This brings up an important point. Discounting Japan and China whose culture has never penetrated western conciseness, you have to have a civilization to have fables / fairy tails / great classics of the written word - whatever the hell you want to call a story that has been around for 500 years.
So once again leaving aside Japan and China global civilization pretty much means EUROPE.
Anything denying this reality is a BROWN-OUT™️

The real reason everything is "white" is because there are no African stories. I was forced to take African history in college as an elective, and boy oh boy was I surprised to learn a few things.
1) Africa left the stone age 800 years ago when Arabs showed up.
2) Almost all of the past 800 years of African history is written by Arabs.
3) Their biggest African story is a ripoff of Beowulf.
4) There are African Nations that have no concept of time.
5) There are only two structures in Africa that we could call modern. One was a fort built by a supposed Zulu king, and another was a round wall of stacked stones. That's it.
That's why there's no African anything on TV, because they never made anything. The richest continent on the planet, full of people who never did anything throughout history.

The Aksumite empire traded with the Roman Empire, which was a bit longer than 800 years ago.

You must have attended college during the stone ages. They have found much historical evidence of advanced civilization in Africa. It's all described in a documentary called Black Panther.

It's got the same beginning as Beowulf minus the being from a giant bit. Basically the mom gets abortion leaves and it takes her 7 years to give birth. Then the kid is a cripple and can't stand, but he eventually makes it. Kills a bunch of lions and elephants. Etc, etc.
It was really bizarre reading this story while having recently read Beowulf and The saga of the Volsungs.

The white ones are the most beautiful. And the most precious.

Just start being honest with these people. “People prefer white women. They are more beautiful than other races.”

Absolutely. The truth is the only answer that matters.

While I agree with you I also have to say that you have clearly never been to Tennessee.
[update] I have never been to Tennessee and I know nothing of the women there other than the Appalachians in general has a reputation for hillbillys and trailer trash. My offhand remark is nothing more than a cheap shot joke at that state's expense. I am sure there are many lovely and charming women in Tennessee. As well its share of dog ugly meth whore skank whores, just like any other state. Please do not attempt to read too much into my low brow, uninformed, and generally stupid attempt at a bit of levity.

Why? Are there a lot of oil drillers in Tennessee?

Well, you can cherry pick beautiful hispanic women, or the occasional negro that has features unlike 99.9% of her race, or even the ugly white women on meth and the third helping of communal genes, but let’s be real for a minute and come to an agreement about averages and meanings of the words we use.
