I believe the whole TropesInAggregate thing is indeed a goo way of describing this trope.

This trope is never outright stated in movies or in series (except in ''JungleFever'' where that's the whole point of the movie). Sometimes it's ''blatant'' (such as ''ThePelicanBrief''), sometimes it's invoked (''WaitingToExhale'' where Bernardine laments how her husband leaving her for a White woman only makes matters worse).

In early seasons of {{ER}}, Eriq Lasalle's character had a brief relationship with a British white woman and invoked this trope as for why they couldn't be together, among other things linked to his position and his family.

The only time (to my knowledge) where it was stated outright was in KanyeWest's ''Gold Digger'' song where he states that if the Black gold digger in question, her guy will leave her for a white girl. AndThatsTerrible.

ChrisRcok also alluded to this issue in his show ''Kill The Messenger'' where he talks about interracial relationships of Black man/White woman from Black women's perspective, saying that Black women aren't attracted to Whitey the same way Black men are attracter to White ladies. (ie Black women would settle for a REALLY, REALLY hot White men, while Black men would fuck any White woman.)
