Androphile

A male who's sexually and/or romantically attracted to other males (MLM) and masculinity, usually in an equal relationship (i.e. around the same age).

From Greek andro- ("man", "male") + -phile ("loving"), from androphilia.

The term was coined by German sexologist and physician Magnus Hirschfeld in the early 20th century, specifically referring to adult men attracted to adult men, distinguishing them from pedophiles.

I'm just a man who loves men. I am an androphile.

I’m not gay, I’m an androphile.

The androphile is not a fundamentally different kind of man. He shares with other men the same essential masculinity, the same experience of maleness.

John: So, Jeff, are you... Androphilic?
Jeff: Haha, yes. Very much so.
John: Cool. Appearance of homophobia avoided.

afrophile

A non-black person who is fascinated with and drawn to black culture. This can be either in conjunction with "high culture" such as martin luther king and black history month, or popular culture such as gangsta rap and chris rock, but rarely both.

You know that an afrophile like Yitzchok would be a huge Snoop Dogg fan.

Julio is such an afrophile that he didn't think it was appropriate to listen to Reggaton on MLK day, out of reverence.
