You had me until this tweet. You can't acknowledge that attractive ppl are often treated better w/o acknowledging that white ppl are often held as the standard of beauty. Thus, ppl who are attractive but not white still benefit from their looks less than attractive white ppl.https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1327014086752620545 …
How many features associated with others before the thing that's beautiful about you is no longer whiteness? Right now it seems like what actually is considered beautiful is a racially ambiguous half black-half-white-ish look. Calling that "white with black features" seems weird.

That racial ambiguity often times still denotes proximity to whiteness tho. My initial point remains, it's false and quite damaging to claim that beauty privilege is more prevalent than racial disparity when perception of beauty and race are so intertwined.

It also denotes promixity to blackness? That's what ambiguity means. I don't think that this issue is 'one answer' - you can find examples of whiteness beauty in some areas and blackness beauty in others. I do agree they're often intertwined.
