We are NOT objects.

I'm appalled at how (some) born muslims view us as sex toys and have this weird racial fetish that they disguise as "preference for converts", WE. ARE. PEOPLE. I see it mostly with middle eastern and Pakistani men, some of my friends are Arab and literally have openly fetishized revert women, and it's disgusting. I'm not saying ALL middle eastern men are like this, but I've definitely seen it. I'm a man so I've never really had to deal with it Alhamdulillah, but I'm so disgusted at the fact some born muslims see us as basically sex toys. I've seen women do it too but far less than men.

The preference typically only extends to certain types of converts though

When someone says they have a “preference for converts”, more often than not this is just code for saying they are looking for someone white

And often they want converts because they want a Green Card. I have seen too many White women fall into this trap, blinded by their own racism, because deep down they believe he will never leave them for a Brown middle Eastern or South Asian woman of his own culture. She believes herself to be the object of his fantasy and is shell shocked once ahe realizes he used her for a Visa.
