The Industry Standard Racial Classification Policy
by Pimpsticky.com (because
who gives a fuck anyway?)
Looking at porn from a non-white point of view is some times
confusing and occasionally just plain disturbing. To many
it may be a trivial point, but there is an ongoing debate
about how content should be categorized. In the porn world
product is some times labeled as being black when the girl
is babe is black and the stud is white. The logic here is
that everyone is white and since the girl is black, and shes
the focus of the feature then its black content. Make no mistake
about it thought this happens with the labeling of Asian,
Latina, and Martian content as well.
I suppose with some great stretch of the imagination I could
accept this opinion, if only there was not a double standard
to take note of. When the female model is white and the male
model is black, this is almost always referred to as interracial
content. I suppose in a black world this could be looked at
as being white content! Do you see the sort of games people
play with categorization?
I am not suggesting that this practice is intentionally malicious
or intended to be offensive. At best this is just an attempt
to simplify and otherwise complicated issue at worst this
is just a crappy marketing ploy. However, in a world of niche
marketing, sponsors can do more harm than good by mislabeling
products and promotional tools.
What do I suggest?
Kill all of the sponsors execution style in the parking lots
of their office parks!
NO, thats too harsh.
How about . . .
Sub niches: A few things to note there are more than black
people and white people in the world and there is more than
one segment when it comes to interracial. Some people want
to see a certain ethnicity of guy with a certain ethnicity
of girl. Sponsors dont make this type of niche marketing
easy as everything is lumped into one pot. So when it comes
down to it every interracial combination is two niches. What
we need is a conventional system of cataloging that everyone
can understand. So here is what I propose.
Interracial (Race of boy/ Race of girl)
This is a simple solution flexible and easy to remember,
very common boy girl metaphor at play here. So a site like
blacks on blondes would be.
Interracial (Black / White)
But a site like ebonycumdumps would be
Interracial (White / Black)
If you had a site with Martian girls and Asian guys you would
get
Interracial (Asian / Martian)
How about that for micro targeting your niches, bitches!
Real simple shit here.
If youre already operating ebony sites I suppose none
of this comes as news to you though. But if you own a program
or are an affiliate manager maybe you want to keep this little
nugget of wisdom tucked away. Some of us would actually like
to build well-categorized and properly themed sites. Its
great your running NATS with fifty processors and ten million
FHGs but how about some proper categorization? Give
it a try and your affiliates might just thank you for it.
