I can't believe in this day and age that folks would let this headline pass through like that. Like the editor gave the thumbs up on this and thought this was a good idea
essence magazine telling da sistas to forget a Tyrone, and get u a Todd.
In a series of controlled interviews, Reece attempted to test and measure the power of perception. 3,200 black subjects were asked questions about their racial backgrounds. Interviewers then graded each person’s attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most attractive. The average attractiveness rating among subjects who identified as mixed race was 3.74; while those who identified as black were given a score of 3.47 – a significant difference that alludes the power of racial bias.

For example, in ethnographies of strip clubs Frank (2002) and Brooks (2010)) found that black women often found themselves marginalized by patrons who sought to interact with other non-white women. Multiracial, exotic-looking women (e.g., women with features that made them appear racially ambiguous) on the other hand, were sought after by these patrons and earned more income than women perceived as “only” black, even if they did not earn as much as their white counterparts. Because of this, black women learned, and were even told, to emphasize their multiracial heritage, or to pretend to be multiracial even if they actually were not, in an attempt to distance themselves from the “pure” blackness to a more exotic, acceptable, attractive and muted form of blackness. This provides support for my primary argument that identification changes one’s level of perceived attraction even when accounting for physical appearance. This latter part is especially salient as women with no multiracial heritage were able to increase their profiles through claiming this heritage.
It's also telling them that they aren't attractive unless they're mixed themselves. That leads to all kinds of problems and causes self hating. Not even mentioning how this helps drive a wedge between black women and men.
And "look better" based on whose standards?
