I think Instagram Face has been heavily influenced by how attractive mixed race people are seen to be. Instagram face is characterized by the racial ambiguity of tan skin, light eyes, a small nose, and full lips. This look is common in women of multiple races and I think it’s become such a loved look because all races are able to find it attractive.
Great point. I believe they are definitely going for the look of heterogeneity
All mentioned are Caucasian traits.
@@lapislazulii141 tan skin and full lips are not Caucasian traits
@@lapislazulii141 I'm sorry, but what do you mean by "Caucasian traits"
@@aurigavega southern europeans have olive skin
I feel like the fact that being mixed race isn’t so common is what adds to the attractiveness. They benefit from their exoticness. We’re more likely to find interest in something that we’ve never seen before compared to some thing that we already have. If being mixed race was a commonality, these studies would look different.
Here in my country (Brazil) almost all the population has mixed origins, so you're totally right. At least I see as something pretty common and not special at all
Did you watch the video? Your point is directly refuted at 8:52. People tend to rate their own race as more attractive than others, which is the opposite effect of rating exoticness higher.
@@themccannman How does that disprove what I just said??? People rate their own races as more attractive because of the familiarity.
When it comes to mixed race people being seen as more attractive, despite people stating that they find their own race is more attractive, The benefit of exoticness still takes place because of the unfamiliarity of mixed race people.
Most latinoamericans (or latinos) are mixed race tho
Agreed. Brazilian models are very popular in the modelling world, but we also see a lot of South Sudanese, Slavic, and Horn African models. They're not necessarily mixed but their features are "exotic" to the west, which is more familiar with other phenotypes.
Can you do a video on american Indigenous people??? Bone structure in their community is almost unmatched haha
Which American Indigenous? Because America is a whole continent, and South and Center America had the strong presence of them, but both are different from the North.
@@lev1anus all of them! I want him to compare North American indigenous people to mesoamerican and to South American indigenous people. I feel liken Andean American people have thin lips and almond-shaped eyes North American indigenous people like Quanna ChasingHorse and Irene Bedard have fair light skin, fine straight hair, and wide cheekbones. and Oaxacan model Karen Vega has a diamond head shape with medium-toned skin and full plump lips
I like that all those native groups have full eye brows and dense lashes. Andean heritage here and I love that I don't need mascara or eye brow pencils, also were all less hairy
@@Maleetorres105 hi!!! Imaynallam☺☺ I am also Andean indigenous, and my lashes are super thick too!! A lot of girls come up to me and ask me if I have mascara on and when I say no they say that they really like my eyelashes😳💖💖🤝🏽🤝🏽 i have skinny brows but they are dense and I never need to fill them in🤩 it's nice to meet you ñañakuna☺🤝🏽
Speaking of amazing bone structure, check out Quannah Chasinghorse if you haven’t yet :) She’s an indigenous model who blew up for her gorgeous met gala look
I think some mixed-race people are genetic lottery winners, as in their physical traits are a combination of the 'best' (subjective) physical traits of two or more cultures which is what makes them so good looking
basically what i said in my earlier post. Its not a surprise mixed and spanish women are considered the most desired. Their is a reason halley berry was one of the most popular female actresses in hollowood for like 15 years.
SOME.
Yet BOTH races have been diluted and essentially WEAKENED. Im not even sure how you come to this logic
yes that's what the video said
Emphasis on some😂
as a Brazilian thank you for putting up that note saying you understand all of these Brazilian beauties are very "white-passing". However, I'd just like to note that none of the ones you showed in this video here in Brazil are considered mixed, except for aline. We have a very different view on ethnicity and race in which basically what you look like is what you are (clearly very rooted in racism and colorism where if you look white that's what you'll say you are because its "better"), so much so that we created a category for mixed people here called pardos, which means that if you're not white enough to be considered white or black enough to be considered black you're pardo. Also, it's very unlikely for Brazilians to know their ancestry even more so because there is not a clear line between the ethnicities that were mixed, thanks to years of this miscegenation process. So, it's always interesting for me to see what people in countries in North America and Europe see as mixed at first sight in comparison to us, especially when it comes to white people.
*let me just clarify a few things I wrote here because I might have written it in a way that seems to mix a few terminologies.
1) Race is a social construct based on phenotypes. In Brazil what I've noticed is that even for phenotypes we have different standards to what may be white or black or mixed specifically (because those are the most common ones here) when in comparison to other countries especially the ones in Europe and North America such as USA and Canada.
2) Ethnicity not only has to do with your DNA but also your culture and your history, and in Brazil that is also often harder to know because we are so mixed and a lot of the time have no idea about our true background.
A nossa definição de branco ou negro se refere à cor do indivíduo, não à etnia. Da mesma lógica vem o pardo, que é mais o reconhecimento de uma mistura de cores do que de etnias. Apesar disso, etnicamente falando, essas pessoas são mestiças em qualquer lugar do mundo.
Diferente do americano que adota uma visão deturpada do que é etnia*, onde você pode ser nativo por ter um tataravô indígena, aqui o senso comum se atém ao que é mais socialmente relevante e o correto no uso dos termos: sua cor de pele em si.
*Quando se fala em etnia, o uso de branco ou negro é uma generalização de pessoas fenotipicamente de pele escura ou clara, portanto o modo como o americano, e vc aparentemente (assumo isso pela sua problematização do conceito do pardo, que é correto, e consequente validação de um sistema distorcido norte-americano), é uma generalização e deturpação semântica grotesca do conceito de etnia, que até então só se mostrou útil para uma segregação populacional, vide o sucesso que é os EUA no assunto.
Você diz que a criação do termo pardo é uma tentativa de exclusão social e apagamento de origem baseada na cor, mas acha interessante o conceito de etnia estrangeiro que se baseia na ignorância de uma parte (muitas vezes significativas) da origem do indivíduo para classificá-lo como de determinado grupo. Inclusive esse conceito é utilizado principalmente para apagar a parte branca, e jogar a pessoa no balaio de negros, nativos etc. Quer coisa mais racista que implicar que alguém não é branco "de verdade" por ter um quadrisavô de outra etnia
How they are white passing if there genetically European ? Jfl
It’s not that they are mixed and don’t pass the Brazilian standard, most of them are not mixed, except Aline and Adriana. They are genetically European.
@@luisa7270 No they aren't. They have all spoken about their diverse background in several interviews but yes... they're predominant white. Nonetheless the main comment is confusing. The video is about the relationship between mixed genetics and beauty... what Brasil considers race or not has nothing to do with the video because that is social construct. Genetics are not.
@@winterishere440 Isabeli, Alessandra and Gisele have said anything about being mixed? Adriana has for sure, but the others? Where? I couldn’t find any trace of their interviews. On the contrary, some of them are even from very small closed communities where most people are descendants of immigrants. Gisele talks about how her school had German as an obligatory subject.
I dont think that mixed people are more attractive. Its just that when a mixed person is attractive we think that they are attractive BECAUSE they are mixed. Vs when we see someone attractive who is of homogenous race, we never attribute their attrractiveness to them being homogenous
Preach
This is just a odd take. Why would you attribute someone not mixed race’s attractiveness to being mixed in the first place and versa? You sound like you want to demean the idea their attractiveness has anything to do with genotype. It also contradicts your first take as it latter implies mixed race is synopsis with its attractiveness while claiming they are not, but failing to express why they are not.
