I find it odd that women get paid more for interracial scenes. One has to assume that the more degrading or painful an act is, the higher the pay. So is fucking a black guy considered degrading? Porn industry is racist.
This is a remarkably hard thing to google. FWIW, Stoya says yeah, it's pretty racist. It sounds like there's a perception that doing interracial scenes will alienate racist fans. It seems plausible that it might pay more because of that (perceived?) risk. But then she seems to think that the racists are the ones interracial porn is marketed towards.
A lot of people do, unfortunately, find interracial marriage and/or sex to be degrading, especially to the women. As racist as it may be, I agree with you that that is probably the case.
I could be wrong here, but I think some clichés may ring true. Could it be it just hurts more because of you know…..
