Why do some people base beauty on race?

Idell Mulliniks: My friend does thatShe only thinks light-skinned black guys are cuteShe wants to marry one so her children don't end up darkI tell her why doesn't she not marry a black man at all

Rashad Marecki: yes.

Cornelius Thornborrow: Because it's easy and it doesn't require you to be open to new ideas or constantly challenge yourself. You have an opinion, get set in your ways, and you never have to believe anything different for the rest of your life. :-) Some get offensive and say these are folks with "small minds" (I've said something like that before :-)), but to be this way is really just lazy and stubborn. There will always be those with opinions that don't really make sense. Ya just try to overlook these flaws and get along with everyone as best you can....Show more

Ardelia Liptow: I don't think they do!!! I'd need more evidence of that before i could agree... Their are beautiful people in all races (and i'm racist) all sizes and shapes.. Do! n't go by what the magazines and T.v. tell ya, because real people don't look like that.

Mitsuko Manne: I agree. just about everything is based on individuality. Ugliness? I dont think it exists.

Cherlyn Tefera: Because they are blind to true beauty.

Tyree Allenbrand: People are ignorant, everybody is beautiful in there own way. If people could just accept the indivdual,life would be so much better.

Emile Okafor: it's the American way! **but luckily, we're getting over it...cause there are some gorgeous women of all shades out there!

Keven Woodington: Yep, stupid. Good word.

Demetrius Coaster: You're right...

Sammie Bocanegra: They are ignorant and self-centered. And they don't kno what beauty really is (mayb becuz they're too busy being racists)

Ricky Frazer: Individual perceptions of beauty are based on a number of things, with race sometimes being one of them. What one person finds physically attractive will vary from the n! ext person. It's almost the same as asking "why do some people! like blonds and others like redheads?"You like what you like, it's not wrong to have your own desires and definitions of beauty.It's called an "opinion"....Show more

Dalila Yoon: yes it is stupid darling!!because we are all the same. people who base beauty on race are simply racist. sometimes u look at 2 people from a very 2 different races and u can choose who is more beautiful because both have their own type of beauty. here, we are looking at the external beauty, and actually it has nothing to do to us unless we are beautiful from inside.Cheers,...Show more

Karl Samiec: Well. Uhh....Yeah. It IS about the individual.But. Say I don't like INDIVIDUALS (when it comes to immediate attraction, through beauty, NOT if I respect them or if I would go steady/marry them, we're just talking IMMEDIATE ATTRACTION...) who happen to have slanted eyes. I like girls with large, round, dough eyes. Most asian women are out. Its not racism. Hell, I don't like girls with big nose! s, and I have a huge nose. Its just preference. But some traits are seriously more probable based upon race. Sorry. If I could, and this is true, I would be attracted to everyone I saw. I really would. I just can't! Sorry!...Show more

Palmira Lochridge: i agree

Colby Millberg: Maybe they havent had the experience of being around someone wonderful that is of a different race...that is a nice way of saying they are ignorant I guess....

Derick Kinnard: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ! You like what you like ! I personally don't find other races as attractive,that's being honest not racist. Too much PC crap !

Raven Purl: I agree with you, but I never knew they did judge people according to race.Look at some of the black super models, look at some of the white super models. I believe nationality has nothing to do with it.

Bernie Cerra: i think every race is beautiful

Jude Kennelly: Who does?

Dorris Homola: Do they???

Scot Rot! ruck: Because such people are insecure bigots.

Oren Eskelsen: I k! now, saying someone is beautiful because they have blonde hair and blue eyes or booty and full lips isn't beauty alone. That's a superficial and adolescent way of percieving people. Image/Beauty shouldn't matter. Find someone you that you are happy with. It depends on who you meet.

Sammy Tabatt: I actually just asked a question about this. Its because they're ignorant.

Alexandria Popik: There is beauty in every race so I don't see how you can judge appearance on that basis.

Bibi Tyron: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Frankly race does not matter to me but bodacious tata's do the trick.

Tory Clapper: beauty is in the eye of the beholder
