A more appropriate title to the article should have been "Black women are heavier but happier with their obese and unhealthy bodies than white women, finds U.S. study"
"A nationwide survey found that 66 per cent of overweight or obese black women had high self esteem compared to 41 per cent of average-sized or thin white women"
And everyone knows why that is - Black men have low beauty standards and have trained black women into thinking that obesity is both sexy and healthy.

So basically you're saying blacks need to adopt unhealthy , unrealistic, twiggy European beauty standards? No thanks. Anorexia and bulemia is just as bad if not worse than being obsese.

Idiot, just because responders say it's most important doesn't mean they are factually acting like it in practice. Many questions need to control for people choosing the most socially "correct" answer even if it's not how they feel. Don't berate blacks on "low beauty standards" one second and then say how shallow they are the next.

It didn't say anything about the article talking about anorexia. I'm saying that twiggy, anorexic looking bodies are what European beauty standards are. They are just as unhealthy. And the fact European culture is happy with twiggy unhealthy bodies makes everyone "happy" with an image that doesn't reflect good health. Trying to make a woman's health issue strictly a black issue. GTFO here with that BS.

Stop whining red herring. I'm just saying your point of unhealthy beauty standards can be just as easily noted in European women albeit for different reasons. Unhealthy beauty standards are everywhere so stop acting like it's a "black" issue. Again I never said white women's lack of healthy beauty standards is noted explicitly (although IIRC the article does note lesser women of European descent, whom are are thin/average sized are happy) I'm simply saying your point in an attempt to make blacks come across as inferior is moot.

Depends on what you mean by "health." in terms of mental health regarding body image I'd say the black women as they are at the very least happier. Though it's not that black beauty standards demand fat chicks, it's just willing to accept them. Beyonce isn't considered "ugly" in the black community and she is in fact thin. There's more leg room to be attractive which is what I think is great about black beauty standards. Meanwhile a white woman of normal weight will be less likely to like her appearance because of how rigid European beauty standards are by comparison.
in terms of physical health on the subject white women are probably more fit. But this could deal with any number of additional factors, including an inability to reach their unhealthy goals and their income also helping them to choose healthier foods, which I am not sure was controlled for, nor how well. Nevertheless, The article shows that white women are much more likely to be unhappy with their appearance be they thin or average.They are physically fitter, but mentally more distressed about their shape.

"probably" RFLOL!! You are so much in denial that it clouds your judgment!

No I am not. I assumed that they were which is why I said probably. Assuming it is true, there is balance because black women are less likely to be insecure about their bodies. The study also didn't to my knowledge control for income, hours worked and a variety of other things that would make black women fatter. So is this really the best you can do? Pretty weak.

More self-hate...
Beyonce is heavily white admixed (french, irish). She's mixed-race, not black.
The only models or stars the ''black community'' supposedly have infact are heavily white admixed like Beyonce, an admission the pure-blooded Negroid phenotype is despised by black people themselves.
No one wants nappy hair or a wide nose...

Beyonce being mixed has nothing to do with my comments or the validity of my point. The point is should I need to repeat it, is that she is thin but is not considered ugly. Black standards for weight are flexible and European standards are rigid. So much for trying to derail the point. I'm not ignorant to the tactic. Stay on topic or make a new one on the subject.
