Why are biracial women considered more beautiful?
Who is to say that mixed-race girls are the prettiest? What we call beautiful is subjective, it all depends on societal standards. For example, in some Western countries, white European facial aesthetics are considered the pinnacle of beauty. America presents white people as the most beautiful, which can undoubtedly influence other people's self-esteem and preferences.
A doll test was conducted where African-American children were shown two girls: a black girl and a white girl. Most of the children preferred the European girl to the African American girl. And this fact can't help but be disheartening.
The right proportions of facial features
Medical studies have been conducted to determine those very "ideal" proportions of the face and, omitting ethnicity, the more it is proportionate and the more balance it has, the more attractive a person's appearance is perceived to be.
As far as mixed race, biracial women (or multiracial) are concerned, we must first take into consideration that racial classifications are socially divided. What defines a person as belonging to one of the races depends on the society in which they grew up. For example, in the United States of America there is the one drop rule (a person of African descent automatically becomes black) and in Brazil there are a number of variations of race (e.g. Branco, Pardo, Preto, Amarelo). This leads to different racial classification schemes when it comes to who belongs to which race and who should be defined as mixed race.
Halle Berry vs Gabrielle Union
Halle Berry has been named the most attractive girl in the world. Her father is black and her mother is white. She is considered to be of mixed race. But calling her the most beautiful woman is objective or subjective? When you say that people of mixed race are more charming or more attractive, would that mean that they are actually more beautiful than people of the same race? Is Halle Berry's appearance really better than, for example, Gabrielle Union's appearance?
I don't think anyone can say with certainty which one is less or more attractive. It all depends on each person and their preferences. But in my opinion, they are both beautiful. The idea that mixed-race girls are prettier, in my opinion, is caused by an attempt to bring back outdated racist ideals of beauty. White people in the South believed that being of European descent not only made them more attractive, but also smarter.
If you accept this racist theory, then you believe that being of European descent makes African Americans more beautiful because they have the European gene in them and they are aesthetically more similar to white people. This racist concept has greatly influenced show business and the entertainment world in general. Many people believe that African-American actors with lighter skin get more roles in movies and TV, have more success in modeling and receive much more approval in general because they are genetically European and look like white people.
"What's it like to date a white guy if you're a black girl?" Are there differences between black guys and white guys?
South Africans are not just left with the issue of gender relations, but specifically race relations. Such issues are very common on the forums here and are discussed passionately and not always intelligently, as is the case on all forms.
"As a freshman in college, I dated a guy named Kyle who lived a few miles away from me. Kyle's stepfather and half of his siblings were either black or mixed. He grew up with them together in Florida. He moved to live with his biological white father while in college. One day we went to our last class together and then decided to go for a drive. After that we became really close. When we started dating, we sometimes got stares. Black guys, who usually ignored me since I was a nerdy, virgin bookworm, suddenly started flirting with me and right next to Kyle saying things like, "You need a real man. A black man. Come with me. He can't do what I can do." I'd look at them like they were idiots and walk away with Kyle."
"Every person is different, regardless of their race. I've dated mostly black men, but there have been a few white men as well. I'm a black woman. Every man was different. While black men and white men may have different manners and experiences that depend on race, they each had their own way of relating to me. My husband is white. I married him because he is very loving. He is kind to me every single day. It's just the way he is. It's not because he's white. In hindsight, the 2 biggest jerks I've ever dated were also white. It's not about race, it's about the man himself. "
"Prepare to be treated like a princess. Prepare for monogamy, kindness, loyalty and romance. The benefits of dating white men are limitless. Yes, some of them are crazy, so you need to check out any man you date. But the white community has produced many wonderful men who will make great husbands and fathers. So any smart business man will tell you: look at the numbers. If you go to a casino, with a few token exceptions, the establishment always wins. In this country, white men are equated with "casino house". Betting against white men is just a huge gamble. Statistically, they are the most likely to be winners."
But there are also people who find members of mixed race more attractive than members of the 'pure' race and therefore more beautiful than whites. In conclusion it must be said that there is no scientific proof that the mixed race is more beautiful. Standards of beauty vary and may be different in different cultures and countries.
