Is the UK porn industry overtly racist

by glimmer of hope
A question often asked and one which folk never seem to have the stomach to answer on other forums, hope this forum will be different in allowing this topic to be discussed.
Anyways, it appears that the UK porn industry/established female pornstars are refusing to work with black guys/women, omar big willy williams is finding it hard to work with females in the biz, whereas in the states lexington steel who is black is probably the number 1 stud in the biz, why are uk based female porno stars refusing to work with black guys, only 2-3 females work with black guys, layla jade, wendy, sarah.
come on, lets have an organised discussion please and not a slanging match!

Interesting point. But are you going to suggest that this should be reported to the relevant authorities?

Racism in porn isn't just restricted to the UK. Yankie starlet Jenna Haze hasn't done interracial and she says that she never will yet she doesn't think that it's racist (funny logic!) and I don't remember seeing Jenna Jameson ever doing a black guy either (If she has, then I stand corrected). I don't mean to sound like I'm being sexist but it's pretty hypocritical when women think that all guys are shallow and only care about what's on the outside but when it comes to women they'll refuse to have sex with a guy solely on his skin colour. The most ridiculous "excuse" I've heard some women give for not having sex with a black guy is because of his penis size, not his skin colour - as if he's going the have the length of the Jahre Viking or the girth of a giant sequoia.

I don't think anyone was aware that there IS a 'problem'.
Where is the evidence for your assertion? Judging from Omar's output and the frequency of appearances by Karl Kincaid and others, I'd say that you were imagining things.
There do seem to be fewer black female performers, but I'm guessing that racism, imagined or otherwise, has little to do with that.

Hmm. Officer Dibble?s one of those who has the balls to comment on anything controversial, so?
I have come across one or two models that have indicated that that they would be none to keen working with black guys. But what can you say? It's their choice. Are you suggesting that maybe female porn stars be allocated a quota of black guys to shag and if they don't then they would be hauled up before some equal opportunities committee? You can't force people in these instances. If they don?t fancy it, they don?t fancy it and that?s that. I don?t really think it?s a significant enough problem (if problem it is) for us to be wringing our hands over.
But your post did put me in mind of one mildly dusky and exceedingly tasty model who considers herself Italian but who is most visibly ethnically Arab (I guess her Sicilian ancestors must have been 'fraternising' with the invading Moors in days of yore) I recall said to me "Oh, I could never 'do it' with a black guy" as though it was beneath her, but there she was resplendent in her beautiful north African tan complexion. I didn't say anything, but it was ironic that she should be turning her nose up, as she?s certainly not Caucasian herself.
Dib.

There are fewer black girls in UK porn probably becuase less than 5% of the British population is not white so it's not unreasonable to expect less than 5% of UK female performers not to be white.

Where you argument falls down is in that the vast majority of the better-known UK porn ladies film in the US, where probably the majority of male performers are black. So whilst the girls may not be getting shagged by black performers in the UK, they are when they film over the pond, so it can hardly be an issue of their person preclusions. Take a look at the number of British girls who have appeared in RedLightDistrict films (a company that uses almost exclusively black males), for example - just off the top of my head, their Black Dicks in White Chicks series (the clue's in the title) has featured Angel Long, Ashley Long, Rebekah Jordan and Jessie J. If you want to accuse anyone of racism, perhaps you should be looking at the producers rather than the performers. And presuming the producers know their market, perhaps it's the UK consumers that are the problem.

maybe its glimmer of hope's 'problem'

Regardless of the factual merits of your post (dubious imho) a woman has the totally justified legal right to have sex or not have sex with whoever she wants, for whatever reason.
