In continuation with "Self-Accountability Month" J.Mix sits down remotely with roommates Julie Dietz and Megan Whittle to explore their histories with racial fetishization and how it compares and contrasts to their innate attraction to other races. On the contrary, all three compare their own encounters with folks non-consensually fetishizing their bodies in comparison to the model race that represents that specific fetish.

J.Mix also sheds light on how she, as a black woman, can tell if someone is fetishizing her versus if they are showing genuine attraction. The three ladies also discuss (IG) @alexand_erleon 's excellent post on Sexual Racism and Erika Hart's (IG) @ihartericka mind-boggling Facebook Status on the dangers of having a "preference" in dating.

Also discussed is their collective thoughts on playing the highly recommended dating game "Monster Match," branded as a dating website that exposes the explicit bias of algorithms. It scales down the plethora amounts of dating apps so that they’re easier to understand. Instead of millions of users, there’s just you, a real human being, and 100 imaginary monster profiles. As you swipe right (to like) and left (to dislike) profiles, they show you how the next profile you’ll see is affected. You’ll get to know exactly what profiles you get—and miss out on—over the course of a few dozen swipes. All without actually having to go on any dates, talk to people, or put yourself out there.
