I read somewhere that to whites, making eye contact indicates honesty and openness, but among blacks it connotes impertinence and a lack of respect. So, a black person who doesn’t make eye contact is simply being polite, yet a white person might interpret this as suspicious. On the other hand, a white who makes eye contact with a black might be viewed as having an arrogant attitude. But that doesn’t answer Denise C’s question. Perhaps white males avoid making eye contact with black females for the same reason they avoid eye contact with white females – they’re shy, and they’re embarrassed to be caught admiring an attractive woman.
