- Our race greatly influences how people interact with us sexually. We wanted to know how racist assumptions affect how people are approached, so we asked our followers to tell us the most racist chat up lines they've ever heard
Our Race and Sex event has just started! We want to know what the most racist chat up line you've heard! Tell us at #racistflirting- There were a few patterns that emerged. The first was flirting using racist stereotypes as compliments
@EndRacismUK From Rugby player for the London Irish back in the 1980s - `hope it's true what they say about coloured girls!'
@EndRacismUK @judeinlondon "I hope one of the stereotypes is true, but not the others haha" #racistflirting- On some occasions multiple racist stereotypes, including the servitude of Asian women, and the hypersexualisation of 'exotic' bodies, were all used at once
"Ur so exotic looking"; "U Indian women really know how to look after a man"; "Ur a lovely colour - I want to lick u" #racistflirting- The second pattern was the premium put on white ideals of beauty, and complimenting people based on their ability to adhere to it
@EndRacismUK My best friend once got told she was "very pretty for a black girl". She's gorgeous by ANY standard #racism- This was especially true for people from mixed race backgrounds..
@EndRacismUK "you're fit for a black girl" "I'm mixed race" "You're half caste? No wonder you're so pretty!" #RacistFlirting
@EndRacismUK on finding out I'm mixed race an ex said 'you taste just like a white girl'
Someone used to continually call me 'galaxy caramel'...weirdd #RacistFlirting- The third pattern was exotification of black and Asian bodies based on historically unequal relationships of power.
@EndRacismUK Racist cherps? 'Is it true what they say. .?' And they each think they are original! #racistflirting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9JqbCH4aVw …- "Is this true that Asian women don't have any hair?" #racistflirting
- One of the worst we've heard is "your spit is thicker than white girls" #racistflirting
- The final pattern was the assumed desirability of the white body
@EndRacismUK I was once asked if I fancied a bit of white which was pretty horrible on so many levels.- We totally agree.
- The #racistflirting tag is just jawdropping stuff.
- Back to the event...
