As for the term "snow bunny" never liked nor have personally use the term, heard it a bunch though lol...I'll give my opinion on your second paragrah. You say black woman are altering there appearance to look more white, wearing Weave, skin lightening, and or straightening there hair. Which is true ( not too sure about the skin bleaching) I see this myself but what you fail to mention is that the cultural lines have and will always get mashed up when you have race populating the same area. Whites women wear braids and corn rows Bantu knots and the such. Which have been in black culture for years.. and yes I will say this the meaning of beauty has been tainted by the media. And as for lighter skined blacks or those blacks that want to be white as you say.. may or may not be a direct result of the media's take on beauty.. but i find beauty in all races all shades. Im proud to be black.. but if I dress up and use proper grammar which I do from time to time lol... does that make me act or want to be white?Yeah i was generalising a bit too much. It may be true for some but not all. It's just that i noticed a photo on instagram of some black motorcyclist or something and he was with his girlfriend who was white and he tagged it #snowbunny and the comments man... you'd think this was something truly awe inspiring and lets just say i don't think he would have gotten bigged up quite so much if she was black.
Not to mention things like #snowbunny which from an outsiders view (i am neither black nor white)just seems... i don't know, sort of weird maybe even kinda pathetic. I mean i find white women attractive, or should i say i find attractive white women attractive, just in general if a woman is attractive then she is attractive simple as for me, why single out one race of women and then make some stupid hashtag out of them?. But i noticed some blacks get real defensive and maybe even a little bit butthurt if you say white women don't go for black men (which may or may not be true depending on the individual but ultimately is redundant, who cares what other people think?) and white or other races of men i noticed don't really go for other races in quite the same way.
White and hispanic for example is a much more popular interracial pairing and is the most common in many areas and yet there is no hashtags or social campaigns for it and i don't think either would care if someone said one isn't into the other, you know what i mean?. Then you get to this freaky cuck thing which seems to have a strong bias which we all know. I don't know man it's hard to put in words, maybe it's more of an American kind of thing.
As for the black women not being attractive, i noticed something after reading a article about skin bleaching pretty much all the well known black women aren't really black, but mixed race and quite heavily so. And they seem to take additional measure to look less black i.e they seem to get lighter as time goes by (skin bleaching?) they wear their hair straight or wear weaves, and perhaps most importantly their facial features bear a stronger resemblance to those of white women than those of black women. Maybe it's a media kind of thing or a matter of preference or possibly an attitude problem on respect of black women. But i just get the feeling that if they had the choice most black people would prefer to be mixed race than black, I've seen #teamlightskin and all this talk of 'good hair' and light skin and it's odd when you consider those features aren't really found in blacks.
As for your last point...I've got to ask, if the taboo is the main driving factor then surely today there is relatively little taboo about it right, and in the future there may be no taboo at all. So what then? Do you think people will settle down to their own once there is no excitement factor to it and it has become ordinary, or will it get more and more common or will there maybe even be a new race pairing that is pushed? (the media has a bit of an odd thing for ww and bm and acts like it is the only way of making stuff more diverse is to cram a token black into it and his white gf/wife/lover just check the interracial in the media thread out. It's not even that popular irl so i just don't get it.)
And as for the taboo of blacks and whites dating or having serious relationships, yes its more open in some places but not in all. It's still people who don't date outside their race and some places where you will be harassed for doing so.. plus there are a lot of black men who have never slept with a white woman, view the act as a taboo. The same for white women who haven't slept with black men, I dated a white woman who I asked "why did you start dating black men" and she said "because I was taught not to" so to do it was something against what she was taught, which lead to curiosty.. so I say that yes it's a more accepted act now but the underlining belief " it's not right" is still very much there
