Has anyone found interracial lesbian stories here?
I searched but couldn't find any.

My story series 'Jehovah's Witness Romance' has lesbian sex between a blonde Caucasian girl Andrea and an African-American girl Samantha.
My story 'Marcie and Ramona's Sapphic Saturday' is about two 18-year-old girls Marcie who is Jewish and Ramona who is Latina who are having a secret lesbian affair in the early 1960s.
Even for e-books I don't use that tag. Its two characters having sex that happen to be of different ethnicity. If someone who does have a kink specifically for IR they can still enjoy the scene as far as envisioning it, but I don't fuel it with their dialogue or my descriptions, other than things along the lines of "her mocha skin" I don't fetishize itOf mine, "Anjali's Red Scarf" and "Riddle of the Copper Coin" involve interracial relationships, though I don't tag them that way because "interracial" as a fetish has a lot of racist baggage attached.
I agree. I have featured ethnically mixed couples in a lot of my stories. I do so because a.) I set my stories in a realistic modern world, and b.) in order to provide some variety. I don't want an endless parade of cookie cutter characters.Even for e-books I don't use that tag. Its two characters having sex that happen to be of different ethnicity.

When I was 14 my first real girlfriend was my best friend's sister, a very pretty black girl. Third day of freshmen year of high school I was asked what "coon pussy' tasted like. Week Two "N&&&&R Lover" was painted on my locker.I agree. I have featured ethnically mixed couples in a lot of my stories. I do so because a.)

I have not, and will not, label or tag any story as "interracial". In genre terms, I think that is a particular kink that involves negative tropes.
I am white. My husband is Black. I have heard those tropes in person, this is not an abstract thing to me. I have on several occasion had women say to me, when they learn I am in a mixed race relationship, "Ooh, black men are so sexy. I just love Idris Elba/Drake/Micheal B. Jordan/Whomever." My usual response is "My husband looks like Forrest Whitaker, and I love him."
There's 'actually being woke' as the term was defined when it first started getting used... and then there's what people have been calling the 'woke mob' which is the virtue signal going after anyone in order to self-promote (with the 'mob' part being how folks jump on the bandwagon without checking facts).Worse, many of them will run around screaming the 'R' word on the net while pretending to be woke and because they don't understand pandering is not empowering. and a cause should be about the cause, not "look at me supporting this cause" because that's the type most guilty of what you're talking about.
Woke followed the usual pattern, the initial use of the term, and people who coined it had good intentions and believed in the message behind it.There's 'actually being woke' as the term was defined when it first started getting used... and then there's what people have been calling the 'woke mob' which is the virtue signal going after anyone in order to self-promote (with the 'mob' part being how folks jump on the bandwagon without checking facts).
Then of course... there's the much larger phenomenon of people mis-using the term in order to fear-monger the same way the term 'politically correct' was reshaped from the original idea of 'be respectful to others' into some insane over-reaching concept that doesn't actually exist except for in the minds of those afraid of it.
Actual woke would be about understanding racial, gender/sex, and class/economic disparities and then being active in acting above them. But that's not what 'social media woke' does in the least.
On Topic:
Because the 'interracial' term gets used as a negative fetish, I won't tag a story I have with it, even though every story I've ever written features a diverse cast of characters, simply because I grew up in a modern city. There isn't a way to tag an actual 'interracial' story without it falling into the trap of being placed alongside fetich work - so I just don't bother as I presume that in 2022 a diverse cast is the norm for a modern-era or futuristic story.
In this day and age a story that is 'monoracial' is the one needing a tag... Maybe 'incest'.![]()
There's a great book on 'framing' called "Don't Think of an Elephant" by George Lakoff. It was put out after the 2004 election and was meant to be an explanation by a Democratic social scientist to explain to Democrats why they lost despite having a candidate they had thought would have broad appeal across liberal and conservative leanings.Woke followed the usual pattern, the initial use of the term, and people who coined it had good intentions and believed in the message behind it.
Interesting that this thread has four people, all authors, who are on the same page with how the fetishizing of IR is full of racist tropes and shit, yet there is so much of it published and consumed in a positive manner.
Do this many people not know? Are we exceptionally enlightened? Or...do people know, but enjoy that aspect of it? Like enjoying something racist is part of the taboo kink in the same light as getting off on Non con or incest which in real life are negative things?
Trolling, almost. It's got way more views than any of my other stories, did very well with votes initially (Laurel put it in Fetish) but the score has declined over time - possibly because viewers finding it over the last couple years are the disappointed interracial fans.
