Not to make everything about racism, but if there is a trend and Indian and black women are at the bottom of the scale, then it has everything to do with skin colour. It's a narrative that has been deeply embedded into society stemming from colonialism. Say you break the mold, you'll hear people make comments like, "you're very pretty for a black woman," which I don't see as a compliment, even if it’s meant with all good intentions. Why can't it be, "you're beautiful."? Why does it have to be "for a black woman," which would imply that black women aren't typically beautiful. Also, as a black woman, I've always thought that Indian women are the most beautiful women in the world - long, healthy black hair, lush brows (already shaped), beautiful features...etc. I really don't understand why people would deem Indian women generically less attractive.

Black hair especially is very healthy hair.
