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 …
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.

... The initial point about racial disparity still stands. But if you don't want to acknowledge that, fine. I've never heard of someone being called attractive because they were "mixed w/ Black" whereas "mixed w/ white" is often the reason given for someone's attractiveness

In my own experience and that of many other mixed-race Black women, were not attractive to non-Black ppl because we're Black but because there is something else "diluting" our Blackness. And so, once again, it's the proximity to whiteness, not Blackness that makes us attractive
