"Why don't you hit me?" (or men of color versus white women: anatomy of a dilemma)

Abstract

Christopher Gallegos presents CSP readers with a very personal account on heterosexual attraction, and the levels of complexity that gender and ethnicity bring to this all too human experience. The piece is portrayed by the author as a "man of color's manifesto" against the marketing of the white woman as the sole example of female beauty. It is unfair to everyone: men and women of color and the white women themselves.