I have a one biracial grandmother, but I am dark skinned and have West African features, I might as well be considered pure black. My friend is from South Carolina, where the people there are actually the "purest" African Americans, people from that region are called Gullah/Geechee and are African slaves that made their own community and are not mixed like other African Americans. They have very velvety dark skin. So my friend is REALLY not mixed.
My friend and I often get asked if we're mixed race, though. Why is that? We are both very dark skinned.
I dont want to sound conceited, but there is this notion that pretty=mixed. I will say my friend is strikingly gorgeous and as about as dark and unmixed as one can get. So if someone is pretty, they can't be just one race (and they especially can't be pure black 🙄).
@@NumeroUnoApolloTheFirst i dont think you understood what im trying to say
There is also a fundemental flaw with the research too: they put two average faces together to create another average but most people don't come out perfectly average.
I always thought it was because since you are combining genetics from two different races, there would be less chances to interbreed or share DNA therefore ensuring that the offspring has a stronger set of DNA and a more unique combination of features.
It’s much more complex than that. Epigenetics and the health of both parents throughout their lifetimes matter for producing attractive children. Let’s not get into also how mixing certain genetics aren’t ideal I’m not saying mixing white and black is good or bad but each have their pros and cons.
@@jeffbro1021 maybe you missed his point. Getting with someone who isn’t of your race or whose mixed eliminates inbreeding…less chance of that being your cousin or familial bloodline. I can’t believe you just went on to say something so fxcking ignorant like “I’m not saying mixing is good or bad both have it’s pros and cons”
Uhhh no. People who are different colors are still human with different dna as opposed to incest-ual intercourse 🧐
Isn’t that what he pretty much said when talking about genetic diseases at 4:33?
@@brittneyharmon6647 like i said its more complex than that but if you were offended that's on you. nature is a good stepping point. if it wasn't for transportation humans from the americas would have never met anyone from europe,asia,africa etc... not optimal imo but it's my opinion deal with it. I've researched this long enough and anecdotally i notice more often than not the kids always come out worse off. thats all i will say. but the few that you see that are mixed are a result of good genes from both mother and father and good health markers throughout their lives. hence why its important to be aware of epigenetics and how they influence the child from personality to optimal facial development and features and lastly yes mixing will eventually lead to a more robust more intelligent human but at the expense of many others. slow and gradual throughout the generations. unfortunate but its reality. ideally one should have kids around 18 thru mid 20's max for women and for men they can actually keep on having kids well into their 40s IF and i mean IF hes in optimal health and good genes. lol at the last part literal facepalm. shows you dont know much. like wtf hahah keep on researching i dont know if u misunderstood me but i didnt say have kids with ones family memebers lol i meant sticking to your own race...
@@brittneyharmon6647 black folks marrying black folks isnt inbreeding. Before civilization people tried marrying their own cousins and family. They were horrible. In bible and various culture we get the sin of marrying within own family. Black people are distant and have their own distinct cultures and genes?! that allow for a healthy marriage and future generations. Are you saying black folks shouldnt marry within ttheir own community. How can you imply that people who marry within their own ethnic boundaries are inferior or less optimal. If they were japanese korean and isolated popularions would have died long time ago.
Maybe their “exotic” features eliminate our inherent biases in how we judge attractiveness.
Like if you’re biased against Asian people and you don’t see them as beautiful, you might not be as biased against someone like Keanu Reeves or Cassie, because their Asian features are not as obvious* because they are mixed… in this case the Asian feature becomes a positive, that exoticness…
I personally think your theory is correct from my perspective. I tend to not be very attracted to Asian men (which is kinda weird because I’m Asian, lol) but a guy who is half Asian and half another race tends to be more attractive to me than a person of a single race.
@@Paraclef It is because she is mostly east African
That's a good point
@@Paraclef She does not look Asian
Guess who else is half asian? The guy that played Zack morris from save by the bell
On the Brazilian models attractiveness l, a lot has to do with the exotic label itself. Many of these models you showed are 100% European (Gisele Bundchen, Isabeli Fontana, Alessandra Ambrosio etc.). They're just more special because they're Brazilian, which is a very fetishistic view that I, as a Brazilian woman, can't avoid to distaste and roll my eyes at.
Concordo
So, you're saying everyone on Europe looks the same? All these white brazillian models are mixed, german, italian, greek, arabic, indian, japanese. Its not because they look *mostly* white that they are white. Also the way brazillians view white people is different from what the rest of the world sees white people. In Brazil is about what you look, not your DNA, on other countries your fenotype and DNA matter the most
@@hakohito Sorry, what? In which moment did I say everyone in Europe looks the same? I said these models are 100% European, and that's true. Obviously there are many different types of Europeans, but when people refer to mixed race, they usually don't refer to mixing between whites of different origins, especially in Brazil's case. My point was that these models are considered exotic and mixed just because they're Brazilian, which is a prejudiced and quite discusting view.
Facts.
For what is worth, Giselle does have a wider nose, plump lips, tan skin and foxy eyes. She may not be mixed but she looks like it
Colorism is still a major problem within the Black, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Brazilian, and Cuban communities.
Don't forget south Asia 😬
Nah fax the carribean and the Latin countries wit the genetic diversity got almost everything
I really enjoyed this video, thank you for making it. Makes me feel a little giddy as a mixed person who recently married someone of a completely different ethnic background then me.
Although I find it really strange that I was perceived as ugly growing up in a very white area being black/white but as I grew into adulthood my perceived attractiveness increased grew immensely among my peers. It makes me feel very uncomfortable when I get attention from someone who looks like they would have picked on me in adolescence.
Maybe you got a glow up
Tbh u probably just glew up. Especially bcuz from what i can tell, lightskins have always been fetishized, at least in the black community. I know i had a similar experience but it was definitely just the glow up i got when i fully matured and was able to fully style myself.
And yes i am also mixed (black/Portuguese).
But on a side note: ITS SUCH A BIZARRE FEELING GOING FROM AN UNTOUCHABLE TO DESIRABLE!! Like holy shit. Im still not used to it
A similar thing occurred to me when I transitioned, I'm mexican (which is intrinsically mixed race) but somehow as a girl my face and ethnic features didn't translate well. But when I started passing as male, suddenly I was attractive.
I dealt with serious racism having attended a de facto segregated school district, where I wasn't read as white at all.
But something changed between then and now so now I'm read as white and exotic-looking. It's bizarre and I don't like it
@@Mars30999 yes and no, for the glow up. I was cute looking back at pictures of me from high school. I’m pretty sure it’s was just growing up in a majority white town.
I was also thick back then and now I’m slim, kinda weird to think about since being thick is in now 🤔😂
@@user-gu5xx5le2j ok ok, I'll take ur word.
Mixed race has a chance of inheriting "the best of both worlds" looks. You get your Mothers best features, your Fathers best features and they work together. It doesn't always work out like that but when it does... Fireworks. I know people like this and their face changes depending what angle you look at them from. Even a slight angle, boom, face changes. It's like the eye doctor "OK is this better or is this better?" I don't know they are both pretty good.
Zenday’s parents are both ugly and it usually goes that way
@@prettypuffprincess I don’t think either of my parents are particularly attractive (white and black) but when I look at my sister she is beautiful. I look exactly like my dad so it’s hard to say that I’m as pretty but she looks like the best of both of them.
Its not always the case. It depends on the health of both parents and inherited features. Mixed or not. But there is definitely the appeal that is stressed. As a mixed person i feel that homogenous people have more appeal and are more mysterious and charming. They look so different.
i just posted a similar comment. lol
A chance, not a given. There's no being in the universe that decides that
The whole mix-y thing can be a bit contentious lol.
