I know I sound like an incel, but is there any race that biracial women go with besides always being with white guys? (piefed.world)

I watch a lot of TikTok and noticed they go after them. I know it isn't my business, but they are my ideal preference, and also I'm not white. Yes, I get that I'm generalizing, but it gets to a certain point where it has some truth to it. Don't ban me, please; I just want at least advice or anything, tbh. Also, sorry for making a weird question; I don't mean to offend anyone or bring controversy into race when it comes to dating.

Read "Black skin white masks" from Fanon. He talks about this phenomenon and race in general.

Edit: Explaining a little bit about what's on the book on this.

Basically, on the racist framework of society, black will always be bad, being black as the worst and lowest of the social hierarchy. Being mixed, means almost white, almost there, so a white man is the necessary status to be or feel white, also kids would be whiter. Going with a black man means going back, retrograding into a state of blackness, etc.

I'm not saying this about these women specifically, but at the structural level, what is expected in relation to race.

Edit 2: wording
