Aubrey O’Day Goes All The Way: A Discussion On Fetish And Race
17 September 2008, 5:50 PM. By Alex Alvarez
In a new subtle, elegant interview in Complex (apt!) magazine, singerish person Aubrey O’Day speaks candidly about her sex life and sexual preferences, offering us, among other things, this little nugget of info:
I usually watch black guys doing white girls, that’s my little fetish, even though in real life race isn’t a factor for me. Really, I’m more turned on by watching the girls than the guys. I love someone who looks like they’re really into sex.
We actually found this to be pretty interesting, both in Aubrey’s willingness to admit an unfashionably unPC preference and her lack of excuses for it. Bold! Or racist?
We’ve touched a little upon how we, personally, have a difficult time differentiating between preference and fetish, fully aware of the more dehumanizing implications of the latter. The best we could come up with is that, when it comes to pornography, women of all races and ethnicities (and men who happen to be “not White”) become characters for people to project their fantasies onto without any sort of meaningful awareness of the social reprocussions - because porn is fantasy, and these people aren’t “real.” Right? In any case, we’re interested to know what you think.

And this is news worthy why? Who cares what this chick, who incidentally no one knows who she is, likes to look at to get her rocks off.
Not sure why race is an issue here either. So she likes the mandingo. So what? If she were Hispanic, and into dark skinned men, no one would even care. The same people that cry “Racism” are usually the most racist.
Everyone has fetishes. Personally I like midget porn with a touch of white-furred chinchilla bestiality,
But that’s just the point, Jamie. She’s not Hispanic. She’s white and her expression of a desire to watch black men having sex with white women carries different weight and meaning than it were uttered by, say, a Latina. Or a black woman who isn’t Latina.
When Aubrey says it, there are different (very possibly racist) overtones that don’t really exist when a person of another race or ethnicity says the same thing.
And while Aubrey’s statements may not be newsworthy according to many, I think her statements are definitely worthy of discussion.
Yeah, it’s a fetish thing. Let it go…
