I don't want to spark any arguments, offend anybody, or hurt any feelings, but I do want to host this discussion here. I have seen several ladies here speak with conviction and passion about things and I want to see what opinions can be had about this. I'm not saying, I'm just paraphrasing and copy-pasting.
I was talking with a friend of mine about this who's a stripper and cam girl and she had these points to make:
White women are the highest valued sex worker. Thereafter are Asian women, Latina women, any Brown woman of color (Arab, Punjabi, Indigenous, Multiracial, light to medium brown-toned visual minorities). Then the bottom tier is Black women.
Black women are ranked in value by complexion with lighter skintones ranking highest and darker, deeper skin tones ranking at the bottom.
The more indistinguishable and racially ambiguous a girl is, the higher she's valued for being exotic.
The more White passing you are, the higher you are ranked in value.
Black women with natural hair, especially in tighter and more coiled textures, are low ranking.
She attributed all this to the fact that this is a business that banks on fetish and Black women are one of the lesser desired fetishes.
However, I disagree to an extent. I think a huge part of this business is what you put into it. If you have a good personality, give a great show, and work for your money, you'll make that. But contrary to that, I do think that Black women as a whole and in general are one of the least romantically and sexually desired racial groups, especially in America, just based on stereotypes and the tradition of our natural attributes being regarded as unattractive. I've seen some women sit on Chaturbate and make $200 in a night by just staring at the camera and maybe popping out their boobs for the highest tipper. They all just so happened to be White or Latina women, but that could very well be a coincidence.
What do you think? Do you think there's a trend for some women to make more money than others because of their race?
