Racial Differences
African-American and Hispanic women are twice as likely as Caucasian women to report not wanting to change their body in any way.
African-American and Hispanic women are more likely than Caucasian women to feel they're more attractive than their significant other. (Rock on sisters!)
A third of African-American women think of themselves as the most attractive person in the room. (Gotta love that confidence!)
African-American and Hispanic men are nearly twice as likely as Caucasian men to say the butt is among the most attractive features of a woman.
African-American men are directionally more likely to embrace and aspire to curviness – they say they want curvier hips and a higher/rounder butt or a larger butt. (No surprise there!)
African-American women are least likely to be on a diet/watch their weight. (With the obesity epidemic in the US, is that a good thing?)
