This trope's default title is a bit problematic. For two reasons.

First of all, for the sake of the Wiki. The trope's definition is not clear enough at first glance. The original title implies that it's about black men that fetishize white women. But according to the description and alternate titles (White Gal With Black Guy, White Gal On Black Guy Drama) the trope is about prejudice that black man white women couples face as a result of racist bias and double standards. Nearly all of the examples reflect the latter. But the trope title does nothing to reflect the content of it. As a result, the Playing With section of the trope attempted to play with the idea of a black man fetishizing white women as opposed to a BMWW couple facing prejudice. The latest version of the page to reflect this was the "Aug 9th 2019 at 10:15:25 AM" edit.

Second. The less important reason, for the sake of integrity. The trope title is pretty stereotypical of black men. In fact the playing with section was full of crude and just incorrect Ebonic dialect before I fixed it, and this nonsense:

Where da White Women At??
Why, on da main page, yo!
Thanks fo' da tip, nigga!

I did the work on the Laconic, Trope Description, and Playing With Section to iron the trope toward discussing interracial relationships. All that needs to be done now is to change the title (And the original image). My suggestion is this https://imgur.com/a/OCPbQaY or this https://imgur.com/a/YrthfuK (Later is of Louisa and Louis Gregory)

Potential renames:

Any of the alternate titles

Black Guy On White Gal Drama

Sorry for the wait, ~Captain JJC.

However, I have to decline as you mentioned misuse, but didn't show clear evidence of misuse. Anecdotal evidence does not count.
