I myself have noticed a curious number of ads lately featuring black-white couples in which the man is white and the woman is black. It seems to lean that way more than in the other direction. Technically, I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with it although I can understand how some might find it disconcerting. They might feel that it’s playing to “white sensitivities” per se, because a black man with a white woman has a whole different power dynamic.

It’s a real shame that for some reason black women’s dating profiles receive less interested responses, because millions of them are quite desirable!
