The wording is irresponsible.

"Study claims black people who are mixed look better"

There is nothing wrong with that. That is exactly what the study claims. It says black people who look mixed, are mixed, or who say they are mixed are perceived as more attractive.

I think you are just bothered by the picture. You shouldn't be.

That study isn't lying, though. People do perceive mixed-raced to look better hence Tariq marrying Peanut.

You try too hard. Come off like a total weirdo fakkit

How about you point out what is wrong with the way the title was worded instead of posting smilies since you have a problem with it. Their title says exactly what the study is about.

Click bait at its highest level. Nothing gets clicks faster than race or celeb exposures.

It's not the title nor the study that's an issue. It's the image they used for the story that's problematic. It convey or suggest that interracial couples create beautiful kids. They could've of easily used a mixed women or man for the story but instead they chose an image of a black women and a white man with their mixed kids. Now if you understand colorism and how it has affect the Black race you can see how this propaganda is irresponsible. Also one more thing I would like to note mixing is not only exclusive to black and white.

Exactly. It ain't their fault that a lot of folks are color struck and prefer hybrids over their own kind. They are just reporting what the studies show.

Exxotical looking folks are perceived as more appealing than strait white or strait black. It's not fair but society has shown their preference.

 

[Easy-E]

It's not. Another we all ain't shyt fest.

This is why I hate the internet. It's always this BS going against us.

 

[Northern Son]

I'm not clicking that shyt. Does the study say people perceive/view mixed blacks as more attractive? That's obviously true. Lightskin is closer to the western beauty concept. Now if it says "we did a study and mixed people are more attractive, period" then yea that's fukked up.

It's the former. They have a sentence or two saying it proves the existence of colorism, but it's not a particularly strong criticism more like a report.
