Very sad, that this is what people are actually doing with sex - and that this was the reality for some black people. Not to the extent described here(I hope), but certainly there were those who attempted to bleach their skin or alter their natural hair and facial features to "look white."

That happens in other countries too. For example, some South Asians are very color conscious. Sad.

Very. Not to sound all woke or anything, but all people and all skin colors are beautiful. Especially women. I'm straight, but I love female beauty, and there are strikingly beautiful women of all ethnicities.

I find women in general prettier than men no matter the race, I'm straight. Men (ones I find good looking) to my instinct are just something to have sex with and aren't as something to be admired as art compared to beautiful women (not that I mind, I have my own female body parts and dating someone with the exact same thing just seems to reduce variance in my life).

Yeah, I suspect that this is a common feeling among straight women. Women are curvy and more aesthetically pleasing to look at it, with nicely shaped faces. I can appreciate fit looking, athletic men, but there's very few of them I would say are "beautiful"(even if I'm otherwise attracted to them).

I feel women have more beautiful variance on their bodies, but males seem a bit straight, like if you look at the outlines of their body, they're more straight than women. Women in general seem to have a more balanced mixture of curves and straight lines. I appreciate the athletic, handsome face-sculpted males, but if I were given a selection of women models to look at vs men models, I feel women models, in general would be much more preferred.
