Look up the work of Satoshi Kanazawa.

Appreciate the good faith dialogue. Looks like Kanazawa does credibly discuss 'objective attractiveness', I can understand the way he is using the term. I can see he makes the claim specifically that Black people are 'objectively' considered less attractive by some measurable standard. I see what you are getting at here, and note your point - however, this doesn't quite support the 'white people are the most attractive race' stuff that other guy was saying. I highly doubt Kanazawa with an obviously Japanese name would support that sentiment

I don't think it's really a matter of objectively ranking the races though I brought him up because it was the topic under discussion.

Even if Whites were the ugliest and stupidest people on Earth I'd still want to preserve them. It's human bio diversity and it's prescious. Obviously we're neither of those things but ultimately it's something most on the DR want to preserve for many reasons probably as simple as me wanting the Willy Wag Tail bird to be preserved. It's one expression of the beauty of nature and to lose it would be a tragedy. Same for White people.

Quite telling that you actually think his ethnicity would affect his scientific outcomes. What a bizarre thing to say.

I think that's a reasonable take i can understand, I have no problem with preserving biodiversity.

Its not so much I think his ethnicity would determine the outcome of his research per se, but often when I have heard arguments about racial or cultural superiority, the person making the argument, scientist or otherwise is usually a member of the supposedly superior group. I don't think it's that bizarre to assume some inherent bias often exists

Funnily enough the people who taught me the undeniable fact that NE Asians on avg are more intelligent as a race than Whites were all Whites themselves. Maybe you've just been reading the wrong people.

yeah most asians are pretty low IQ. Here in western countries we see chinese immigrants and they tend to be smart, they're the people that were smart enough to get out of their hellhole country. Or they had rich parents who sent them to good colleges in the west. They're the top 1% but they don't represent all. If chinese had high IQs they wouldn't be so easy to brainwash and control.
