"i like white boys"

AS I READ FURTHER INTO MY BOOK TODAY I FINISHED ONE STORY, AND STARTED THE SHORT STORY "I LIKE WHITE BOYS".I BECAME VERY SURPRISED AT THE RACIAL COMMENTS THAT WENT ON IN THIS PARTICULAR PART IN THE BOOK.BASICALLY THIS VERY DARK SKIN BLACK GIRL LIKES WHITE BOYS.THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE WHITE BOY LIKES WHITE GIRLS.SO BECAUSE OF THIS EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE MAIN CHARACTER OR "THE BLACK GIRL" FOUND OUT ABOUT HER CRUSH AND BEGINS TO TEASE HER BECAUSE SHE'S NOT ONLY AN OUCAST BUT SHE DOESNT ACT LIKE THE REST OF THE BLACK KIDS SO TO SPEAK.THE ONE RACIAL COMMENT SAID TO THE BOY THAT SHE LIKED WAS VERY OFFENSIVE TO ME.ONE BOY CAME UP TO HIM AND SAID "ITS TIME TO DUMP YOUR GIRLFRIEND WENDY ATLEAST GOING WITH ERICA U GET TWO FOR ONE A BLACK GIR ON THE OUTSIDE AND A WHITE GIRL ON THE INSIDE.I CANT REALLY EXPLAIN HOW THAT MADE ME FEEL.BUT THESE ARE ONLY SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT CHILDREN DEAL WITH GOING TO SCHOOL EACH DAY.

Yeah, it's ugly. Do people you know deal with this same problem (being mocked for "BLACK GIR ON THE OUTSIDE AND A WHITE GIRL ON THE INSIDE")?