Anecdote: I tend to get more looks from white people; skin that's is very dark is becoming more rare, as people keep mixing; I heard someone say that "everyone's kids these days are a golden beige color." Even I double take when I see someone with very dark skin (even though I am dark skinned myself) and especially when they are beautiful, it is very striking, because you just don't see dark skin as often.
Not to sound conceited, but I was talking with two people once, and one asked if I was mixed. The other person noticed my weird expression and spoke for her friend and said, she's just trying to say that you're pretty. Why do I have to be mixed to be pretty? I don't even look mixed.
I had an old white guy who was an artist and photographer look at me and tell me that people with lighter hair or lighter skin are not necessarily more attractive in their facial features, but the human eye is just drawn to light.
I had someone white say to my face that mixed people look better than everyone else. Kind of a wack thing to say lol. This is an notion especially held among black people (and South Asian people, any race where the skin is darker)...it's a very odd, and ugly thing. If you know, you know. I've seen unattractive in every race, including among mixed people (for example, Shan Boody is not particularly pretty to me, she just has green eyes and light skin) and I've seen beauty in every race, including mixed people.
Great point, I agree with you
I agree, but it’s definitely not just true for black and south Asian people. I’ve been told the same by many east and south East Asian people who are not any darker than white people
Exactly, Shan Boody! Thank you, I thought I was the only one
@@himynameiscandle7002 Kali Uchis, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lawrence....not being a hater, but all of these women are plain/average at best to me..the last two women don't have (obvious) mixed heritage, but have light colored eyes--they're still average to me.
in general black people want to be more caramel complexed and white people want to be more tan, mixed people typically have that in between skin color that most demographics want, and then having that skin tone with a light contrasting eye like blue hazel or green is seen as extremely attractive because its rare.
I’m from Central Asia, we are mixed with Asian, and darker Caucasians. But because we don’t inherent any ideal white features like pale eyes we are not seen as particularly exotic or attractive in the west, despite being one of the most mixed people in the world.
Aren't central Asia is asian mix with middle eastern? What is "darker Caucasian"?
@@RottenfruitQueen pre European invasion there used to be a population of caucasians who had tan skinned in Central Asia. They weren’t Middle Eastern or European.
Colorism and featurism is definitely a factor as well. I think people tend to forget that not all mixed people look exactly like your stereotypical tan skin and green eyed mixed child.
My husband is from Central Asia, most Americans think he looks Greek or Italian. When you say darker caucasians do you mean like Iranian ?
I think trying to define what certain races are can get pretty muddled in that whole region from eastern Europe, to Western Asia and northern Africa. People who like to put people in race boxes get confused as to what race people there are and it seems so many people have different answers, nobody says white for some reason thought when in my eyes lots of people there have lots of white features too but anyway. The whole area is so mixed that people forget that it's mixed hey?
No, the attractive ones are just disproportionally represented in modeling.
I like how this creator has data to back what they’re saying, meanwhile yours is just your opinion.
@@michellekholmatov9562 Yes, because everyone knows a preponderance of unattractive people are represented in modeling, more so than attractive models 🙄
He mentioned that in the video.
I feel like more models or let’s say topmodels now are of mixed than of one ethnicity
@@patma283 They're still white but they've been getting work done to look more mixed.
You should do a celebrity face analysis on anya taylor-joy! Very unconventionally attractive
Yup!!!
Idk what the fuss is about with her appearence. IN MY OPINION, she's only seen as attractive because the movies sell her this way.
@@majuvieira4834 her movies are mostly very abstract and usually have her in ragged situations that would make her objectively undesirable. Yet she’s slim, thin, pale, tall and have these very wide, doe eyes. She almost looks like a painting. I’ve recognized these are characteristics that people in the West love; a beauty that is so uncommon (unattainable, I might say) but fits perfectly into the beauty standards.
@@majuvieira4834I found her attractive before having seen her in a movie. 😊
I’m Hispanic, Irish, and Native American. People have told me my whole life I’m exotic and try to guess what my ethnicity is. This was interesting for me.
Lmao im exactly that too but indigenous South American. People don't recognize me or my dads features because in the US everyone is used to seeing Mexican features. I look pretty white but subtle differences like nose hump and "dark" looking eyes. I could probably pass for middle eastern too. What about you?
i'm half swedish half african and ppl try to guess my race all the time as well
@@Maleetorres105 yes! People guess East Indian, Greek, or Brazilian all the time!! 😂🤦🏻♀️
Hispanic literally just means you are from a spanish speaking country…. It’s not an ethnicity
@@Cami-ls1ki well it’s from my fathers side and I never knew him or anyone in his family. I’m not sure where he’s from exactly so I just say Hispanic. My mom says Mexican “probably” but she’s a little meh lol.
So basically what's "preferred" is mayo with a shot of Sriracha? Most of the mixed race celebrities shown and celebrated for their beauty are white or almost white passing. They have a certain, exotic "je ne sais quoi" that makes them interesting to viewers steeped in Euro-centric beauty standards but they don't stray too far into non-whiteness to become "Other". What I find concerning as well is that mixed celebrities that tend to favor the non-White parent are pushed forward in media as representatives of their racial group, see: Henry Golding as everyone's favourite "Asian leading man" or the countless number of mixed race Black actresses that are cast in monoracial Black roles. Despite what it might look like on the surface, this new beauty standard is just the same old White supremacy wrapped up in slightly tanner paper.
That's exactly what is happening
Period
How tf is people finding predominantly white mixed race people in any way comparable to white supremacy? Does this not make sense given that the majority of the western world is “white”, it makes sense that the majority of them would find “whiter” people more attractive. The same way people in Africa find “blacker” people more attractive. How is this a problem?
I don’t think this is right at all. Most mixed people look black even in Hollywood standards. Just more washed. They push people like zendaya because everyone can relate somewhat, Spanish/black/white
@@brittneyharmon6647 That’s what mixed means though. Like saying most mixed people look white, just darker. Also Spanish people are white… Spain is in Europe and the people from there are very much so white the way people I Ghana are very much so black. I assume you meant Mexican where most Mexicans have a mix of European and indigenous Mexican ancestry
Could you make a video of who should go bald and who should not? I think balding is a very interesting topic. You would analyze multiple faces and skull and facial features and then say whether or not they might end up going bald.
I’ve made this suggestion in the past, I hope he sees your comment bc I’d find this very interesting
@@Michael-ff5hu yes especially SKULL shapes, not face shapes would be very interesting to me. Which bones from the skull should be pronounced most to go bald.
In a recent video he said no one should willingly go bald and that it looks good on no one
Let’s get this clear: absolutely no one should be bald! Hair is an extension of ones health(indicator). So somethings wrong. Also try everything to maintain ones hair for as long as possible.
@@jeffbro1021 I mean he should make a video on skull SHAPES in first line. If you go bald with a strong neurocranium, that is another story.
9:55 Naomi Campbell is absolutely the TOP of all the models. She is a power of the Nature, she is so unique that hurts. The way she walks is absolutely hypnotizing.
But she's definitely not chinese-jamaican as she claims. She says her father is Chinese-jamaican but has never seen or met the guy. Maybe that's what her mom told her but her features certainly don't suggest that.
she walks like a clown

@@701delbronx8 for sure. I was speaking to this pashtun kid the other day. He had the combination of green eyes and tan skin. They are definitely very good looking people.
