Well, ofcourse it depends on what society you live in, but if you say the Western world like Europe and US, and the most shallow place on earth, Hollywood I'd say blacks and maybe whites to some extent.

Black women very rarely suffer from eating disorders. Infact I saw an article that said black women thought the highest of body image.

Like you say, the pressure of being skinny for (white) females is huge, cuz for some reason it's more unacceptable for white women to have curves than blacks for example.

And this hysteria about tanning is very unnecessary, but thankfully it's passing, finally pale skin is appreciated again (thanks to the vampire thing!) Tanning lotions are not going off the shelves into the dump.

I'd say at least East Asians are pretty appreciated these days for their looks, white men doesn't seem to get enough of them.

Blacks defintley have a hairproblem, there seem to be very few who likes afros, even among black men it seems like straight hair is preffered. Relaxing/wigs/weaves seems almost obvious to most people, allthough it's anything but natural.

And also the big noses seem to be an issue for both the blacks themselves and to the Western world's bueaty ideal, it has never been appreciated, many blacks gets nosejobs done. Allthough the dark skincolour seem to be more accepted now than ever, or at least the more lightskinned ones.

I know too little about this to have a statement.

I have to say Latinas seem to be pretty comfortable with themselves.

She was beautiful, I hope she never doubted that.
You sound a little upset. Despite of weaves or ''unfavourable features''you still have quite a few black supermodels/models. Also I didn't know latino was a race.
