Horne also points to a political angle, shaped by the Allies' victory in World War II. An aspiration of many in Asia toward whiteness is a reflection of the idea that the North Atlantic Powers were the quote winners unquote, and therefore they need to be imitated.

Its called natural and sexual selection. The fact is that a mixture of all the types of humans together produces the most desirable type. And this is what you see us all trending to - an intermediate type.
Light Brown skin with wavy to curly hair, plump lips and slightly oriental eyes.
Again back to one of my favorites:

Osirion, how do you manage to come up with your conclusions? Oh I know, because you are Osirion.

Afronut - How did you find out how "Good looking" I am? But Pleaseeee don't tell anyone else, I'm having a hard enough time keeping up. These Women are insatiable (especially the White ones - pity fuchs, what the hell, I'm a good person too you know) and I'm not getting any younger.

"Is the European look the ideal beauty?"
No! of course not. I mean of course Europeans are beautiful but the reason why Europeans are "idealized"so much in some parts of the world is because of the media....99 PERCENT of the time Its the MEDIA trust me.So no if your trying to imply that Europeans are the most wanted, most beautiful people in the world..it is simply untrue.. In my personal opinion I think Europeans Idealize African beauty. An theres alot of it...

I cant agree with all of this but one thing I do notice about some people is that they dont like extremes...for example when it come to skin color.. no one want to be to white..no one wants to be to dark...everybody wants to be somewhere in between.it quite silly.

Osirion, how do you manage to come up with your conclusions? Oh I know, because you are Osirion.
Actually this is standard evolutionary theories:
Stabilizing Selection In stabilizing selection, a narrow range of phenotypes, often those that are intermediate and usually more common, are favored over extreme variants.
Extremes tend to decrease from generation to generation.
Stabilizing selection is more common in stable habitats, where the environment is predictable.
-----------------------------------------
So in a stable environment (like the US) over time the extreme types will decrease (White and Black) and be replaced by an intermediate (mixed race).

you got too much time on your hands brother!
BTW - whats up with all these East vs West African "looks" threads lately? Seems like you and Yonis are leading this, Are you guys the entertainment since Dirky and Jimmy left?

Posted by Mike111 (Member # 9361) on :
^I wondered about that myself - I assume he means groe as in Negro.
Genius Somalis you know.

Could you describe yourself please? I might look you up in Chicago (?). You sound like a rather short man, well built, a part in your hair and dapper. Do you work in a prison as a guard or something?
Posted by xyyman (Member # 13597) on :
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Hey Mike, the tranny wants to look you up. Heh! Heh! heh!
The psychos on these boards!
Any interesting AE discoveries or genetic studies lately?

Not clear what yall are planning, but I saw myself as a man of parts and letters coming over to visit another man of parts and letters. We would get aquainted over coffee and have a learned conversation.
