Any answer I imagine would be stereotyping. I notice in the media that black people are granted moral authority and other races are denied moral authority. Maybe women like moral authority.
Think Denzil Washington or Morgan Freeman. It is widespread. It is what media feeds us.
Dude, do a simple youtube search on videos/movies/interviews and compare reaction videos to young black actors/rappers with some random A-list white actor. There's a massive difference in number of reactions + views.
Young white women do thousands of reaction videos but have a look at what they are reacting to. 95% of their reactions are to white celebrities. In contrast its black/Latino content creators who do reactions to black/Latino actors/celebrities. Sure white social media users post admiration/thumbs up for actors like Washington or Freeman but they tend to be male.
It goes back to what I said, if you have younger sister, female cousin or family friend's daughter walk take a look at their bedroom walls and look at the posters on their wall. Or simpler still go to random instagram or facebook pages of any white teen girl/college aged woman and look at the musicians, actors, friends they post.
There is a massive overestimation of the impact of black men on young people. I am not disputing they have white fans but the volume of fans is not as great as what some people think.
