Yes. And I think that this is true in YouTube. Popular YouTuber couples are generally heterosexual, and when there is a black person, it "sells" better to have a white person as a partner. It is seen as "unvaluable" to have two black people. Also mixed-race couples are exoticized. These harmful ideas are all over media.
