When I first started returning to the local club in the hopes of finding a Daddy, that's what I was looking for: someone who clicked with me as Daddy. Race? Whatever. Age? If we could click that way despite a generation gap or two, I'd give it a go. What I found was a blonde guy a head taller and six years younger than me. Go figure. However, as has been mentioned in various ways on this forum, there just aren't that many non-white people in the scene -- at least, not in the Seattle one. Granted, I was born and raised in Seattle, which adores diversity without having terribly much of it. A great story I read years ago (which could be kinky urban legend by now, as I don't have a source to cite): A kink club in a big city found a new place to hang out: a local bar. They had a few meetings there, and were getting glanced at and presumably talked about more than a bit by the regulars: many black 20 - 30-somethings in urban and/or hip-pop gear. Few in the leatherish faction were looking forward to it, but one night one of the regulars walked over to one of the meeting organizers and asked, "So, man -- what are you people about?" "Hey. We're a BDSM organization. We meet here once a month and discuss stuff like whipping, dominance and submission, bondage and such. You know, man, kinky stuff." "Damn, there's nothing kinky about wanting to tie your woman up." Both factions reportedly got along quite well after that ice breaker. If there's any truth to that story, one could draw the conclusion -- from, granted, a very small sampling -- that there are indeed kinky people of color out there, but that they either haven't found or don't feel that they have the need for a kinky community. Given that the same could be said for a great number of kinky white people, I figure it's mainly a question of ratios.
