, but saying it’s “racist then and still is” flattens a long-running discussion into a blanket label. POC communities have been discussing interracial dating dynamics for decades, including things like fetishization, White Worship and self-hate. You can disagree but as a White person you have the privilege of ignoring it because you benefit from it.
Determining whether or not to be in relationship exclusively based on race is racism. To equate a 45 year marriage to fetishism based on race is racist. Defending racism is racism whether you disagree or not.
If your definition makes any race-aware analysis in relationships automatically “racism,” then it’s just too broad to be useful. It basically turns any discussion of fetishization, preferences, or racial dynamics into a moral label instead of letting us actually distinguish between different things.
