The Real Problem With Fetishization (And Why You Shouldn’t Fall In Love With Someone’s Identity), by Kovie Biakolo, Thought Catalog, Feb. 5, 2015. (The author discusses “'positive racism' – ascribing considerably positive ideas about a community as a part of the nature of that community. 'Positive racism' however, is still racism. And in this case, fetishization. And altogether it is harmful. You can appreciate culture, and appreciate a lover’s culture without commodifying who they are and all they do within the confined space of {what is probably} a monolithic understanding of their culture.")

‘Sleeping With A Rasta’: Article Reveals The Reality Of Male Prostitution In Jamaica, by Brunno Braga, Travel Noire, Nov. 27, 2022.

"Many female tourists have a fantasy about renting a Black man for a week.")

CO-VIDs: the semiotics of "cuck", by Ian Danskin, a YouTube video uploaded Aug. 31, 2020, to the Innuendo Studios channel.
