Hmmm this really got my attention Black Women are Beautiful!

Psychology Today found a way to prove scientifically that, in terms of attractiveness, black women fall somewhere in between other races of women, and men - but probably closer to other races of women than to men, I'm assuming, via "the benefit of the doubt." Lollerskates.
Of course, the story was removed from the Psychology Today website, after it became the talk of Black People Twitter, lest people who don't work for a living threatened to boycott whatever is advertised in Psychology Today. Evolutionary psychology textbooks? Sriracha?
The article consisted of several charts. This first chart shows how black women are much less attractive than white women, Asian women and Feather Indian women, in that order.

But I'm actually more concerned with this other chart, that shows that black women have a higher self-perceived attractiveness than any other race of women. (Concerned, mind you. Not surprised.)

The truth of the matter is that what constitutes a beautiful woman is subjective in nature. I, for one, happen to like young women with amazing bodies. Someone else might beg to differ. That just means more opportunity for me. But I think we can all agree that there's nothing attractive about being conceited.
