I’ll start this piece with an observation- I follow this chap on Facebook and have noticed something rather odd (subliminal) about his videos. I first came across his viral video on what it’s like to have an Indian girlfriend.

Whenever he needs a platonic girl friend she’s usually black or brown. Whenever it’s a girl or romantic interest she’s blonde (unless it’s a video about specifically having an ethnic girlfriend).
The default romantic interest is blonde while a black(ish) woman is the *friend.* I’m assuming Markian has some sort of Armenian ancestry.

Another video is “16 Signs you are an Awkward Flirter”; where the romantic prospect is blonde.

In the roommate video; he’s seen with a romantic prospect in the bedroom, who is white.
I find it interesting that younger millennials, who are so much more diverse, are in some ways so much more conservative in their dating choice.
are in some ways so much more conservative in their dating choice.
they’re not more conservative tho. just not as liberal as they would be going by the values they espouse.
