Freedman et al (2004) observed that, as expected, black men were more likely to choose heavier figures as an ideal body for women than white men. Also expected was that both groups would choose figures with a low waist to hip ratio, but black men would choose a lower waist to hip ratio as ideal. They also show weight to be a more important cue than waist to hip ratio in mate selection as well as supporting the theory that black men’s preferences may serve as a protective factor against eating and body image pathology in black women.

What is the black man's obsession with fat white women?

I'd reason since Africa is poverty stricken they have an evolutionary strategy to go after heavier women because they are more fertile.
See. Mauritania. They have a song describing fat women.

Love song describing fat women.

Interesting.
Aren't fat people less fertile now though? I guess evolution hasn't caught up to our dietary habits yet.

I updated the post.
With the dysgenic effect in America, low IQ people are having more kids, IQ and obesity correlate.

This is very true, I've been studying that for awhile.
What about my other question. Black people being scared of nature, and pretty much everything?
Asked because of your comment about hunting.
Thanks!
