The red pill makes it pretty clear that being from a minority group is a massive disadvantage if you want to do well with some of the more attractive women that the USA has to offer. Black guys are probably the only minority group that seem to have a lot of success with good looking American women but the rest of the minority groups for the most part don't do so hot in the United States.

Take the guy in this photo for example. Objectively, he is a handsome guy and would do well with women in various countries but in the USA he would be stuck to dating women of his own ethnic background. Most physically attractive American women, especially the white ones, would not consider sleeping with him or fucking him unless he obtained celebrity status or was a millionaire. All because the guy is not white and from an ethnic group that hardly has much positive presentation in media.

It leads me to believe that race might actually be more important than looks if you're trying to do well in the USA but I don't actually get it.

If Americans talk about being tanned or having the tall "dark" and handsome looks are such a great thing, then why is it that being a non-black minority (some of whom actually have that kind of appearance) is a disadvantage that is as bad as being short?
