CMV: The dichotomy between Chad and “Tyrone” is false.

Whenever people talk about the most attractive men, the only names they get brought up or Chad and Tyrone. This is disturbing for many reasons, the racist and crude portrayal of black men aside, the mentality here seems to be the only black and white men can be considered to be alpha or attractive.

This is simply not true. There are many celebrities and even ordinary people of all races, ethnicities, and creeds, that are attractive. For example, within the Latin American population there are men like Enrique Iglesias, Adrian Grenier, and Emilio Estavez.

I’m not sure who originally perpetuates this narrow view, probably American pop-culture given Americas influential position in the world and their history with racism, but I feel is all is very hurtful and insensitive and prevents honest discussions from taking place. In addition, it also undermines attractive men of other ethnicities.