Possibly because we central Asians usually don’t have desirable White features like thin nose or green eyes. Though the ones who do are often given preferential treatment due to their proximity to whiteness. Smh
@@xahedi yeh true. When people usually talk about mix race people being more attractive they usually are thinking about mix with white. Like half white half asian person is considered way better looking than half black half asian
@@kharbetterthanyou8552 I would say that that is simply because Asian people view white people as superior and worship anyone that looks anything close to white, it doesn’t really have anything to do with other features being ugly to be honest because I live in the uk and the majority of white people are average/plain looking and there is nothing wrong with that, I think Asians just like the idea of someone being white regardless of how average or plain looking they can be.
This reminds me of how one of my male friends told me his experience spending high school in Japan, and he was treated like a mini celebrity and everything simply because he is white regardless of the fact that he is average looking.
@Mill Mount Nah cause this video is saying on average mix race people are better looking. I live in the west and from what i have heard from my friends they dont really find the average central asian features as good looking for the most part. Also, one third of Kazakhstan's population is ethnic Russians. And I have met many Tajik afghan and Pashtun afghan who look white. So they actually are competing with white features even in their native lands.
First of all, what is race exactly? And what comes up into peoples mind when they picture someone with mixed race? I dont think mixed race as a beauty standard really means being biracial or triracial, instead it means an ideal of beauty based on white race structure (fine nose, light skin…) with others ethnicties features as a plus
Obs: I see people in comments spelling countries and regions as their race and gotta say this is hilarious 😂😂
This is the only comment that really makes sense, it's concerning to see how people are so obsesses with "race" which is so bad since such a think doesn't even exist in this era.... Weird!
This video was great(as usual)! I hoped you'd cover this very subject. Can you PLEASE do a video on "quenophelic attractiveness"? I think that's how you spell it lol?
What's that? I tried googling that word, to no avail...
Growing up in North America it does not matter how mixed u r but as long as u have European features u were treated way better than the rest of us especially in my family we just don’t get benefits if we are not mixed without European 💀
Preach. I'm technically mixed, but don't have european features 😩
I think it depends. Most African Americans are multiracial, but they aren't classed as so. So its also very interpretative.
Thank you for saying African American. People tend to lump biracial or multiracial people with Black. Like that doesn’t even make sense to us actual Black people in WEST AFRICA who aren’t mixed and with no desire to be, but how you guys govern your tribe is your business (African American people that is).
Your correct . For sure
AfroAmericans are 80 percent west afro on average. They are not truly mix although they wish they were
We are not mixed
@@ralphaelc1793 Yes
It's about being perceived as mixed rather than actually being. Mestizos the race that most Mexicans are, are a mix of European and Native American, yet they're not considered to be "More attractive"
Exactly! Also not athletic, tall, or most intelligent. That's why I never believed this mix race is better mumbo jumbo. It's why Nuri Martinez (a mestiza) spoke disparaging remarks of Oaxacans (indigenous mexicans). And just FYI Adriana Lima, who took a dna test, is more european (65%) than the average Mexican (40-ish%)
Its bc media portray mexicans as not attractive
True. Although Mestizo isn't a race, it's a mix of two races. Calling it by itself as some new race would not technically be correct wording.
I'm mixed and my face is NOT symmetrical. It actually really sucks because being mixed, people expect you to be super attractive and when you aren't, you're seen as ugly. Whereas in other races if you are average or just ok, you arent necessarily ugly. But the expectation of being beautiful to being mixed is a problem. Now I kind of know what it feels like to be a black man and not have a HUGE penis. Just because it isnt HUGE, doesnt mean its SMALL. But because he's a black man, its "small". Then people feel good about themselves because they can say they're more attractive than a mixed person
facial symmetry can be heavily influenced by your habits such as overall body posture, tongue posture, chewing & eating habits etc.
I am joining you here as a person which is mixed but sadly not pretty so people are surprised to find out I am mixed so it's easiest for me to just say I am Asian. Sadness of being below expectation 😭
The black man analogy is… odd to say lol but not wrong
@@maxalaintwo3578 it's a woman that posted this.Of course, they're going to mention a Black man's penis.😂😂
This makes me so much more confident because being mixed isn't easy having that no one really excepts you and that you can't really say that you are the race because your so mixed that people say that you aren't when you are and understanding that I'm not the only one out there makes me feel better about myself
FRRR
I was just reading the book Dataclysm by Christian Rudder and WOW! In the chapter when he speaks about Interracial dating, and then he gives the numbers... Those results, and the difference SAYING you're mixed (with white) makes a huge difference. I'm not talking about a 5% or 10% difference in your perceived attractiveness we're talking about some numbers being as high as 47% higher!
To me, that's just crazy! These are all people with the same photos, it's just that in one profile it says they're, for example, Asian. In the other profile, they say that they're Asian mixed with white. And these results proved consistant across all races. . . Anyway Qoves Studios I just wanted to say the data supports this video.
Though, I will add My personal hypothesis is that it is a mixture of partly thinking that a biracial child will inherit the best features of both races but, also the thinking that there is a higher social status that comes with being half Caucasian.
2:43 - My Goddess!
This video is highly accurate as to mixed race people being perceived to be highly attractive. I am fully black(light skin) and growing up even being on the lighter side, mixed kids were treated better. As I transitioned into high school it was no different especially as to how many black people tend to put mixed race people on a pedestal. I was never asked on dates compared to my mixed race peers and never was a first choice in any part of my life growing up. I was severally bullied because of my big lips and called ugly (even being the light skin black girl) due to me having more bold African features. I have to be honest and say being mixed race is a currency that can benefit you beyond your belief in how much money you can make to, who you marry and what future doors may open for you.
I'm sorry this happened to you dear, but you are 100% correct. It's the reason I married a European. It's just a fact of life and selective mating.
Humans like familiarity with just slight exciting differences, especially in mating probably because this tendency ensures both tribal unity and slight genetic diversity. That’s why mixed race people appear so attractive to so many
I was once told by a Caucasian man whom I was dating that I (Inuit/European) was exotic, yet familiar. I have the facial features of an Inuit, but my hair and eye coloring is more Caucasian. I thought what he said made a lot of sense and was very interesting. I love your videos, they really explain a lot and I feel a little smarter every time I watch one! 😄❄️
I’d be really curious to see studies done on this, but in regions where mixed race people are the majority population, like in South America or MENA where most people are mixed. I’m from the Middle East and I’ve noticed that, because having mixed ancestry is very common, many people tend to favour pure European genes (especially blonde hair and blue eyes) or pure East Asian genes. Some of my South American friends say that it’s the same in their countries, most because being mixed-race is so common that you’re “exotic” if you’re not mixed. I think it’d just be really interesting to see the difference.
Reading the comments, it seems people hate the idea that maybe, just maybe genetics will contribute to your attractiveness or other traits. Not everything is a social construct and not all social constructs are purely random.
THANK YOU.
Eugenics is a reality (nature always tends towards it). It's just an uncomfortable one.
Finallyyyy. Thank you so much.
