I would say that maybe the economic factor is important in arguing that woman are more interested in white and asian males, but from my point of view you are disregarding a whole propaganda scheme. By this, I mean, is it really the third world, the poor, who is looking forward disliking their own race? Or is it maybe the entire media structure, with its inherently racist and white superiority complex that wants us (hispanic/black people) to believe that we are inferior as a way of control, of maintaining their own power?

I’m just saying this because from my experience, puertorricans that have not been submerged in American media throughout years (like me) tend to be more ethnocentric and dislike euro-american standards of living and beauty. People in the country and with less education, tend to be racist towards people in power (white/higher class), and thus are not attracted to them. But this is not mathematic information, it is my experience.

Towards your last question: does classism needs to be fought? I would say yes, classism needs to be fought, because education and economic status does not define the value of a human being. If we truly believe in equallity the least we can aspire to is to equal oportunities to everyone. I know it is idealist, but we all need something to believe in.
