Pornography based on the ethnicity of performers is often objected to on the grounds that it is Racist , frequently representing its subjects as Ethnic Stereotype s, and also on the grounds that it Objectifies its subjects, presenting ethnicity as a "flavour" of sexual encounter. Nevertheless, it remains extremely popular, both on its own, and in conjunction with other genres of pornography. TYPES OF ETHNIC STEREOTYPES IN PORNOGRAPHY Where the general audience is appealed to, ethnic pornography typically features ethnic groups that are familiar in a particular country, such as members of significant minority groups, particularly those seen as most Exotic . They may be seen as sexually unattainable, and therefore mysterious and exciting, or as promiscuous or sexually biddable. In the wake of the current conflict between the West and some countries in the Middle East, pornography catering for Westerners' curiosity about Muslim men and women has also appeared. A new genre of Iraq War -themed pornography, depicting Western men and Arab women, has arisen in the mid-2000s, perhaps inspired by the Abu Ghraib Scandal .

For example, there are a number of Jewish pornography websites whose material seems primarily directed at Jews or Asian themed sites that target East Asian men. There are also pornography websites aimed at the Arab, Indian and Pakistani markets, countries where traditional morals and attitudes toward women make dating difficult or impossible for many young men. Ethnic pornography also frequently depicts sex acts between people of different ethnicities, commonly known as Interracial Pornography , perhaps for visual contrast, or (particularly in the U.S.) for extra titillation by breaking Taboos regarding the depiction of Ethnic Stereotype s and even the highly sensitive taboo subjects of ethnic tensions and old anti- Miscegenation laws. Holocaust Pornography Holocaust pornography functions at the extreme end of Jewish pornography, according to New York writer and columnist, Joshua Cohen, based in Israel and made mostly by Israelis for their own sexual gratification. However, as part of the Nazi exploitation cinema, Holocaust porn is also made throughout Europe and America, by Magnum Video (Italy), Videatrics and All American Video (US), Video City Video and others. The terror of the Holocaust is re-enacted in staged photographs and in films. The images and tapes, although grainy and black-and-white are clearly contemporary.
