The Reality of Racial Preferences
Online dating platforms have made it easier for people to express their racial preferences, often leading to racial biases. From my experience, these biases can significantly impact the dating experiences of racial minorities1.

Stereotypes play a significant role in online dating. Racial stereotypes can influence perceptions and interactions, often leading to harmful biases and discrimination2. It's crucial to challenge these stereotypes to foster a more inclusive online dating environment.
