Shocking interracial sex
27 February 06
Well no, not really. Blogger and sociologist Rachel E. Sullivan is apparently surprised to discover the internet is, in fact, a treasure trove of interracial porn:
When I first started studying interracial relationships, I thought I may be able to use the internet to locate Black/White couples to participate in my study. I would use Google or Yahoo!, and type phrases like “interracial relationships” or “interracial marriage.” Much to my chagrin most of the results that came up were pornographic websites.
It’s already well-known that the primary purpose of the internet is to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of pornographic content in the event of nuclear warfare. And we’ve already established that human beings are obsessed with both race and sex, so it does stand to reason that the intersection of the two whips people into a frenzy. Porn is, if you will, where the cultural zeitgeist is really at.
Rachel’s detailed analysis of pervy search results is worth a look, as are her conclusions, even though they aren’t terribly shocking to someone who spends as much time crawling through our culture’s muck as I do.
