i actually read something on this before! it has to do with the fat distribution because of the climates people come from. people of European decent have more evenly spread fat because of harsher winters and falls and needing more insulation. People who descend from warmer climates like Africans and latinos distribute fat away from vital organs to keep them from overheating. Its evolutionary
@GGasks That's... wrong. East Asians have even more visceral fat than whites, which is literally the fat that "cooks you from the inside out". Of course, Asians famously have the flattest butts as well. They make white girls look like JLo.
Indians also are super predisposed to abdominal fat accumulation, so much so that there are hundreds of papers detailing their higher waist-to-hip-ratio compared to whites: academic.oup.com/ije/article/36/1/220/666373
Both of these people live at warmer climates than whites, and yet whites have the more "African" body fat distribution. Climate isn't the reason, it's just something unique to African people.
Genetics and possibly blood type. I have seen my fair share of curvy white women and not so curvy black women though. It depends on how you carry fat. Athletes tend to have very rectangular body shapes.
The three white girls on the pict are all fake body. Just saying. In all honesty, i think there are more curvy blacks than whites. Whenever I see a curvy white girl like that, specially from California, first thing that would pop up in my mind is silicon lol
@J2ohhhhh Probs total bull but my nurse assumed my blood type was O based on my body shape. I don't know the credibility of that claim but it seems blood type can influence a lot of bodily factors.
Are you lean and lanky? In theory type O was the original, first type when people were traveling and scavenging. For covering long distances that would be the ideal built.
I didn't know that Africans were all that curvy. Maybe race isn't the reason. Maybe African-American Culture, has a particular diet/lifestyle that produces more curvy women. I think most here would say that African-American women are curvier than average.
Yes, many are very curvy. As a black woman who has a thin body I'm awe struck sometimes when I see the body of many black women. I usually attract White guys so I'm not complaining because im not usually attracted to black guys.
That is what the social media shows you and wants you to believe. Reality is! All humans are built the same and every ethnic race has curvy females. You have the inter net, all you have to do is! Search for curvy and after that write a specific ethnic. Like: curvy latinas curvy arab women curvy white women curvy indian women curvy Asian woemn... See your self.
I'm a guy and seeing a woman with curves amount to nothing to me because curves does'nt make a woman attractive if you know what I mean. Being around women like that made me realise how arrogant they are because they think they are expensive and men should worship them because of their fake plastic curves. Don't be deceived by what you see on instagram and others, either they are photoshopped, plastic (butt injection, liposuction or implants) or pose in a way to make their curves wider or butt look bigger. Many especially black men have fall victims to these gold diggers who are only after money and cheats a lot too. A girls group which were only black girls with curves and huge asses were girls who labeled themselves high and always seducing rich men with their fake curves. Their topics were all about money, fashion, cars, clubs, big dicks and a whole bunch of stupid shits. IF YOU SEE SOME OF THESE GIRLS WITH CURVES, RUN FAAAAAAAAST!!! 🏃🏃
Your comment wreaks of jealousy/envy. Trying to shame curvy black people bcos a few mostly in a war torn and famine areas can't get food to eat. FYI, curves is not fat. Curves are made from muscle mass which is well known to to be denser in blacks. These muscle mass accentuate the areas where a little fat gathers and it turns a person looking curvy and more beautiful.
Again, most black also store fat in our lower sides. ie the hips, butt etc till the tummy is the last resort. It all genetics and has nothing to do with starvation. Go sit down with your plastic ass and stop hating on blacks because of a gift God gave them. You care so much about those starving what have you also done to reach out to them and feed them?
Genetic, fat distribution, body type and not all black women are curvy. I am literally the only curvy one in my family and the only one with a defined hour glass shape. My two sister are more on the rectangular but one could still be labeled as curvy because she carries her fat in her bottom.
Uh... the top one isn't "curvy," she's fat. The term "curvy" is fucking stupid and no one should use it. It doesn't mean anything. The other two are okay? I guess? And because genetics are genetics. Who knows.
@LayLayT look it up. In the United States, black women have the highest rates of obesity compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Approximately 60% of black women are considered obese based on a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, and black women are 70% more likely to be obese as compared to Non-Hispanic white women. The disparities in obesity prevalence are linked to disproportionate rates of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among black women. Obesity has also been directly associated with 30-day mortality following a myocardial infarction , death from cardiovascular (CV) events, and all-cause mortality in black women
That’s interesting I will definitely look into this I tend to avoid looking into these things because I feel as though weight chart was not created for people of color especially the curvy ones. I’m 5’1 and my doctor told me my ideal weight for my height is 100-127lbs (I’m 24 years of age). I feel as though when determining someone’s “ideal” weight a lot more should go into then just height.
@LayLayT well generally speaking Obesity is a serious problem in America and unfortunately black women suffer from it disproportionately than any other group. I'm sure more white women suffer more alcoholism and smoking related cancer than black women. Most health problems in the US are caused by obesity or magnified by obesity. BMI is a general thing because it doesn't take in muscle, bone structure or breast or butt fat on women. A good way for you to know rather than calculating height with weight is to just go by the fat on your belly.
@LayLayT Yes that is a fact. I mean obesity is high among everyone in the United States for a variety of reasons, not least of which is a lack of exercise and personal responsibility to your own body, but of all gender/ethnic groups, black females on average are the fattest.
Because you can’t look in the mirror and say you have one. You don’t need to try and put down others. What do you have? Fear, hiding behind an anonymous screen. 😂😂
