As an African-American female, I have mixed emotions about this statement. We live in a country where the prototype is a thin, usually Caucasian or fair-skinned woman with long, flowing hair, thin lips and a thin nose. Society propels this image into our minds though media, celebrities, etc. There are incongruences with this because thicker lips and a curves typically, associated with African-Amerian women are also considered desireable.
It is important for Af-Ams to encourage our children to know tha black is beautiful and that we are just as beautiful as the fairer complexions that we consistently see in the mainstream.
Of course, personal preference will ultimately decide who you are attracted to. Some men love darker women, others are not attracted to us. Also, there is the notion that black women are harder to control or are less submissive than their counterparts.
While sometimes this is true, but always depends on the individual. You can't judge someone by their family members or by other members of their race. We are all individuals I think this is a stereotype and depends on various factors such as the relationship, past experiences, etc.
Remember to treat each person as an inidividual and try and put yourself in someone else's shoes.

I think it's because of the media, not portraying Black women and Asian men as being desirable.

To me black women are beautiful and always will be. people r lways talking **** about black women. when will people open and wipe the matter outta of dem eye and see the true beauty of a black woman, whether she is large or small?? No other race can compare to a beautiful black woman. Black women are full of style and grace from her head to her toe.

OK, I will bite this one time. If you provide a link to the study report and a confirmation that the study was printed in a reputable journal other than the redneck bible.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What does race have to do with it?
