i personally find Kanazawa a hilarious realist! he's just too focused on the objectivity of his study, to the point where he dismisses any courtesy to society or in this case, all african-americans. Regardless of how "objective" the study is, he'll soon get beaten up by one of his participants... we should really give him a course on all those (considerations) you thought us! :D

Haha, yes Kanazawa is funny :) I personally believe that beauty is subjective and cultural. There might be some biological factors influencing what we think is beautiful, such as symmetry and a "healthy" look. But the color of the skin, body size, the shape of the eyes etcetera, all that I think is personal preference.
