Do bl*ck guys prefer wh*te girls?

Last month I moved from an almost all white school to a school with a population of half black and half white. At my old school, not a bunch of guys ever hit on me. It seems like at my new school, a bunch of black guys are hitting on me. I've had one who wanted to be my boyfriend and another one who randomly told me I was beautiful. It seems like interracial couples are becoming more popular nowadays. Is this just me, or are black guys becoming more attracted to white girls? If so, why?
