Comparing Beauty Across Color Lines

Some people get caught up in trying to compare beauty across color lines.  But this can’t be done.  Because we are so physically different that we can’t be compared.  It makes me think of those people who try to compare Black women’s beauty unfavorably to white women’s beauty.  But the two can’t be compared because they’re not even similar enough.  They’re so dissimilar that no comparison can be made.  And preferences are not always relevant.  I mean I might prefer green skin on a man, but that doesn’t mean that orange skin is ugly.  It just means that I don’t get turned on by orange skin.  But orange skin is still beautiful anyway.

So please, please stop thinking that your preferences define an entire group of people.  Because they don’t.  Your preferences don’t define anything except what you like personally.
