I think this might be a uniquely American , possibly even more specifically uniquely Black + White American thing…
Because this programming, in ads, sports and sitcoms, is exactly the same as this video depicts, and as you describe, but there is hardly any gender imbalance, in that sense…
Clearly, there’s historic/cultural stuff at play, here, but “white man black woman” relationships are definitely not looked down upon in the way you describe, to the same extent…
So that’s possibly “unique” to the American context, you might say…
And the Chinese, for whom the concept of dating a white man is, unsurprisingly, highly looked down upon… From experience, lol.
In the end, this comes down more to politics than anything else.

Are you talking about from the Chinamen in charge? Because almost every Chinese woman in China wants a wealthy White guy to get her pregnant and when they bag one it's totally something she brags about with her mates. (I also flirted for a while with an Australian Chinese girl, and we never actually dated but she gave no indication that it was looked down upon in Oz either. Not that I would have asked her family for their opinion anyway...)

Chinese girls living in Aus. Like… Best described as “temporary immigrants”, with the intention of moving back later…
Slightly different to assimilated, second-Gen immigrants. Slightly different also to, say, a girl growing up poor on the streets or something…
They would not date, nor even befriend, white men.
So yeah.
By your argument, I wasn’t “wealthy”, but then, they showed zero interest in any other “white male”, either. Wasn’t just me, lol…
