Nola: Physical attractiveness is a reliable advantage. Being hispanic and attractive and intelligent is going to do more for you than being white and lacking those traits. Because skin color does not travel as an advantage. Skin color can become a disadvantage if you're trying to get into college with AA, for example. It fades as advantage when you travel to another country. It fades when you travel to a different city. However, physical attractiveness tends to not fade when put in different situations.
I'll put it another way: There are many places in the world where it's not good to be the white guy. There are far fewer places int he world where it's not good to be the attractive guy.
Overall, most people are a factor of a multitude of traits that determine their advantages and disadvantages. Some traits can be an advantage and a disadvantage, as there is contextual influence at play.
This is why your dumbass is on ignore.
I'm on ignore because you couldn't handle having your nonsense unraveled about Seth Rich and Speedtest hacker conspiracies. Which prompted passive aggressive comments in unrelated threads and you unable to handle it when I insulted back.
Again though, you are kind of asserting stuff without any capacity to truly qualify it. So the discussion you are angling toward is kind of a non-starter because it exists solely in the realm of subjectivity. Attractiveness and most other traits(whatever that means) > whiteness is ultimately unprovable given the limitations of our capacity to rigorously test complex things like that on macro levels.
What we know historically, scientifically, economically, and observationally is that there are a number of traits that in the aggregate gives an individual an advantage in society over those lacking it or with certain alternative traits. Attractiveness is one, race is also absolutely one. Especially in this country.
And there is an enormous amount of evidence to back this up. Does being white travel? depends on the country. But given the way world history has played out it does so better than any other race. Since on a whole, places where being white has ingrained enormous structural, economic, and societal advantages constitutes where the majority of wealth and nation development are.
Take America. You have 300 years of built up structural and normative advantages that give a leg up to white people. Particularly white men. That is a pretty fucking powerful advantage to have, and it means that you are far more probable to start life out with more advantages if you are the product of white parents. And studies in all manner of fields illustrate ways in which this plays out. From the smaller advantages, like having a white sounding name tends to lead to more callbacks for jobs than a black sounding name. To the slightly bigger ones like housing loans and the ongoing discrimination that is still being found as recent as last year amongst three major banks. To the really big ones like the probability of being white leading to being born and growing up in areas and school districts that are more rooted in educational opportunities and who's schools are better advantaged toward college acceptance criteria or being in a wealthier household and having access and the ability to afford healthier meals, better healthcare, extending one's life expectancy.
Is it more advantageous than attractiveness on the whole? IDK, like I said, kind of impossible to ever determine. Not even sure how you would structure or test such a thing either.
I don't have any reason to doubt that attractiveness is an advantage, even a major one. Plenty of evidence - some which you provided - illustrates that. Doesn't mean being white, particularly in America, isn't itself often a major advantage as well. And it is kind of silly to get in a dick measuring contest over something of this nature.
