I always cringe when a non-White person says I have a cute baby (well, she's three now, and she prefers to be referred to as a toddler). I think, she's cute by society's standard's partly because she is white. But I know my cringing is baseless and just latent white guilt.

As I said in the original post, I was informed of this from someone else (on twitter, if you must know).

No doubt while you typed this, having ignored what I wrote earlier in response to Scott's lame pseudo-contrarian trollgasm, you thought to yourself 'hur hur hur Gully is teh pedo hurr hurr hurr I'll show him' and somehow forgot along the way that concept of content. Now perhaps you might want to wish to discuss the issue at hand or perhaps you want to oh-so-clever and produce nothing of substance, interest or value. That's up to you. But don't pretend that this post is as clever, as ironic or as amusing you think it is. Because, seriously, it's not.

The majority of people responding this really seem to be missing the point.

IT PAINS ME THAT IN THE 21ST CENTURY A BLACK AMERICAN CAN GOOGLE "CUTE BABY" AND BE CONFRONTED WITH PAGE AFTER PAGE OF LIGHT-SKINNED, BLUE EYED, EUROPEAN-AMERICAN WHITE BABIES! THERE ARE A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL BLACK BABIES OUT THERE WITH COCOA SKIN AND THICK BLACK, AFRICAN HAIR AND BROWN EYES! WHERE ARE THEY? THERE ARE A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL ASIAN BABIES OUT THERE! WHERE ARE THEY? THERE ARE A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL HISPANIC BABIES OUT THERE! WHERE ARE THEY? I AM CALLING ON GOOGLE TO RECTIFY THIS INJUSTICE AT ONCE!

Read the above paragraph in your head in Jesse Jackson's voice for full effect.

Google searches should be regulated with Affirmative Action policies. Obviously.

Jesus.  Lighten up.  I think we all knew what you were getting at when we looked at the link, but it's not exactly the most pressing issue when it comes to race relations.  That's not to say the lack of diversity isn't surprising, of course.

Except, you know, it's failure at, like, humour or intelligence. But apart from that I'm completely frigid and need to 'lighten up'.

Also, when did I say it was a pressing issue? I thought it was merely amusing. Although perhaps "   Most/Least attractive politicians in your country?" or "Opinion of John Tyler" is more pressing to list just two other threads on this board, neither of which I believe have been criticized for their lack of 'pressingness'.

In order to identify the precise cause of this, we'd probably have to look into Google's search algorithm, but short of that, I'd guess that a likely cause of this is that whites (as well as some groups of Asians and Hispanics) find light-skinned babies more aesthetically pleasing than dark-skinned babies, as a result of the former category of baby possessing features that are more familiar to the aforementioned groups. Groups which consider light-skinned babies to be cuter than dark-skinned ones are more likely to search for/post pictures of babies they consider to be cute on the internet.

But anyway, FF, as I myself consider those babies to be cute.

Stock photo sites predominate in this result.  If the results came from blog posts, forums or other personal/community websites I'm sure we'd see a different result.
