So, I'm curious. As a white person dating a non-passing biracial guy, do I come under that 90%? Is it affected by the fact that I was friends with him for years before I dated him? Is it affected by the fact that he was raised "white" (single-parent family consisting of the white parent)? Or do those factors conspire to make him not a PoC? Or am I part of the 10%? Or am I secretly fetishising him despite the fact that I don't consider him any differently to any of the other people I've dated and that his race plays into how I regard him infinitely less than the fact that he's a nice guy who's geeky and silly and extremely intelligent and generally my type?

Also, what is your "basic probability" based on? How does one quantify fetishisation, particularly subconscious fetishisation? Your whole line of reasoning is so confusing to me.

That's 'cause it's a strawman troll.

Well, yes. But my default position when dealing with trolls is to engage them as if they were serious. If nothing else, it's good practice in keeping calm and constructing arguments against the patently ridiculous.

You have more patience than I do, that's for sure.

(previous anon, obs :) )

Patience and bloody-mindedness are so frequently confused. That's why one of my major couple activities with aforementioned boyfriend is getting into arguments with young-earth creationists on YouTube. That's definitely bloody-mindedness. Patience would imply there was a point. :p
