As a broad response, of course there is racism in porn. Why? Because "porn," like most industries, is made up of people, and there is racism in people, to some degree or another.

Please forgive the above sentence. It's lumpy, but I think it gets the message across.

Now, with regards to the "labels" put on certain kinds of porn, that's nothing more than a device to help people find what they're looking for. If you want to look at beautiful black women, you'd appreciate a category on a link site that said "black," rather than wade through a lot of sites containing white women.

Yes, many of the beautiful black women would fit quite nicely into the category "babes," but that category is generally reserved for beautiful white women. This is one of the many things in life I can't explain.

This is a *business.* We do what sells. If the surfers out there want to see sites described as "nigger sex," then there are webmasters who will thusly describe their sites. Does that make them "racist" or does that make them business people who work with what sells?

I have no answer for the question. I do know that it was difficult enough to write that word in the above paragraph. I wouldn't use it on a text link.

A long time ago, I wrote custom interracial stories for a paysite. I managed to do it without ever using that word or words like them. I wrote about people who got hot for one another. Some were white, some were black, all were merrily fucking. The owners of the paysite were happy, and complimented me by telling me their members were happy.

No matter where you go or what you do, you will encounter racism or bigotry in some form. It isn't fair, it isn't right...it just "is."
