Thread 216319240

I would argue that two facts about the world explain the anger we see.

1. People have a preference for light skin.

2. The preference for lighter skin can be compensated for with a kind of masculine charisma, which blacks have and Indians don’t.

Proposition 1: Humans Prefer Light Skin
When people judge someone as physically attractive, they are also more likely to assume that they possess other positive traits such as intelligence, kindness, competence, and trustworthiness. This is part of a broader cognitive bias known as the halo effect, first named by psychologist Edward Thorndike in 1920. To take one study of many, a recent paper found that applying beauty filters to a person’s face led observers to rate the same individual more positively across a wide range of characteristics.

>>216319259
Attractiveness is of course not equally distributed across races. Around the world, humans prefer light skin. It’s been often remarked that on Latin American soap operas, the actors overwhelmingly look European. In certain African countries, over half of women use skin-lightening creams, with the Ivory Coast and Ghana implementing bans on allegedly dangerous products. Similar numbers have been found in Northern India.

>>216319274
Leftists will often claim that the preference for light skin is a legacy of colonialism or something like that. It is true that people will follow the practices of high-status cultures and see their traits more positively. But there is strong evidence that this particular prejudice is hard-wired. In Fair Women, Dark Men, anthropologist Peter Frost gathers data and historical research showing that the preference for light skin, especially for women, existed in many cases long before European domination, being found centuries or even millennia ago in Egypt, India, and Polynesia. His book also provides the following chart of cross-cultural preferences.

>>216319294
As you can see, the preference is more common for women. Frost presents an evolutionary reason for this, showing that women are always fairer-skinned than men, with lightness being a sign of fertility. Of course, the preference for light skin doesn’t appear to be completely universal, given the handful of negative examples, but it does seem to be the direction in which human nature tilts.

As you can see from the chart below, Indians are very dark. The only people in the world comparable to them are sub-Saharan Africans and natives from the region of Australia and Papua New Guinea. But we don’t see many Australian Aborigines or New Guineans in the West, so Indians are the darkest people Westerners have contact with who are not black. This creates prejudice against them, and leads people who don’t actively value anti-racism as an ideal to have a tendency to judge their traits uncharitably.

Proposition 2: Indians Lack the Masculine Charisma That Can Compensate for Anti-Dark Bias
This leads to the question of why blacks aren’t as hated as Indians on the right. Obviously, anti-black racism has been virulent throughout American history, but in many ways society now discriminates in favor of them. Conservatives can chalk this up to white guilt or political correctness alone, but I think that part of the story is that, as blacks were able to integrate more into American society, they were seen to have many characteristics that people value.

Black men are typically associated with masculine traits like physical strength, toughness, athleticism, and hypersexuality. They are good at sports that Americans like, particularly basketball and football, and also soccer, the one most favored by Europeans. Blacks make up about 70% of the NBA, just over half of the NFL, and 43% of the English Premier League. According to Jon Entine’s Taboo, this is in part due to West Africans having a higher proportion of fast-twitch muscle fibers, which makes them excel at running and jumping, in addition to other physiological traits. He also mentions a higher level of testosterone, which is associated with being more outgoing, and having better success with the opposite sex.

>>216319374
Given that testosterone is more attractive in men than women, it is therefore unsurprising that among black-white marriages in the US, the combination of black man-white woman is more than twice as common as white man-black women pairings. This fact is really hard to reconcile with any story that stresses the legacy of slavery or historical discrimination. Black man-white woman has been the ultimate racial taboo throughout American history! Moreover, whites are of a higher socioeconomic status than blacks, and women tend to prefer men who earn more money. So both history and normal mating market dynamics would suggest that white man-black woman pairings should be much more common than the reverse.

You can probably come up with some new theory to fit all of this with a story about the legacies of the past, but it’s much easier to just assume blacks have higher testosterone levels and other traits that make them attractive to women, popular as leaders and entertainers, and good at sports, despite socioeconomic disadvantages. They have “riz” as the kids say. This is consistent with everyday experience, and why I suggest men picture themselves as a black guy if they want to get better at attracting the opposite sex. It’s the same force behind the “Magical Negro” trope in movies and TV shows.

>>216319400
Unfortunately, Indians don’t have such advantages. To take one indicator, they’re really bad at sports. In a list of Olympic medals won per capita across nations, India and Pakistan come in near the bottom. Partly this is due to historical poverty, since wealthier nations can devote more resources towards training elite athletes. Yet this can’t be the full explanation, because India and Pakistan are well behind nations like the Ivory Coast, Uganda, and Ghana. A series of studies from the UK show that adjusting for relevant factors, South Asian men have lower testosterone than white men, suggesting a genetic component to this disparity.

>>216319420
Indians have the worst of all worlds. They’re dark skinned, which is disfavored. In terms of personality, they’re more outgoing and have more masculine traits than East Asians, which lets them succeed at the highest levels of business and politics and get noticed as an alien elite. But they’re not as masculine as blacks, so they’re not good at charming people or playing basketball and football. This explains why they are hated – at least by conservatives, who are more likely to indulge in unquestioned forms of prejudice.

It has more to do with facial features, behaivor, and complete lack of self awareness than anything else and looking European has a lot more to it than just skin tone. The 'anti-dark bias' stems from the fact that darker colors obscure details and hide ugliness and the correlation with intelligence. The small minority of indians that are genuinely good looking encounter none of these problems in reality.

>>216319596
I don't think it has much to do with behavior but rather skin color and being physically weak. Indians are easy to hate because of the way they look and their unathletic, skinny, fat bodies. I would also add that they are the first and only minority group that white women openly hate and that is because of their appearance. White women have immense social capital in the West.

>Jeets lie a lot
>Jeets don't respect other cultures
>Jeets have recently flooded everywhere
Those are the reasons. Until you learn that and correct that the hatred will continue. Western society corrects behavior by treating you like shit for bad behavior.

indians just need a stereotype positive public figure, like Jackie Chan or Michael Jordan that the west knows and likes

>>216319691
Behaivor matters a lot but It doesn't matter what you think because you are in complete denial about facial structure, citing just about everything but. The people that attempt to distill racism down to nothing beyond skin color or present skin color as the most significant aspect are either horribly misinformed or again, unapproachably delusional.

>>216319792
Facial structure is still appearance and not behavior. Your skin color is the most easily noticeable thing about you. It's what people first see. I wouldn't say Asian men have good bone structure, but they still do better, mainly because of skin color. Indians have bad bone structure but so do many Asian ethnicities. Indians are about as dark as blacks.

She has a point. She doesn't deserve the racism claim. When I was on omegle, I used to skip 29 people out of 30 pp. It's not brutal truth. It's the design of the application.

>Facial structure is still appearance
You're moving the goalpost also I never implied that behavior is the same thing as appearance. All I said is that the combination of behaivor and face are more significant than everything you've listed. The core of your argument is that skin color is the most important aspect and I'm informing you that it's beneath facial structure, not that it's completely irrelevant. Color Is only the most noticeable thing from a distance, it's a different story up close.

If ur black just dont breed with a black woman, always choose a white woman and soon you'll look like him.