Ok I have so many thoughts on this and I feel you could probably make a part 2 honestly! But I believe there is likely a combination of factors at play here, most of which you have discussed but the studies for this specific topic do not really address. So we know averageness is correlated with attractiveness. Well it stands to reason that a mixed race face is just more likely to be more average. Let’s take the most common mix (the two who happen to be most physically different in my opinion as well), European and African descent. You mix the one person- fair skin, straight blonde hair, light eyes, very sharp features- and another person- dark skin, coily black hair, darkest brown eyes, very full features. If the two of them share a child, we are likely to see a person with tan skin, looser curls, lighter brown or hazel eyes, and more average features (nose protrudes some but not much, somewhat rounded; lips are medium fullness). Now each of the people I described could all be gorgeous, both parents and the offspring rated perfect 10s by all. But the offspring has more going for them when it comes to attractiveness- 1) EXOTICISM, to catch our attention 2) FAMILIARITY, which will draw in more types of people and 3) AVERAGENESS, which adds to objective beauty. Then there’s the biological science behind the heterozygosity and symmetry. Not to mention some negative factors like fetishization, racism (and the other prejudices that fall under it- colorism, classism, etc), and the effect our society/social media has.
Idk ethiopians for example (the semiticspeakers) are genetically speaking perfectly half african and half eurasian (anatolina and caucasianhunter gatherers) there eurasian side was most probably from either southern europe or somewhere close to southern europe ,but they don't the features u just mentioned, they turned out to be more ideal (arguably) in my opinion at least they have chiseled features (straight nose,perfect jaw line and small lips) plus other features that helped them survive in the horn of africa like buffed lung capacity,resistance to dry conditions,healthy weight,strong limbs and darker skin(lighter than most afticans tho)same goes for some north africans,eritreans etc so it can go either way it really just depends on which ethnicities are mixing because there is a lot of genetic diversity in both africa and europe
If this theory is correct and mixed people are indeed more attractive, then mexican mestizos would be deemed more desirable than whites in america. kazakhs would be deemed more attractive than slavic russians in russia and subcontinental indians would be deemed more attractive than whites in australia. but this is simply not the case. i think it is more complex than that.
But often times they are. Also those groups you mentions are pretty mixed, e.g slaves and in some cases white americans.
It's because being mixed isn't enough to actually be beautiful. Mixed people aren't more beautiful. What Qloves completely glossed over in his presentation was that one needs to be mixed with WHITE in order to be deemed as attractive. Black and Asian. Black and Mexican, east Asian and Mexican mixes are on no one's radar. Racism had made it so that anyone looking close to European is more attractive. Being mixed in and of itself is not enough. Not my opinion but it's how this world works
@@ImNotImpressed01 i agree because most the world subscribes to or are influenced by western beauty standards. the closer to white you are the more attractive you are seen. And you make a good point about certain mixes being seen as more attractive than others. In thailand a mixed black and thai person is going to be seen as less attractive than the average thai. on the other hand a mixed white/thai is going to be seen as more attractive. the same dynamic can be seen throughout asia. If it is white it is right. I hate it but what can you do?
@@ImNotImpressed01 Not even that, being mixed just doesn't automatically mean you're beautiful. There is confirmation bias here, we see beautiful mixed race celebrities and we attribute that beauty to their mixed heritage, despite not doing the same thing to pure bred beautiful people. Beautiful people are just beautiful, regardless of race.
@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753 well in America white and black is seen as more attractive than white and Mexican/white and Thai ….because the population is majority white and black so even in a business aspect it would adhere to more. Not to mention a person whose white and black sometimes looks Hispanic … so they can even pull in another sub group. For example, zendaya
I have a black friend she is very pretty and has 2 black parents but everyone thinks that she is mixed no matter how much she corrects people they always have this attitude towards her like they know more about her genes than herself
Her parents can be of mixed heritage and not know it.
But she is mixed, African Americans are 20% Caucasian
@@fightfannerd2078 she isn't african american tho
and not all african americans are 20% caucasian that's just an average rough estimate
when you do averages with extreme values it tends to skew the results
The vast majority of blacks in the US are mixed with white at some point. The ones who aren't are typically African immigrants. So no, funny enough it's more than possible for other people to see things in your genes that you don't. If you aren't trained in knowing what to look for then she wouldn't actually have any idea. Does she have a thin nose? If the answer is yes then the chances of her NOT having white in her is slim to none.
Is your friend light-skinned? Makes sense why people would think that.
Oh this is genuinely fascinating, I love stuff like this
I don't think so. I think we are just in a world where mixed race is just much more common. There may be a social component where mixed race people are selected more for modeling because they look a bit like all races, which can be more commercially viable.
This seems more solid point concerning wider market spectrum to cover fashion influence in more regions ........ models/influencer are better considered to be interracial to reach more market and areas in world and basically serve idea of relatibility to more people of different background....this is major marketable concept of companies/agency rather than about beauty
this is actually a good point. being mixed means their features are more relatable to more audiences
Humans love novelty. Mixed race people that show some familiarity to their own race may be exceptionally exciting to people.
I’m First Nations Canadian, mixed with Swiss so I’m very tall and tanned but lighter hair and contrasting features. People can never tell my ethnicity, but also think I’m not suppose to be as dark skinned as I am. Mass society tries to say /tell me anyone not ‘black’ or ‘Asian’ is Caucasian which couldn’t be further from the truth. Modeling agents always wanted to make my skin lighter to fit with my features.
This theory is debunked by the fact that Icelanders are a very genetically homogeneous population yet produce some of the most attractive people in the world.
Cos their faces are angular but also soft

Good question. As an American, I feel that there will be more biracial and multiracial people in the U.S. in the near future. Hence beauty standards will change too. Personally, I believe diversity and inclusivity are important in society. It shows acceptance or at least tolerance to those who have a different background than you.
You right
What if you are given less preferencial treatment because you are not mixed.then, is that suppose to show progressiveness?
@@purplelove3666 You’re missing my point.🙄 So I’m not going to argue with a random person on the Internet.
It goes both way. Humans respecting humans and their choices.
It's already changed among the young generation, light skin black/white people are considered by far the most attractive usually
The reason why many ppl think mixed race ppl are more "attractive" has to do more with their skin complexion rather than their facial features... If you're mixed lightskin and also have more "euro-centric" features then you are considered even more attractive
Complete bs. Look at blasian people. Mixed race isnt just white and something else.🤡
I have to agree with this comment completely, if a dark skin person lightens their skin they’re attractiveness with increase as with a white person getting a tan
I think people have been trying to appear mixed race for a long time. Yet, as a mixed race person I’ve always been made to feel wrong or an unrelatable rarity. I don’t think I’m more attractive because I’m mixed, I think we are just fetishised.
There is a model in Mexico who is half Japanese and half Mexican male model named Kenta Sakurai.
He is viewed very attractive in Asia and here in Mexico because 1) he is very tall and has masculine sharp features which in Mexico is considered attractive 2) his skintone is considered the " perfect tan" ( allures to the colorism in Mexico) 3) he has a beard that connects. In Asia , he mostly models in Hong Kong sometimes Japan or Thailand. In China or South Korea, its rare that he gets booked.
But I think he is even more attractive because he interacts with his fans on Instagram! He has many times replied to me 😊
Thank you for sharing about this beautiful man. He actually can look like a good looking model here in Philippines because we also praise a lot of mixed race people, but then again my country is intrinsically mixed.
Omg he’s gorgeous 😍

I feel like as a mixed race girl, my features didn't really... 'Come into their own' until I hit about 21. When I was a teen, boys paid no attention to me and would pick my skinny white friends over me every time. But then I still had a chubby baby face and lots of skin problems.
