Somewhat related to that point is an interesting cultural phenomenon I have noticed. Most black women in American entertainment do everything they can to look like white women.Quote:

Those two could very well be white girls with heavy tans.
What does this say about our society... about our standard of beauty?
PJ, a very good point!
I very much hope people understand that I talk about personal preference, and not about a racistic view at large.
Hey, I wish I was turned on by black women, would have broadend my playing field (before I had my English rose).
But if you look at society at large, yes, black women are not as lucrative on the market as others. And from what I have seen, nor are black men (if anyone have other experiences please do share! I can only speak from a very personal standpoint, and from what I have read/seen/heard black men aren't exactly seen as a "catch" when it comes to intriducing your new spouse to the family, I would blame bigotry on this, and if not, well maybe they have some other reason, like statistics or whatever).
Hmmm... I forgot I was on an american forum with american standards!
Sorry for refering to black people as black people... But "afro-american" just don't jibe on an international board. And you can't really say africans as then you have to include people from, say, Tunisia or South Africa.
So let's go with "blacks".
The African character (Sheva Alomar) in Resident Evil 5 is hot.
I live in an area where there are no African-American women. So it's very unlikely that I'll date one anytime soon.
From what I've seen, Northern and Eastern Europeans, Central Asians, and East Asians have the most hottest women in proportion to their entire population. Particularly, Finland, Sweden, Slovenia, Poland, Czech Republic, Iran, Kazakhstan, Korea, and Vietnam have the prettiest women. It's ironic that these countries are some of the least known to the rest of the world. They don't do well in Miss Universe pageants either. These countries keep choosing women who are average looking in their own countries to participate in the pageant for some reason (maybe money or politics?).
It's not an American board. And the poll is about multi-racial relationships, the accompanying story is specifically about the plight of African American women. So if you are talking about your preferences, feel free to use black, or African. If you want to discuss why American women of African descent can't find life partners, use African American. Or black. Whatever. :shrug:Quote:

I remember reading an article on the bolded part in the mid-90s. I didn't realize that it would come to a point in which African-American women would have a hard time finding a boyfriend. It sounds like a joke, but it's actually authentic since it's from The Economist.Quote:

so the point made by PJ is again very subjective and relative and onesided. because there is also a tendecy of bottomlifting, bigger lips, showing curves, tanning etc. but ofcourse in a mixed society one can only suspect that there is a very wide scala of desires. and as a superstar to reach that wide audience they will try to meet everyones demand.
well ill let it slide. this time. because ive been saying whites. but dont make it a habbit. seriously, its important to phrase correctly. :laugh4:Quote:

I would argue allot of black women spend trying to live up to white beauty standards because its been drilled into there heads since they were kids that is whats "pretty"
It's not as though the desire of racial characteristics is a one-way street, anyway. Go visit Europe and you'll realize just how black American culture really is.Quote:

perhaps in america it is so. i can imagine it was so for the generations of 1900-1980s. it is not something i have witnessed here in holland.Quote:

Europeans are for ever tanning themselves to be darker. Asians / Indians / Africans often apply materials to make their skin whiter. Europeans want small noses, Asians bigger. We curl our hair, African straighten theirs...
Women aren't happy with they way they look - however they look. A shock, I know...

ah but not in the good old days when europeon women had dignity and wanted to be even whiter! forever white yah!!! to match the seed their husbands squirted upon them which they were not allowed to enjoy...Quote:

oh oh so they can be glow in the dark and we can find them when they run away1!! good thinking.
And there's an option for you in the poll. Don't expect everyone to feel the same way, though.Quote:
