Er…

Speechless.

LSE would appear to be paying someone who publishes articles saying “”Black women are … far less attractive than white, Asian, and Native American women.”* And somehow such claims got past Psychology Today‘s editorial – although the article has now been removed.

Where to begin? With the racism? The assumption that there are uncontroversial standards of physical attractiveness? Ug.

* Caveat: I haven’t read the now removed article and can’t access his research papers. But its hard to imagine how that claim couldn’t be problematic.
