ABSTRACT
Aggression may also be more common in pornographic videos featuring Black female performers because of Black women’s lower status within the sex industry. Brooks reports less demand for dark-skin exotic dancers, who suffer from stereotypes and marginalization. Consequently, Black dancers are required to work harder for their money and adopt practices that are more dangerous in order to remain in the industry. The literature on Latina and Asian women in the media and in porn is significantly more limited that the literature on Black women. In addition, the representations of both Latina and Asian women remain relatively rare on television and in film. In terms of aggression, interviewees had differing opinions on the race/ethnicity of performers who were most likely to receive aggression.
