I've come to the conclusion that people say nonsense like "Scandinavia has the most beautiful people" because they're preferences are heavily entrenched in white beauty standards. I saw SO many ugllees when I was travelling there recently and I bet people would still be fawning over them because they have blue eyes, pale skin and blond hair
The proportion of attractive people to uglees was probably around the same as it is in America, but America has fewer attractive whites and more attractive POC.
