Fellow blogger and friend Andres Duque of Blabbeando shines over at BBC, where he chats about Latino marginalization in gay communities: "For example, on the issues of immigration and political asylum the traditional gay organisations say that's not something they should be dealing with or focusing on." Wait, gay non-profits prefer white folk? Our world just crumbled… [BBC]

Queerty seems to be in an anti-logical push.
Aside from specific issues (immigration, etc.), his rationale for the group applies to many gay minorities — especially the part about people having a "'fetishistic view" of a entire race of people. While the media may play up the sexual aspect, I also know many people who are of one race who "prefer" people of a specific (and different than their own) race.
Conversely, there are those people who seek anyone except one race. A friend of mine did a non-scientific test on Craig's List after seeing an ad posted by someone who was looking for anyone except black guys — which the poster specifically stated.
My friend posted two ads that were exactly the same. In one he stated he was black and in the other he didn't include his race. He got responses to the one that didn't include his race and no responses to the one that said he's black.
I'm not saying preference shouldn't matter or that people have to be sexually attracted to all races. I'm just saying that what prompted Andres to found his group is similar to what a lot of minorities go through.
