About

Damn This White Boy Is Sexy! refers to a series of memes based on a comic panel in which a scantily clad woman makes a mental comment about a sexual appeal of a white man, with the thought bubble reading "Damn this white boy is sexy!" In edits, the plumber in the original panel is replaced with various characters.

Origin

On August 6th, 2018, Blacknwhitecomics^[1] artist Yair started a porn comic "Mike the Plumber in Make America Great Again" in which a white plumber has sex with several black women. On April 15th, the eight panel of the comic was posted.^[2] In the panel, one of the women observes the plumber at work and makes a mental comment about the man's sexual attractiveness (censored version shown below).

On May 4th, 2019, an unlogged Imgur^[7] user posted the earliest known derivative meme based on the image, replacing Pepe with a photograph of /r/Drama moderator (censored version shown below, left).
