"Additional studies confirm racial–ethnic differences such that African-American men are more accepting of heavier women, but white men choose thinner silhouette figures as ideal female body types, and hope their girlfriends will lose weight significantly more often than African-American men (Greenberg and LaPorte 1996). Compared to white men, African-American men prefer larger body types for women and attribute fewer negative and more positive personality traits and qualities to obese women (Jackson and McGill 1996)." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
White men have twice the odds of mestizo men, and four times the odds of Black men, of expressing a preference for thin women.
This is an underrated downside of the browning of America. As the country becomes less White, White preferences will become more pathologized. Instead of this fat pig's simps being rightly seen as disgusting chubby chasers, you'll see browns and islamophiles like @UndeadOdalisque / @EvilVizier crop up and start accusing normal people of being "gay" or being "a pedo who hates girls without curves since they don't look like prepubescent girls."

I have a message for these people. What's "normal" is not what has any business being normative. It is the third-world masses who breed like cockroaches who are pathological, regardless of what percentage of the planet's population they occupy. Beauty is objective, not because taste is universal, but because European taste (top pic) is superior to swarthoid taste (bottom pic).
EZ 1. End male -> female redistribution (if anything, reverse it) 2. Tax housing for old people and subsidize it for young people. 3. Abolish social security 4. End immigration and legalize segregation 5. Ban job candidates from putting college degrees on resumes
New effortpost arguing that manuscript evaluations in peer review are more correlated with reviewers' theoretical prejudices than they are with the ratings of another reviewer.
How are we supposed to tell whether peer review successfully filters for quality? One low bar is that if there exists some objective way of telling good from bad, then multiple reviewers should be able to follow some common process that lets them agree on which is which.
Looking at a previous meta-analysis of inter-rater reliability with better meta-analytic methods, I find a trim & fill corrected meta-analytic effect of only 0.2054.
Is race a social construct cooked up to justify the transatlantic slave trade?
Review of court cases + censuses + naturalization laws concerning the Whiteness of various groups finds:
-Italians, Irish, non-Anglo Euros always considered white; their naturalization was campaigned against on grounds of non-WASP status rather than non-White status.
-various middle eastern groups mostly ruled to be non-white not-equal.org/content/pdf/mi…
Fuerst's book on the existence of race contains some good discussion on historical usage of the concept: philpapers.org/archive/FUETNO…
Some inconvenient quotes:
-1778: King Louis XVI of France forbids all his white subjects to “contract marriage with blacks, mulattoes or other people of colour”: x.com/kunley_drukpa/…
-Roman Emperor, Julian the Apostate discusses human biodiversity - that is innate differences between the races in mind and body: tertullian.org/fathers/julian… i.imgur.com/r6sFxlr.png
-Napoleon: "Had I been at Martinique, I should also have been on the side of the English [...] I am for the whites, because I am white; I have no other reason, yet that is reason good enough." x.com/thltd_/status/…
