Surprisingly, or rather not since i’m a skeptic, it’s “objectively’ that is the major bomb-thrower in his column. He essentially provided the evo pysch theoretical backbone to the results that chris coyne provided on race, messaging and gender in OkCupid’s dataset. Despite ‘matching’ on personality traits and views, black women were the least replied to and least messaged of all gender-race groupings. So now Satoshi Kanazawa is a racist for his assumptions and retroactive adaption-fitting and Christian Rudder is still darling of the progressive set for his honesty about white people’s racism. Seems the idiot ‘anti-racist’ axis of “outrage, action, flatulence,” is still in play.

Well, unfortunately as a black woman, I agree that most bw are not as attractive as other races, but there are ends of the spectrum where I’ve thought some black women were breathtakingly beautiful. On an average basis, yeah…black women need some serious work. Most could be more attractive than they are but it takes a lot of work and discipline that they don’t want to devote or they don’t know how to go about it. Few are doomed to be ugly regardless of what they did.
