In terms of sexual selection, East Asian women have the most gracile features. This doesn't mean they are 'the most attractive,' since that phrasing is inevitably a matter of personal opinion. However we can modify the question a bit so it has an objective answer:

All other things equal, what race of woman would the highest number of men find to be most attractive, on average?

For purposes of simplicity we will ignore the conditioning that people go through to be attracted to this or that (not something that can be ignored IRL, but you understand). East Asian women are more neotenous, more gracile, slighter of frame, less inclined towards corpulence, and more demure by nature. However, East Asians have the lowest genetic diversity of all races, and are most genetically distinct from the original African type. Remember, as you move away from Africa, genetic diversity decreases. Therefore they are 'more different' from other races than other races are to each other, and there are fewer outliers, generally speaking. So while as a matter of evolution, East Asian women are probably the most universally attractive on average, we ought not to expect them to have as many standouts as other races. So they would be more beautiful on average, but rarely would an East Asian be the most beautiful individual example. Most people probably don't think about this in terms of averages and instead visualize a handful of the most attractive women they have ever seen, probably settling on 'white' unless they have a particular inclination. But that is hardly a scientific way to answer the question. Think of all the homely women in that mental sample that you have left out. There are probably more unfortunate looking white women than East Asians (per capita), if you're really honest.

It's a shame that the African females are generally considered unattractive. It isn't their fault. They only had to compete with each other in Africa, where the dark complexion and more robust features, higher testosterone, etc., were all useful in that environment. Now they have to compete with hyper-gracile Asian females and white standouts that just weren't around in their ancestral environment. However for that same reason, black men are considered more attractive in the West (and East Asian men less so). According to this notion, though, some of the most beautiful individual women in the world would be at least partially black, rare as they might be. Take that as you will.

At the level of physical attraction, it's all reducible to simple universals as matters of ontogeny and endocrinological development. We're still apes at the end of the day. The psychological element makes things much more complex--I could write a whole thesis about that, which is why I did write a whole thesis about that, back in my masters days.

black men are considered more attractive in the West

That's only due to decades of bombardment with nigger worship propaganda by the Jewish media. And still it remains that the most attractive black men are mulattoes like Rick Fox (these days girls are obsessed with guys like Drake and The Weeknd), and they are attractive mainly because of their European features. The most attractive blacks are hardly black at all. This holds true for women too. There are some very pretty mulattas like Rihanna, Jada Pinkett, Tinashe. Prettiest in the world? I wouldn't go that far.

Black men are not considered more attractive by anyone in the West other than maybe black women.

It happens. Maybe it's not the norm, and maybe these are not quality women. But it definitely happens.

citing Lewis (2011)

Oh gee, probably the most ridiculous study I came across. I assume you haven't read it? Because I can't imagine how any person can take this seriously. This study consists of psychology professor giving his class of 18 (yes eighteen) students faces he pulled from Facebook and have them rate them on attractiveness. To his great satisfaction he found that blacks and mixed-race faces are the most attractive. Besides the fact that college students are unrepresentative sample of population and that sample size is absurdly small ( it's even less than 18 because only men rated female faces and vice versa so the actual sample size is half of that) it goes against every other finding in the literature. Not that author acknowledged that.

Funnily enough, this same guy published similar study in 2010 this time done on 20 of his students which found that mixed people are the most attractive. I guess writing short, easy-to-done studies to have any publication history at his name is his shtick.

Your 4th link doesnt work, and these studies are about dating not attraction. Women care about status. Thats why they date white men.

Dating isn't about attraction? Well that's an interesting take.

Anyway, if that was true, all women wold go for Asian men since they are the richest demographic group. Yet that doesn't happen. In fact, when you look at the table 5.6 in the infograph asian men would have to earn $254K more than white men in order for white women to prefer them. Black men would have to earn $154K more. This shows that race trumps money in dating. Besides, one of the surveys literally asked "which ethnicity you find most attractive" and white women chose white men by a pretty huge margin.
