So basically, this data confirms what everybody sees in reality: that white people are considered the most beautiful by every other race; even to the point that adding "whiteness" to your racial profile will increase interest in your overall profile. That's why in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia; the most successful, attractive people shown in the media have White features or are very light skinned.

Now, here's a better question about this data: would this study be considered "racist" if Black or Asian people were considered the most attractive?

I'm guessing no. "Anti-racism" is just another way to say "anti-white".

You got a zero from black women.

edit: I'm sorry - you got a zero in 2009. Now it's a -12%, twice the second lowest percentage.

Yup ... this one is particularly interesting/weird.

Black women carry this behavior over to black men they perceive as "white" ... (interests, speech that sort of thing). As a black man it really is kind of perplexing.