Then, the baby weight suddenly disappeared as I hit 20ish, and honestly it was a shock because people were all over me. In fact, I think as I age, I look better. The volume in my face has lessened a little and it's allowing my mixture of ethnic features shine. I'm a bit overweight so I don't know my true potential yet haha. My brother is very lean though, and he too went through the glow up process. He's probably now considered EXTREMELY attractive (very awkward for me as his sister watching girls and even guys lose their shit around him lol).

I had a teacher that pointed out that African Americans tend to be exceptionally athletic more so than their African counterparts because during slavery, African Americans were essentially bred to be athletic so that they could do hard labor. Any of them that were weak were unable to handle the stress of the labor or abuse and they died.

Yeah that makes sense
Sounds like bullshit.
@@michikomalandro7665 the obesity rate in America is a separate issue from genetic predisposition because obesity is something diet and exercise can fix, genetics is not. So like, if Africans and African Americans had the same diet and lifestyle, African Americans would still be more likely to grow bigger muscles.. Also, im not trying to bash African athletes, I'm just giving a reason for what's already been studied and proven.
@@michikomalandro7665 I agree with you. Africans do usually have better diets and lifestyle but that has nothing to do with genetics. Im saying that the African American body is the offspring of only those physically strong enough to endure the physical trauma of slavery. So Genetically, (assuming a healthy lifestyle or diet) AA's tend to be physically stronger. This has already been proven, it's in the video too.
I think the reason why people often find mixed race people attractive is because of the rarity, especially if they come from a homogenous country where everyone looks very similar. I'm from Nigeria (a very homogenous country) and a friend of mine is mixed race (Japanese and Nigerian) she was always considered the prettiest girl and she easily got attention because of how different she looked from the rest of us. My current best friend (although isn't mixed) looks blasian (fair skin and East Asian eyes) idk what to call it because i don't want to offend anyone but you get what I mean. She's always been perceived as mixed and gains attention from it. I always found it fascinating though.
I would like to mention that if beauty is averageness, being mixed may be seen as more attractive in more diverse countries or in countries with diverse media. For example, the average American face would have ethnically ambiguous features like the classic Instagram face, while a country that is predominantly Asian with lots of influence of white Hollywood would probably prefer an Asian-European face over the Instagram face simply because there aren't many black/latinx people to contribute to the average.
makes sense
Great topic, i always thought this was obvious
I believe the answer is primarily yes. Pale white and very dark are fading in numbers as more people, especially darker men, choose lighter more often, or partners of a different racial group. It's not just a matter of lighter complexions but a combination of preferential features also.
They still have children with dark women. I watched a video explaining that for celebrities, the "baby mama" and "come up" women are usually dark skin. Then when the male celebrity gets popular, they go for a light skin woman or white woman.
@Raven Smith so true; it's either a wake up call or risk choosing a darker man with less socially acceptable characteristics.
African American men claim to be pro blk, but you always see them chasing white women and Latinas and even try claiming Latinas who barely have blk blood as blk
@@ralphaelc1793 The way you worded that seemed a little inappropriate as it seems you're saying black men HAVE TO be with black women and they have no other option. The truth that black men do not want to be with black women is because of the statistical fact that black women tend to be more argumentative and more masculine instead of feminine. You can also search up right now the race with the least marriages and black women pop up. Masculine men want feminine women, it's why Tyrone's want a soft feminine Becky and not a loud angry Shaniqua.
@@Joe-bs6hd can you tell why are you leaving this soft feminine beckies as single mother? And most of the soft feminine beckies, heck even the soft feminine shaniqua that I have seems tend to marry non-black male. Black male are also the least marry group of male in America so what's your point?
All monoracial and multiracial people are beautiful. Love yourself 😊
since ethnically im half Chinese while my nationality is Indonesian and half white, ppl like to guess where im from, some just guess im European or some may see that im quite Asian or some just don't see me as Asian and get all confused, so ig i pass a little more as white than my asian side. but yeah since living in Indonesia my whole life, and it quite common to have mixed-race people here, but it is quite rare. i have gotten some attention in my life and I wont lie i get really self-conscious. It's just a common thing here that whenever a woman or a man is mixed with white and Indonesian, they get to become movie stars or models, or just get more clout. i had this one modeling competition and the comments under the post where I was in said how there should be more Indonesians representing Indonesia and there's too many mixed kids on it so of course, i felt bad about myself on entering, i learned to take that opinion like a grain of salt now though. And of course, i believe representing Indonesian women is important in competitions like these, they are beautiful and everyone should feel represented. damn sorry this comment is getting too long. I also just wanted to say i love the text someone said in the comment section “Beautiful people are a race of their own” claps for that
I think it's because we often see mixed people on the media who ended up with the most conventionally attractive features from each race
I think people like to see what they consider their races most attractive features combined with other races most attractive features.
There is a set of twins that are kind of famous and they are both 1/4 Black and 3/4 European but labeled as 'one black twin and one white twin' the main difference between them is skin color, hair color, and hair texture. The 'black twin' is kind of like the Halle Barry looking 'ideal' and is rated by people as far more attractive than the 'white twin' who has stronger African facial features, but has fair skin and hair color. Some even go as far to say that she's unattractive or 'weird looking'.
My opinion is that the 'black twin' has the features deemed more desirable of both races with Caucasian-esque facial features, caramel skin (a bronze tan to white people and 'light skin' to Black people), a curvy body type, full lips, and hair that is not 'kinky' but curly and with volume.
Meanwhile the 'white twin' has features of both races that are deemed less desirable...African facial features, pale skin (the kind of pale associated with being sickly looking), thin lips, skinny not very curvaceous body, and thin hair.
That sounds really harsh tbh, I'm not trying to say that these features are objectively undesirable, but this is something I have noticed. 'Black fishers' don't try to emulate a 4c hair texture or African nose shape, nor are Asian women trying to make their noses look big and prominent, or their lips thin.
I can easily list the most desired traits from each race..
Black- Fullness of lips, curvaceous body type
White- Various hair and eye colors
Asian- Neoteny, thick straight hair
Native American/Indigenous- Cheekbones, hair texture
Also to note too, a lot of things Qoves said about society and the idea that more Caucasian features could boost attractiveness. Something I would like to note as well is that people kind of instinctively go for what they think they can pull off more. Kim Kardashian has never had naturally fair skin or light hair. She would dissatisfied if she went after a more White looking ideal like Brittney Spears or Paris Hilton.
I know which twins you are referencing here, the "white" twin had reddish hair, right? I don't think she's white at all actually; she clearly looks albino to me. The reason why is because her skin is powdery looking with a very pink undertone, which is a hallmark of albino skin.
@@peachesandcream8753 Yeah, she has an albino look to her I agree, but she's not albino, she just got the pink type 1 skin color from her Western European side along with the red hair. People call her 'the white twin' because of this, but she doesn't look white to me either. Both the twins look mixed, just in different ways.
I looked up the twins. I think it also has to do with the “white twin” having over plucked her eyebrows in a weird shape she also did her hair and make up in a non flattering way for her. I saw a picture when they were younger and they both looked equally as beautiful imo
@@wannabefitgirl7260 That's also pretty valid I agree lol

This is very validating as a mixed race person 😭
11:58 "Why do African-Americans, 90% of whom have at least one white ancestor, outperform Blacks from African nations in every sport except long distance running? Could it be because of their mixed-race ancestry?"
Well if that's not a reach, then I don't know what it is.
I'm pretty sure it's because African countries either do not invest in sports as much as the United States of America, nor do not have the means to get top sport infrastructures as the USA's, nor do not value much a lot of sports where you can see a lot of Black people as much as the USA's.
