This stuff is everywhere. I swear whenever there is a review of a black female romance novel in the Washington Post is is almost always involving a black woman with a white man or at least a non-black man. It can be a period piece that takes place in a bygone era, a modern day tale involving white male billionaires or even YA novels. If a black girl is used as the lead in a YA novel she is almost bound to have a non-black (most likely white) love interest, regardless if the authors are white people or black women. Hell, all the non-white female authors writing YA novels are always given their non-white female protagonists white dudes as their romantic counterparts. All the bitching by progressive women of color about Evil White Men and yet when it comes time to picking an ideal man for their fictional characters or themselves, they go for the white dudes.
