They also found that black men did not display the same behavior. Black men were more likely to message/respond to black women first, then other races/groups of women
Author Jennifer Lundquist explains in The Dating Divide: How systematic racism manifests in online dating.
The Dating Divide is the first comprehensive look at "digital-xesual racism," a distinct form of racism that is mediated and amplified through the impersonal and anonymous context of online dating. Drawing on large-scale behavioural data from a mainstream dating website, extensive archival research, and more than seventy-five in-depth interviews with daters of diverse racial backgrounds and xesual identities, Curington, Lundquist, and Lin illustrate how the seemingly open space of the internet interacts with the loss of social inhibition in cyberspace contexts, fostering openly expressed forms of xesual racism that are rarely exposed in face-to-face encounters. The Dating Divide is a fascinating look at how a contemporary conflux of individualization, consumerism, and the proliferation of digital technologies has given rise to a unique form of gendered racism in the era of swiping right—or left.
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.
