IF I TYPE 'INTERRACIAL' INTO WATTPAD THERE ARE SO MANY BOOKS THAT FETISHIZE POC, THIS IS EVIDENT IN LINES LIKE:

-"you got yourself a black girl."
-"I've never dated a black girl before
but..."
-"she was so exotic."

I ALSO FEEL AS THOUGH IN STORIES WHERE THE MAIN GIRL IS WHITE SHE GETS TREATED LIKE THIS TIMID PIXIE OR WHATEVER.
BUT IN STORIES WHERE THE GIRL IS BLACK FOR EXAMPLE SHE IS MADE TO BE THIS SASSY DRAGON, NOT ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE STRONG, BLACK PEOPLE CAN BE TIMID TOO, BLACK PEOPLE CAN HAVE DEPRESSION OR ANXIETY.
THERE ARENT BOOKS THAT SHOW BLACK PEOPLE IN THAT WAY, THEY ONLY SHOW US AS THESE SASSY PEOPLE WHO CONSTANTLY CRAVE SEX (I am  aware that some people are like that and there is nothing wrong with that  but it is constantly used for black characters and also Latina characters , there aren't many characters who are POC, but when there are, we are poorly represented)
