Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but, to do a scientific study is a bit outlandish in my opinion. I am a 26 year old black woman who has NEVER had any complaints about my skin. I have been around the world in Europe and parts of Asia and have always been given compliments on how beautiful ppl thought I was (both male and female. I have noticed that in other parts of the world you are seen as American first and then people focus on the physical later. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and for this guy to come up with some elaborate study is ridiculous. Not all black women have the same features and to categorize us as such is nauseating Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks for example both gorgeous but two different physical characteristics. I was always taught that everyone is beautiful in one fashion or another…………and I have a full blood Irish husband with blonde hair and green eyes who agrees with me.
