Why are you thinking about sex in the middle of a discussion of racism in the first place, Dakota? It seems really odd to me.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I think about sex all the time. It's the American Way.

Given the choice where would someone in Africa wish to immigrate to?
Well, I've been to Africa. I've met and know people from Africa. Ascertaining where someone in (and presumably from) Africa would emigrate to is impossible. Some certainly would like to come to America. A Sengalese guy I know prefers America over Paris because there's less racism here. However, that's not to say our nation welcomes him with open arms - he just prefers the level of racism here to that of the French. Plus, as he says, American women are easier than French women.
That said, I know scores of people around the world who do not deign to emigrate to America. They're happy in other countries where they're making a living and contributing to society around them. It is foolhardy to presume that all people desire to live in America. Our media and our politicians certainly make it seem that way inside insular America, but the reality is anything but.
It's easy to make the connection between Whites and Americans in the pressing of Imperial power worldwide. After all, the United States has engaged in such measures for the past 150 years, toppling government after government, raping various nations' resources and generally causing mayhem around the world with no concern for other peoples because, well, they weren't White.
Hell, we even nuked the Japanese because they were considered inferior people to Whites.
