It's othering. There are plenty of places to read about this subject online, by the way. Basically, the issue with seeing black girls as these ~*exotic beautiez*~ is like... ask yourself, why? It's because white, consciously or subconsciously, is considered the "standard". I understand that no harm is meant by these comments a lot of the time, but sometimes there are deep-rooted issues at play that tend to get overlooked.
You dont think maybe he is just attracted to black girls and not so attracted to white girls? You don't think it could just be as simple as that? It has to be othering or exotification? Why?
He didn't even tell us much, we just know he finds black women sexually attractive particularly likes a certain area of the body...some white men just don't find white skin that attractive. I know that from my experience with them. They weren't thinking of me as some mysterious, exotic native from a distant jungle land who they could 'colonise' or some shit. Why cant you accept that this is what the OP finds attractive?
Those asses have always got me hot!

I did not interpret your reply the way slings_and_arrows did. However you left me in the dark too about what you meant with exoticism being harmful.
