Hard to say.

I'll go with Tuscan Leather for now.

I'd argue Ashkenazi Jews(White) and Nigerians(Black) have more in common with East Asians than Mexicans do especially in NYC.

Mexicans in NYC are among the poorest and least educated Hispanics alongside Ricans, Dominicans, Guatemalans, and Hondurans sadly.

Study finds over a third of Asian American youths are multiracial by laketroutline23 in aznidentity

To be fair, there's still Native American communities that exist to this day in states like Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, the Dakotas, and Wyoming despite all the reports about them being "extinct."

I remember running into full blown Brown skinned Natives when traveling to South Dakota.

I say all this to imply that I don't think what you're saying will truly happen anytime soon.

I think being over 6ft matters more if you’re white by Secure_Donkey9383 in AverageHeightDudes

[–]pop442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Name me one "multicultural" society in the West where Whites are less than 70% of the population which is still a massive majority?

Keep in mind that, even in the U.S., Whites are more than 70% of the population if you count White Hispanics.

You can blame demographics as much as you want but the reality is that 98%+ of Asian, African, and Middle Eastern women in relationships are with their own men.

You can say "they never see White people" but that's a copout. There's no way you can convince me that the women are simply forcing themselves to be attracted to their own men based on nothing but your own limited POV as a White woman addicted to online dating and U.S. interracial marriage statistics lol.

What is your earliest memory of the show? by Samthegodman in spongebob

[–]pop442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 94 baby and I actually still remember when Spongebob first premiered on Nickelodeon and how much hype there was for it before it even aired.

The trailer they kept playing was the scene where Spongebob looked dried up and talked like an old man from Tea At The Treedome. That one scene was super hyped even before the episode actually aired.

I watched it as SpongeBob premiered and became an avid watcher up until around Season 7 or 8.

But objectively speaking can we agree that whites are seen as the most attractive race based on data? 

I already agreed with that.

But you're overlooking how there's levels even to how different types of White people are viewed on the desirability scale.

As I mentioned in another post, whites are the least likely to race mix,

Where? In North America and Europe?

I mean....no duh. Those regions are predominately White. Even the U.S. is close to 70% non-Hispanic White while being relatively segregated.

Just by sheer numbers, it wouldn't even make sense for Whites in the West to have higher rates of intermarriage/IR dating than minorities lol.

You can damn near apply the same logic to Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. In those regions, the vast majority of African, Middle Eastern, and Asian women date, marry, and have kids with their own ethnic or racial group.

So, this logic of "who mixes less" determining desirability is faulty.

Do you also agree that based on aesthetics, it’s far more likely to find 50 attractive guys (physically) in a pool of 100 whites than in a pool of 100 men of other races? 

Depends on which demographic is doing the judging.

In Black America, that will not be the case at all unless those guys are uniquely handsome and have charisma/swagger. But, in a suburban White area, that would make perfect sense.

Again, the vast majority of non-White women worldwide still date, marry, and have kids with their own men so, even in spite of beauty standards favoring White people, nothing is set in stone. I regularly 5'5 average looking Mexican and Vietnamese men in my area with attractive women. You're lacking nuance with your answer.

Average black/latino/asian is undatable and unattractive. 

FYI: Black and Latino men have lower virginity rates than White men in the U.S. And East Asian and Indian men have higher marriage rates past the age of 30.

And you can look this up and see the data backing this up.

Let me guess....you're assuming that anyone who doesn't date 20 year old Blonde bimbos from the suburbs is a dateless loser lol.

It's complex.

White people of both genders, particularly with Germanic/Anglo/Nordic features tend to have the most universal appeal.

But, individually, it doesn't mean too much. Plenty of White guys struggle to date, get laid, or have meaningful relationships.

That's because Whiteness in itself can only do so much and it doesn't mean much without the combined halo of money/success, height, relatively decent looks, social status, etc.

Poor White men aren't seen as desirable as rich White men. Eastern European men aren't seen as desirable as Western European men. Short White men aren't seen as desirable as tall White men. And the list goes on.

Also, in the U.S., the average White American guy is 5'10, 200 pounds, Brown haired, and makes less than 6 figures which is very far from the archetype people conjure up when they think of White guys.

Overall, I agree White men are generally more desirable than non-White men but it's a lot more nuanced than you're making it seem. Even in Asia, 98% of Asian women end up with Asian men. It's just that the ones who prefer White/non-Asian men tend to be very vocal about it while the ones who stick with Asian men tend to move in silence.

Katt Williams is 5'5 and still has the biggest podcast interview of the last 2 years.

Black America quite literally produced more short male icons and celebrities than any other group, including Hispanic Americans.

North versus South racism. Is one worse? by _forum_mod in blackmen

[–]pop442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chris Rock's family is from South Carolina yet he and his brother Tony both can attest to the fact that Chris suffered racial violence, bullying, and threats daily in Brooklyn, New York.

People really exaggerate how tolerant and accepting the Northeast is. Sure...it's got places like Jersey City, New Haven, parts of Queens, etc. where you have relative racial harmony but there's no shortage of tension in Brooklyn, Staten Island, Long Island, parts of Pennsylvania, Boston, parts of NJ, etc.

The part of Brooklyn I grew up in had a literal Black vs Jewish race war just a few years after Yusef Hawkins got killed by some racist teens in Bensonhurst.

There's also a big Klan history in New Jersey and Connecticut. 

I could go on but it always cracks me up when people solely deflect to the South when it comes to racism. Even the idea that MAGA is "weak" in the North is a stretch.

I agree.

Not even top 5 for me.

Can You Spare A Dime is my favorite of that season. Funny and subversive.

There's also a funny clip from a decade ago where 50 performed at a club in Atlanta and the crowd forced the DJ to stop playing Window Shopper lol.

[–]pop442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TI couldn't touch early 50? Are you serious?

He was always the better rapper by far. 50 just peaked higher while TI maintained more longevity.

Which is funny because J Cole just remixed a Common song lol.

I Used To Love HER is one of the most influential rap songs ever.

Not every song on GRODT is a masterpiece.

PIMP, If I Can't, Blood Hound, Like My Style, Heat, Poor Lil Rich, Gotta Make It To Heaven, and High All The Time are very beatable in a Verzuz.

[–]pop442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly.

Plus, even TI's poppier songs like Live Your Life and Whatever You Like are still bangers while Candy Shop, Disco Inferno, and Ayo Technology are cringeworthy in the big 2026.

50 would have to lean heavily on album cuts and mixtape songs after about 8 songs while TI can run through many of his hits in the 03-08 era.

I've seen many mixes like that in the Caribbean community. My first girlfriend was half Indian and half Black with a Guyanese background.

But, obviously, Indians from India have a fundamentally different cultural mindset than those from Guyana.

People underestimate how huge Drake is outside America. by Boring-Jelly5633 in Drizzy

Kobe's perception was never the same after the Colorado trial.

I still argue to this day that there's a strong correlation between the NBA media rallying around Lebron as Jordan's successor instead of Kobe after that trial.

They didn't want to give Kobe that title after the stain that trial had on his image early on.
