I think a lot of this stuff being thrown around is conjecture. The hypothesizing percentages is especially comical to me in absence of empirical evidence.
Having winged with plenty of white guys, I don't think race is that big an issue and, to the extent that it would be, is difficult to prove. I've outgamed my white friends with their own women many times. Unless a girl flat out tells me she doesn't date "n*ggers" or some shit I really can't point to race as an excuse. There are too many attraction triggers out there that seduce a chick.
I doubt on average that the white guys on this board have smashed white chicks as bad or badder than the ones I have. I think access (class) is more important than race.
Top shelf is top shelf. Everyone is going to have to apply themselves to bag quality. Period.
The US is an extremely diverse and multiethnic country with hundreds of millions of people. You'll find pairings of all kinds.
Before you wonder what role race plays, ask yourself if you've really made an effort to get with chicks of different races. Have you really put in the work?
Also, even in the case of interracial marriage, the white female/black male is only second to the white male/asian female combo. So I would like to think that, all else being equal, black guys shouldn't hold back from approaching white girls merely due to skin color (you have relatively good odds).
Improve yourself so that you can get access to better talent (regardless of race) and then put in the work before you start lamenting about the role race plays in getting notches.
Try that "kumbayah" perspective with online dating. You'll change your perspective quick. Online, women are most free to indulge their true preferences.
Fact is, it makes a huge difference. Like the other poster said, women don't ignore your race.
As a thought experiment, imagine going up to a hot white chick and being tiger woods (high status/money), then imagine not being tiger woods. You can't tell me there's no difference between the two just because you have game.
Lol. Online dating? Still not buying it. Tons of white guys here complain about pipelining. Have you even bothered to investigate? Check the OKC thread. Every man reports getting shot down by 4s and 5s behaving like they're 8s and 9s.
Many times you see a white guy with a hot/top shelf white girl, it's because of social circle. They went to school together, friends of co-workers/friends, etc.
To an extent, race comes into play in the fact that neighborhoods in the States are more or less still segregated, despite the country's great diversity. White people have, on average, more opportunities to date other whites while the same is true for blacks.
Wherever I've seen blacks who are sociable and grew up in white neighborhoods with white social circles, they have done well and more or less on par with their white counterparts. The same is true for whites who hang around minorities. They pull minority chicks all the time.
I happened to grow up in an extremely diverse environment where competition for punany was fierce and all races competed for the same opportunity. I've seen so many pairings that transcend the type of limitations you are suggesting that I don't look at race as a major factor on a personal level.
In a real life setting, lots of different factors come into play. You should never use online dating as a metric of gauging racial preferences in this country. Too simplistic and, again, difficult to prove.
I can't tell you how many black guys I know personally that exclusively date white or non-black women. This is common in many places, especially on the west coast.
Again, the numbers don't lie. For even in interracial marriages, the white female/black male combo is only second to the asian female/white male combo. I believe it. I've winged with plenty of white guys and have seen the thirst in asian chicks when my white friends approach. White guys have a monopoly on that all day.
But I wouldn't say in pure pick up settings they have an advantage with white chicks by default. American white girls are mainly the reason a lot of us are tired of American girls in general!
