Kanazawa's Study On Black Women Having Higher Testosterone Levels Is Incorrect? by anonymous6(f): 6:07pm On Sep 06, 2011
There was a psychologist months ago by the name of Satoshi Kanazawa who published a failed study that Black women are less attractive then non-black women because of higher testosterone levels then non-black women, which caused a uproar and anger: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1388313/LSE-psychologist-Satoshi-Kanazawa-claims-black-women-attractive.html

it was later debunked as being a failed study because of many factors, including the fact that it isn't true that Black women have lesser levels of estrogen then non-black women but the truth is Black women have the same levels of estrogen as non-black women:

1. What are your thoughts?
2. what is your opinion of people that use health claims that are false as a attempt to explain their opinion and sometimes racist opinions on race?

1. What objective evidence do you have from his fellow colleagues (peer-reviewed journals) that gives you the right to call his research "a failed study, false", or is your rant based on the mere hear-say you received from newspaper reports?

2. Has there been any study till date which directly analysed Kanazawa's study, and showcased any "failure or false allegation" therein?

If your answer to the afore-mentioned questions is derived from Dailymail newspaper, Breastcancer.com, orĀ  Wikipedia, then I am sorry, you have absolutely NO case whatsoever. The time you would have spend rubbishing a London School of Economics scholar's report may have been better spent researching on a counter-argument, rather than believing in fairy-tales from Wikipedia e.t.c.
