Whites/Blacks who make dating Blacks/Whites into a fetish activity. That is, theyre consumed by the mythology behind a persons race (ie virility of Black men, the Black penis, Blacks as more primitive and closer to the mythical Jungle, etc.) than the person him/herself. Many are attracted to such relationships because they perceive them as transgressive and are turned on by that.
Not all Black-White relationships are based on Jungle Fever. However, one may be able to identify relationships that are based on Jungle Fever by analyzing the couples dating history. For instance, if a White person who lives in an area with few Blacks has only dated Blacks, then its likely that that person has Jungle Fever.
