  2. Yeah this is probably never going to go away. I blame Disney amongst other things, every bad is dark every thing good is light. We do the same thing as well. There are features that we prefer that doesn't naturally occur in African American women (Natural vs Relaxed Hair), I would say Hip Hop videos is our Disney, the wack women are usually big (which naturally occurs given our eating habits [fried chicken, sweet tea, etc] the fly joints are more Hispanic looking

  5. Yeah this was interesting. The response from the boys was intriguing, they said there is no difference in the attractiveness in the Black and White dolls.

    Like Trey I would like to see this study done across all demographics.
