Racial politics in online dating

The Eastern Asian presentation, inspired me to look online race statistic for myself. Primarily because I was fairly annoyed by the racial dating statistics posted by OkCupid. According to those statistics no one wants to date a black woman...not even a black man. As a black woman, I was very bothered by these statistics. In fact, at first I refused to accept them as true. However, I believe that the reason why black women are viewed as "unwanted" is primarily due to the stereotypes associated with black women. Black women are perceived as "loud, obnoxious, uneducated/ghetto, bossy/demanding, in your face (pushy) and the list goes on. Interestingly enough though, Asian women received the most replies, but then again what stereotypes are associated with them? Submissive, china dolls, very quiet etc etc. This got me thinking that online dating is not based off physical appearances, but perhaps it is based off gender roles and perceived attitudes. Black women seem like the least likely to be submissive in a relationship, and seem like they have the worst attitudes. Although this is not true, I do think this plays into the reason why Black women are the least likely to get a date in an online space.
