Thanks for reading, Michael, and thanks for that link. I honestly don’t know how I missed that one in my research. I did however see data from Pornhub Insights that found searches for black racial terms were the top in the Deep South. The top search was “ebony,” which is a descriptor only used for black women, so that can partly be explained by the fact that 50 percent of the US black population lives in the South. “Ebony” is a bit more flattering than the more degrading, objectifying term “BBC,” so I would imagine its more common in intraracial porn marketed to a black audience.

At the same time, the largest black population, as a percentage, is in Georgia, which is around 35–40 percent IIRC, so at least part of the popularity is driven by demand from white men. Anyways, it was somewhat ambiguous and didn’t fit too well with my thesis, which focused on BMWF, but I might try to go back and edit it to work in that link you gave me. Thanks again.