And also, maybe it is better to include a lot more variables on the table when we want to speak about the probability of seeing mixed-race people in sports. Maybe the variable 'money'/'income of the parents' or the variable 'network of the parents', or 'mixed couple rate' or 'quality/performance of a mixed-race couple' or 'well-being of a mixed-race child with two different ethnics parents', etc.
I think that explaining performance and probability to mixed-race/bi-or-multiracial people is reducting the possibility of variables at best, and going into a dangerous slippery slope at worst...
race dont give you advantage in anything, this video is trash
It's the investment thing. I'm from Kenya which produces the world's best long distance runners and I honestly don't know how these guys perform at that level with the little support they receive from athletics federations. There are often scandals involving funding for athletes, corruption runs rampant in African countries. Athletics federations are no exceptions.
@@AB-uv9kg Long distance running and marathon running etc. are the sports which require the least equipment or gear, or funding for improvement. Therefore it's the least affected by how wealthy/developed the country or individual is. And especially being an endurance sport, not one of strength or speed over short distances, athletes can't get performance boosts from say, steroids.
You don't need money or anything special to train and excel as a marathon runner. It boils down to the individual's physical traits and their mental strength and how much training they've put in.
We have to bring up the selective breeding that slavery in America had. The more athletic you are, fertile, having the ability to survive harsh conditions, etc; means that you were going to pass your genes on. Eugenics was a big role in American slavery so we have to take that into consideration.

I don't think mixed-race people are more attractive but when there is an attractive mixed-race person the mixture can be very exotic, mysterious and interesting due to the possible combinations of how the features come together. It's an oddity still but when everyone becomes largely mixed-race then maybe people will find persons who are not mixed as being the most attractive. People like attractive to oddities, when everyone was skinny people wanted to be plump when everyone became fat everyone wants to be skinny when people had to work outside and were tan they wanted to be pale when everyone works inside and is pale people want to be tan etc. Everything has its cycle and time. However, most of the mixed people who are rated as the most attractive are typically very white-passing ones it's rarely mixed people who look of African descent, Asian or native descent also that's quite telling.

Some Korean women stopped me and humbly asked me where am I from because they think I look so attractive. Damn nobody complimented me like this before
But now it starts to shift to pure breed as mixed people are more common nowadays I think. I’m a half Turkish half Indonesian-Chinese part time model living in Indonesia.

I don't know what Isabeli Fontana, Gisele Bündchen and Alessandra Ambrósio (maybe Ana Beatriz Barros too) are doing in a mixed race video. Most Brazilian models from the 90s and 2000s are not mixed at all. Adriana is, but you honestly couldn't tell most of the time, which shows that the modeling industry was barely accepting mixed features (I also suspect she does not have Swiss and Japanese ancestry, but I am not sure). And lastly, Portuguese being the 5th most spoken European language in the world, I would hardly call it "marginal".
almost everyone in Brazil has some percentage of African and indigenous genetics therefore they are mixed, even those who pass as white have some genetic from other race
I am not going to stretch this because only a DNA test or further inspection could give us an answer, but saying they are mixed just because they are Brazilian is not strong enough. If they are mixed, it's a very, very small percentage. Isabeli has stated she is, and I quote, "of European origin", Italian and Portuguese. Gisele has said she's German from her mother's and father's side just like most people in her town a number of times. Alessandra's family shows records of Polish and Italian immigrants, maybe Portuguese. I just say this because putting genetically European people in a mixed race video and calling them “white passing” just because of their nationality is just funny to me. This was a great opportunity to use accurate examples such as Laís Ribeiro, Luma Grothe and Daniela Braga (if I’m not mistaken about them).
@@luisa7270 yeah only a DNA test will tell us the truth, but you can argue that if a person who is 95% European with only 5% indigenous/African DNA can be considered mixed race or not this is a valid point but even if they were 100% european(which is possible in those small towns in south brazil) they are most likely a mix of different european nationalities like german, italian, portuguese, polish, spanish etc... so they are not just a ordinary white people, they are a mix of different europeans which is not easy to be found white people like that
@@augustoo2096 Yes, that’s a valid point. Even original European populations are mixed in the sense that there were many groups to form what is called “German”, “Portuguese”, “Irish” today. “Mixed” nowadays is just a modern interpretation of race. I mean, what makes a Swedish + Greek less mixed than an English + Somali for example.
Ana Beatriz Barros looks mixed.
"I also suspect she does not have Swiss and Japanese"
You most likely right about this, I notice some brazilians claim ancestry they don't actually have. Swiss and japanese diaspora weren't common in Salvador where Adriana is from.
Adriana Lima won the genetical jackpot I guess. I'm also mixed but I look more white and quite average, which is not a bad thing. I do prefer mixed Asian men, but they're so rare, don't have any chances to meet anyone.

@@supremeconprimeoverlord8114 bro it's in the thumbnail itself
I don’t think it’s really the face, at least for me. I am black and japanese, people find that interesting because I have 2 cultures and I of course can speak Japanese and have lived/gone there many times. I also can speak spanish. So often people think of me as ‘cultured,’ even before I traveled to countries in Europe, Africa, and other East Asian countries. It just makes you seem more ‘interesting’ than the average person. This is just from my experience because I am mixed but I do not have model looks.
It's because you are more likely to be attracted by people of your own race so when you are attracted to people of different race that must mean they must be really attractive to get over the race/culture/religion barrier, and for them to equally find you as attractive that mean this is two attractive people making a super attractive kid.
But being attracted to a person of different race is what makes mixed babies lmao

mixed people in my country are considered god tier attractive so yeah
Which country?
@@chalrahihaizindagi764 Brazil probably lol
@@suenoIucido I doubt it, considering that nearly all of them are mostly mixed. funny joke, though
@@aesthisrain1308 I’m not sure what are you trying to say. I’m not from Brazil I can’t speak on what’s the beauty standard here, but from the outside looking in it seems that way. Plus, I’ve read a lot about a phenomena of branqueamento, so..
From Korea?
i'm mixed race myself and i'm sorry but i think this is largely a myth. mixed race people do often look "exotic" which really only means unusual and therefore may appear "special" and may therefore stand out more but in reality they are not beautiful, healthy or intelligent in any greater numbers than the rest of the population.
i also think far too much emphasis is placed on physical attractiveness being an indicator of health or "good genes". truth is above averagely physically attractive or "symmetrical" people do not enjoy any better health than the rest of us and are prone to all the same physical liabilities as everyone else.
where is your data? He provided much of it in the video. I don't see any here just opinions. He also mentioned this part of a theory.
@@brandonbayangos9143 it called common sense. You have eyes. Use it. Being mixed is not cultural its has to do with DNA .you can't generlize a group of people by their attractiveness based on DNA ,but you can collectively judge people for their way of life based on their culture practices. Go to googlw and foogle biracial celebrities and tell me if you found them all attractive because they are mixed, also come back and tell me if you where able to read their medical recods just by looking at them enough to determine that they are healthier
He’s right attractiveness doesn’t not correlate good healthy ie. the term skinny fat .
@Shoahshana Goldberg-Shekelstein ...he literally showed the research papers referenced...how is that fake data?
Plz make a video on why Aishwarya Rai looks so different, what separates her beauty from average looking??
He already has.
She's predominately white, with a slightly fatter face. What makes her not average exactly?
Its hilarious how this content creator tries hard to claim any attractive/gorgeous Blk person is somehow mixed. How do they explain many of the most famous Blk models being pure African?
