Fetishizing Sh!t

This week, we talked about a topic that I honestly cannot even begin to comprehend: being fetishized because of the color of your skin or the nation of your origin. Maybe this is my white privilege talking but I cannot think of anything more arbitrary upon which to base whether you open a door or shut it.

I personally look forward to a day when race is no longer an option as a filter on dating apps. I’m not even in favor of groups having specialized dating apps when it is part of their religion. I say mix it up, blur all the lines, break down each barrier, and open yourself up to every culture. It is who the person is—where they come from, where they have been, and what they want to be—that you should be attracted to. That’s the type of connection that lasts.
