'Black women are ugly' - outrage at Satoshi Kanazawa's racist science blog on Psychology Today
"BLACK women are less attractive than white, Asian and Native American Women. And there's scientific proof."
Website Psychology Today was accused of peddling racist psuedo-science when it published the above claims this week in a blog by controversial evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa.
Dr Kanazawa's post, which the website took down after a huge backlash, argued that black women were less physically attractive than other women and that it has something to do with testosterone and genetic mutations.

He wrote on Monday in his regular blog, The Scientific Fundamentalist: A Look at the Hard Truths About Human Nature:
"Black women are on average much heavier than nonblack women. However, this is not the reason black women are less physically attractive than nonblack women ...Because they have existed much longer in human evolutionary history, Africans have more mutations in their genomes than other races."
Dr Kanazawa, who teaches at the London School of Economics, attempted to justify his theory by dressing his post up with colourful bar graphs and lots of stats.