There’s some people in the comments arguing that anyone who isn’t west African is just Eurasian mix and no longer purely African…maybe he’s using that logic
Also he said that Tiger woods is Black and European when he is black and Asian so idk how through his research was with this one..
@@kennyb1588 thats the most idiotic thing I have ever heard in my life. People can't even name 5 African countries and suddenly know their genetics? So everywhere in Africa is mixed except West Africa? Central, Southern, and East Africa all mixed? All Kenyans and Ugandans, and South Sudanese mixed? How is it Europe and Asia are "pure" but not Africa?
@@AfriPrincess411 they said that genetic purity in Africans outside of west Africa is just African-Americans trying to claim lighter skinned Africans as black when they aren’t(what’s funny though is that a lot of Africans in other regions have large numbers of dark skinned people as well and there are a lot of lighter skinned people in Western Africa who aren’t mixed but that’s none of my business) …
I’ve wondered the same thing like why is it that other ethnic groups can just be X but when it comes to black/African people we have to be xyz and their evidence is always some great migration that happened thousands of years ago like if you’re using that logic than no one is native anywhere or fully anything because everyone came from Africa and spread out. Like why can a white person just be European and it’s rarely questioned but Africans who aren’t walking stereotypes have to be mixed with xyz…even if they have no recent ancestors from any of those places…it sounds to me like people just have a problem with acknowledging that not all Africans look alike. I don’t get it though like they can acknowledge that Italians and British people don’t look alike but are still Europeans or that Chinese and Indian people may not look alike despite being from the same continent but when it comes to Africans “oh no it must be admixture cause there’s no way that natural evolutionary patterns could cause there to be more than one phenotype for people of African descent” Weird
@@kennyb1588 EXACTLY!!!! They also do it to any West African who doesn't fit their stereotype. Like other populations can be diverse, yet Africans who have the most genetic diversity must always look phenotypically the same?
@@AfriPrincess411 right! And honestly you can tell the difference between someone who is African and someone who is mixed with other groups like Eastern Africans don’t look like your typical Blasian or black and wasian mix even generationally like they used Naomi Campbell as an example and she doesn’t look Eastern African despite being generationally mixed with Chinese and possibly some type of European.
I am not denying that there may be some admixture due to colonialism but it’s definitely not as wide spread as some people want to think.
Like they tell all African-Americans that we are like 40% white and I took a dna test and had under 10% European dna but I still look like you’re average brown skin Aa person.
El colorismo sigue siendo un problema importante dentro de las comunidades negra, puertorriqueña, dominicana, brasileña y cubana.
Beauty is all subjective. It depends on what criteria is being used to define beauty. Like here in Hawaii, most people don't find Caucasians very attractive but they might be found attractive in other parts of the world.
Other parts of the world as in: every other part of the world.
What a weird comment
That's big cap
12:07 The Olympics and other such interational competitions cant be used a legitmiate evidence because to make an athlete it takes and extraordinary amount of capitol (training, nutrition, expertise, facilities) that most nations don't have access to.
That flaw should be quite obvious to anyone that studies data in any kind of legitimate way.
Fr LMAO... not a shred of materialist analysis, just straight boot licking 😂😂
@@af8828 they be saying anything on here sometimes & people take it as facts because of the serious voice lol.
It troubles me to hear Blacks refer to light skin or mulattos as being good looking with good hair. I remember hearing some young black teenage girls saying back in the 80's passing them on the street in New York City. One of the Black teenage girls said to the other girls, girl I am going to have me a baby by a Puerto Rican so my baby can come out light skin with good hair. 😩 🥺 😢 😭 This was very sad and ignorant to hear Black teenage girls saying something like this.
Sad
5:51 Mama Mia!! She’s literally perfect
Mid
Alessandra is Italian and Polish mixed, Ana Beatriz is Spanish, Portuguese, German and Italian mixed.
Gisele is 100% German both her parents comes from German ancestry
Isabeli is 100% Italian
Aline is Japanese and Portuguese
And Adriana is all that but she doesn’t have Japanese. She is for sure native Brazilian mixed with Angolan, German and Portuguese.
There is also Cintia Dicker.
Adriana's european background is really just Portuguese, no German. She took a DNA test.
She does have Japanese, that was on her DNA test.
people have a serious problem with text interpretation, he said that on average mixed race people tend to be more beautiful. he didn't say that only mixed-race people are beautiful or that all mixed-race people are beautiful, he said that they are overrepresented in the fashion world and among people recognized as beautiful, and he used statistics. Statistics cannot be refuted with anecdotal evidence.
Interracial couples are overrepresented in just general media as well.
It's pretty obvious they're doing these things on purpose.
I've never once thought they were more attractive, quite the opposite really. And despite them cherry picking all the "attractive" mixed people they can find to showcase en masse it still hasn't phased me. It's bizarre to me that media goes out of their way to try and find attractive mixed people, or 90% white people and trying to claim they're mixed etc to try and give some false impression of reality. It really does seem like there's some odd agenda going on.
I probably see dozens of mixed race couples in tv/movies/commercials every month...But I live in the second most multicultural city in the world and rarely ever see mixed race couples in real life. Only have one friend who's in a mixed relationship, a native with a black guy.
I love learning about people’s nationalities! Personally, I’m English, Irish, Italian, Southwest Asian, German, and Dutch!
when i look at myself in the mirror im a little bit disgusted from how i look. because if you look at it long enough, you realize that because i look dead centre between two races and i think sometimes i fall in the uncanny valley area. I don't look normal
Not sure why people are trying to claim Naomi Campbell as mixed. She's no more mixed than your average black person. Also I'm not sure why Adriana is known as an "afro latina" She's white passing and most likely majority white.
Adriana is 63.5% European
Adriana has two mixed parents...that's why
My mom is light skinned black and my dad is biracial (white and black). My mom always joked that my brother and I were a quarter white (but the joke ended up being on her🤣). I bought my mom, myself, and my grandma (my mom's mom) a ancestry DNA test. I took my test and it said I inherited some white and black from both parents ( my mom turned out to be a quarter white I was a little bit more). I'm 51% black, 47% white, and 2% Native American, so I look mixed. People are always very curious to know what I am. Sometimes people think I'm Middle Eastern because I do look like them. I think people like mixed faces because they just look different from the norm and people like the exotic. I also think when you identify as black but looked mixed, people see you as more than other black people who aren't mixed and may not have the lighter skin and curly hair. Just my opinion but I am not surprised to hear that mixed faces are found more attractive, the UK even did a study on it and came to the same results.
so much cherry picking in this video. I can pick out random full White or full Asian models and give the same argument and say non-mixed people are more attractive! Also, Africa is the most genetically diverse country in the world (look it up if you don't believe me) so by that logic, they should be considered the most attractive race but people are still very colorist .
As someone from Central Asia, we're all mixed (just like South Americans and Mexicans are), and we don't see it as anything special. Oh, an Asian-looking person with amber, blue, green, or hazel eyes?? No big deal... We see that here often and we don't go super crazy over it.
Africa is not a country. It’s a continent.
Africa is a continent with 54 countries
I agree with you on central asians they are just so exotic.
Then please feel free to make your own video on your own channel and make the argument :0)
Everything mixed with white is considered better looking,don't be fooled. And yes...Brazilians are certainly more good looking than Scandinavians for sure 😂😂😂
Their isn't a a image to us brazilians. Everyone is "Mixed"
