@Scarlettkitten, I knew there would eventually be someone who would misinterpret what I said. The original posters question was "Are white dancers more desired than black ones." To which I basically said that I don't believe they are discriminated against conciously because of their skin tone alone, but other factors that may play a role. If you don't like my dog analogy then I'll use a different one....ok, so we all know black is a slimming color. Why is it a slimming color? Because it HIDES DETAILS and DOESN'T MAKE THINGS STAND OUT. If a dancer with a dark skin tone wears a dark or black colored outfit it makes it harder to see her in a dimly lit club. Again these are not all things that I particularly believe myself so don't shoot the messenger. What i said is based off of what I've learned from studying customers. And you're correct, there are ghetto white girls too and most classy men reject them as well as the ghetto black girls they are trying to emulate. Men are stupid. I'm trying to give some insight into how alot of THEM think. I knew these three black girls at my old club, they were all top earners and good friends. One was very light, one was more medium tone, and one was very dark. Two of them had their hair natural and the other one had a weave but it was a natural color for her and was done well. They all wore classy bright colored lingerie, they all smiled alot and came across as very friendly. Like I said these girls always made alot of money from all types of people. The debate isn't if guys should touch your hair or not.
It's a fact that different races are generlized in different ways. Is it fair? no. I'm simply giving some insight into how customers generalize girls and how to not be put in to that box if you don't want to be. Forget anything about race for a second. Everything I said could still be good advice to any dancer. "wear somthing that makes you stand out." "Smile and be approachable" "keep your hair looking clean and taken care of" "build trust with the customer" "complement the customer" " dance to music that is more neutral and won't turn off old guys who generally have the money"
" Be classy and speak properly."
The original poster wanted to talk about black vs white dancers and even admitted that she thinks that whites are more desired.
That's why I directed my response towards what black girls could do differently that may help, and to shine some light on the subject of how customers commonly perceive things.
I was trying to let her know that it probably wasn't so much about skin color alone but possibly other factors SOMETIMES ASSOCIATED with black dancers that she might consider revamping in order to appeal to a larger audience.
I've never seen anyone with black skin that's an ignorant statement.

While many Cubans are mulatto or even mestizo...there are more Criollos (Native born whites) in Cuba than people may think. Jay 12 was talking about how people forget the native porn whites called criollos in Latin America. Thus, Jay 12 is correct because Latin America is race, class, and ethnicity is broken down differently then in North America. Criollos rule Latin America while mestizos, mulattos, Native Americans, romany and pure blood blacks are at the bottom. In America, your grandmother is still black but in Latin America she would be a mulatto and quatoon if she was blond and blue eyed. Portuguese and Spaniards are white Latinos because they share the Iberian Peninsula and because they brought the culture to the Americas. Plus President Obama is a mulatto
