Discussion History Main / BlackGalOnWhiteGuyDrama

I\\\'m so sorry, I\\\'m about to go into one of my oversensitive rant modes again, and I do apologize in advance... but, I think the title of this trope should perhaps be changed. Like the newly changed Asian Gal with White Guy Drama (used to be called \\\"Love You Long Time\\\"), I think the title is racially insensitive for this reason. Use of the word \\\"On\\\". When I think of a something-on-something interaction, I think of violence! (I.e. \\\"black on black crime\\\"). For me, this draws the stereotypical Unfortunate Implications about black women: overly aggressive, loud, animalistic, throwing themselves at white men like they\\\'re going out of style. And also, the title indicates that it\\\'s black women going after white men, not the other way around. Whereas in the Black men/white women article, it indicates that it\\\'s black men going after white women. This makes it seem like the black person, male or female, is always chasing after the white person. More Unfortunate Implications. The Asian woman/white man article uses \\\"with\\\" instead of \\\"on\\\". That\\\'s far better in my view.
