Black Women Less Attractive Due to High BMI & Testosterone (WTF?)

You know, I thought I had seen and heard it all…
A controversial blogger for Psychology Today, Satoshi Kanazawa, basically thinks black women are not attractive because they are fat & have high levels of testosterone. Get this, he even backs it up with studies and “graphs.” Kanazawa’s article, A Look at the Hard Truths About Human Nature was yanked from the website but not before the folks over at BuzzFeed stole the screen shot of the article. His post mentioned other factors could be causing black women to come up short on the attractiveness scale like intelligence. Really?
I’m going to let ya’ll read this article but I know ALL women are going to be disturbed by this.
Kaja Perina, Psychology Today‘s editor-in-chief, didn’t explain why Kanazawa’s piece was removed, however she told NPR, “Our bloggers are credential[ed] social scientists and for this reason they are invited to post to the site on topics of their choosing. We in turn reserve the right to remove posts for any number of reasons. Because the post was not commissioned or solicited by PT (in contrast to a magazine article), there was no editorial intent to address questions of race and physical attractiveness.”
Translation, “this fool is crazy and we ain’t going out like that.” Kanazawa’s personal site says “Prepare to be offended” Yep, I’m offended.
How do you feel about his view? Does anyone really buy his whack azz theories?
So traumatized right now, I need someone to tell me I’m pretty while lifting weights at the gym
