Ugly Man Calls Black Women Ugly in Order To Feel Slightly Better About Himself, Get Attention

Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa, a lecturer at the London School of Economics and prolific internet troll, made a post on the Psychology Today blog stating that Black women are less attractive than women of other races, and pseudo-scientifically speculating about the reasons for this "fact."  Not surprisingly, his blog post was swiftly removed by Psychology Today. 

 Sources report that he wrote:    
“Black women are on average much heavier than non-black  women…..However, this is not the reason black women are less physically attractive than non-black women… [it is because] they have existed much longer in human evolutionary history, Africans have more mutations in their genomes than other races”. (See source here).

"The only thing I can think of that might potentially explain the lower average  level of physical attractiveness among black women is testosterone...The race differences in the level of testosterone can therefore potentially explain why black women are less physically attractive than women of  other races, while ...black men are more physically attractive than men of other races."  (Read the complete article here).

<<sigh>>  It's clear that this guy is a complete a*hole who is trying desperately to offend people in order to get some attention.  Even posting about this feels a bit like paying attention to a kid who is throwing a tantrum.  I don't want to reinforce this kind of bullshit.  Nonetheless, racist and sexist crap like this should not go ignored.  I'm not sure why this guy thinks he is in a place to critique the physical appearance of others.  Look in the mirror lately, homie?  Or is this whole thing a ploy to raise money for that much-needed mole removal? 

This whole controversy reminded me of a set of composite photographs that were going around the internet a few months ago that purport to show the average face of women and men of many ethnicities. I don't think anyone could look at this and not see that the Black women are at least as beautiful as the women of other ethnic backgrounds.  In all honesty, when I saw these photos I did the opposite of Kanazawa and wondered why the African American women were the most beautiful.  My guess is that it has to do with a more diverse gene pool, which we all know is a good thing. 

So, let's recap.  Black is beautiful. Satoshi Kanazawa is a douchebag.  Case closed.
