Works like what? im not getting you.
i dont think pretty white women are worshipped any more than other pretty women other than by Nazis.
either way threads like this reinforce the notion that hot white women are somehow more special than brown or black women. I dont like this.
Thats just me though, maybe someone can argue against my take
Edit: I think i read OP uncharitably.
it’s not about worship, it’s about white women being taken more seriously by white people, who i assume were the majority involved. they’re not special apart from the fact that hegemonic racism treats them as special.
I would still disagree.
I think theres enough sexism around that even a pretty white woman would be told "shut up bitch" or something like that, in fact ive seen it happen at bars multiple times. I dont think being a pretty white woman is some super special key other than to being objectified like every other pretty woman
im glad OPs friend called dude out either way. People are shit heads unfortunately.
There's also the factor where straight dudes really want to help out hot women who are in distress
Troo
Yes, the cocktail of racism and sexism is somewhat unpredictable, but we can say that in OP’s case the pretty white woman was taken more seriously than the black man, and more importantly in this case, not assumed to be violent for racist reasons. There are other situations where the cocktail would work out differently.
Sure i think i just read into Ops post the wrong way.
Half his friend group were women, middle aged at that.
