Maybe you would expect sexism but not racism

Whilst we are on the subject of agents asking what you are and are not willing to do I had a rather surreal experience with an agent in Los Angeles during a stint out to porn valley. I was now accustomed to filing in forms with little boxes to tick and was up to speed on all the abbreviations and porn lingo.
The agent read through the list for me ticking as I absent mindeley agreed to everything he said until he spoke of an option had never been suggested to me in England. He also took the level of his voice down to that of a whisper as he said it which I though an odd thing to do in a busy office filled with chatting porn stars and desperate producers.
“Interracial” he said. I stopped day dreaming and sat up straight thinking, what’s interracial?
I know what interracial means. It means relationships of mixed race where one person is for example white and the other black.
I thought... solo, girl/girl, boy/girl, group, anal, double penetration, water sports and now interracial. How on earth was interracial a sex style?
Then it dawned on me that no one back home was bothered about what colour their performers were as long as they had dicks and pussys they were in.
Oh my gosh. I was experiencing my first racial moment. Apparently the whispering was necessary because where some folk were from in that big old country interracial was a terrible thing and we didn’t want to go upsetting anyone in the office by uttering such harsh words did we?
For a moment I though id walked off of that air plane in 1950 or 1960 maybe, not modern day America.
I replied with a loud “yes” and tried to remind myself that it takes allsorts to make the world go around.
