Wow. So now it “scientifically proven” that we’re less than? Articles like this really bug me because women who may actually believe this about themselves now have “proof”.

this ridiculousness made me so angry, i’ve yet to be able to even formulate a coherent response. as someone else stated, beauty is subjective. but this supposed universal idea of beauty which is nothing but racist ideology that has been passed down, indoctrinated, and conditioned into everyone (even our own) is supposed to be quantifiable and measured scientifically. gtfohwtbs. yeah, i’m still angry.

thank you to this study…this is the reason why so many of our black women grow up with low self esteem and lack respect for themselves, because it is telling us that,….we aren’t as pretty, thin and smart as white, asian, hispanic women…smh

Just a lil background on the “scientist” — Kanazawa’s theories on race and intelligence are extremely controversial. Kanazawa has argued that Asian cultural traditions and/or character inhibit Asian scientific creativity as well as statin…g that lack of health in some African countries is NOT due to poverty but due to lower IQ. He is a promoter of “racist stereotypes” and was deemed “the great idiot of social science” by P.Z. Myers.
We ARE beautiful!

I’m disgusted but here’s a link to the article.

I need someone who’s not american to not comment on why black women in america are less attractive. That is all.

“At the end of each interview, the interviewer rates the physical attractiveness of the respondent objectively on the following five-point scale…”
Nonsense. If the interviewer is human, and if this interviewing human has lived longer than 20 minutes, than this interviewer’s “objectivity” has already been shaped by class, by culture, by personal experience.
In other words, “the interviewer rates the physical attractiveness of the respondent SUBJECTIVELY on the following five-point scale….” because that’s what we do. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks for posting the actual article. I think PT must have deleted it. This is the first site I’ve found with the whole text. Reading it doesn’t change my mind that it’s pure garbage.
Coincidentally, I posted on race and beauty just this morning before seeing the PT article. There are a lot of interesting perceptions out there, past and present on the issue. Here’s some of what I wrote:
I have noticed one use of the terms ‘black’ and ‘white’ in literature of which I’ll give just two examples. The first is found in The Song of Solomon 1:5-6: “I am black, but comely…Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.” Solomon’s beloved apologizes for being black and says she is beautiful in spite of her skin color. The term ‘black’ seems here to be synonymous with ‘ugly.’ Granted, Solomon’s beloved gained darker color because of working in the vineyards and not necessarily because of race, but the verse doesn’t say “I am tan, but comely.”
Before I give my second example, here are some of Webster’s definitions of ‘fair:’
“Fair: Clear; free from spots; free from a dark hue; white; as a fair skin; a fair complexion. Hence, Beautiful; handsome; properly having a handsome face, pleasing to the eye…just, equitable…not foul…honest, honorable, civil, liberal, free from stain or blemish…”
My second example comes from Romeo and Juliet. Romeo likens Juliet’s beauty, when compared to other women, to “a snowy dove trooping with crows” and to “a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear.” It would seem, at least in the times of Shakespeare, King James, and Noah Webster, that the terms ‘black’ and ‘white’ meant ‘ugly’ and ‘beautiful.’ In the Shakespeare quote, an ‘Ethiope’ is the embodiment of ‘ugly.”

Just a heads up but the writer of this article is a member of Stormfront. I am pretty sure once the magazine gets wind of this the article will be retracted.

I like how the original author posits black women are considered significantly less attractive by his graphs. Take the first Wave I, for example:
White women: 3.73
Black women: 3.522
Asian women: 3.737
Native American women: 3.66
Um…….how is 3.522 statistically significant compared to 3.73, 3.737, and 3.66? Who is this dude, and did he not take a basic statistics class? I guess anyone can get a PhD these days.

I’m so glad you post these articles because we need to know what is out there and available for mental consumption. You never really know what your counterparts are reading and where their ideas are coming from. As black women, we need to read this and chuckle. It doesnt infuriate me or make me question whether I am attractive. This country,since the beginning of time, has tried to make us feel less than we are. Still we continue to be object of desire for people from all backgrounds and not just the guys..Its commerce and deemed to be offensive. We’re copied, envied, sought after, and praised for all of our gifts. Its so obvious…:)
