It's bad for Asian men out there, too, but this reflects especially bad on black men: black women get the shit end of the dating scene when it comes to women, even from black men.
Blah blah, preferences prerogatives blah blah. Let's face reality here: a white supremacy-colonized black man's mind is a truly wasted mind.

And there is mountains of substance behind this claim.

Men swear that they love black women, but that love comes with filters that are synonymous with the ones on Instagram. Their love for black women wouldn’t pass a paper-bag test and would likely be sipping tea and consuming crumpets and flipping its pretty hair with accompanying pearls.
When Aaron reassures Jazz and Sky of his love for “queens,” Luca quickly reminds him that he loves black women if they’re “Egyptian and not Nubian.” The media, our coveted celebrities and other various outlets have ingrained a love for lighter skin tones, and it’s disheartening that some men have adopted this into their daily lives. And this is why movies like Black Panther are so important to show us that there is beauty beyond the Valencia filter.
If there is any upside to this, Jazz and Sky demonstrate a confidence in themselves that shows they do not need a man to validate their self-worth. This portrayal is evident also in the music that is produced by Chloe x Halle in real life.

But, in drastically streamlining the attraction process, and entirely by accident, Tinder became the skeleton key to unlocking data on racism in America. The app’s data proves that black women and Asian men are the demographics on which the highest number of people swipe “left,” thereby rejecting them. By distilling dates down to a profile picture and a swipe, Tinder encourages users to act on their knee-jerk reactions, and that lightning fast process lights up corners of our minds we haven’t fully grappled with as a society. Black women and Asian men make up two demographics that have been long stigmatized as not-ideal sexual and romantic partners.
It’s not that Tinder made anyone racist. It’s that the app compiles data on the quick preferences, and prejudices, of millions around the world, exposing an uncomfortable and racist reality.
