      Also white; even though Europe and North America only have around 15% of the world population.

      (I would try to find a better estimate of population of “white” people, which is not even a well-defined group, in the world; but I cannot find it.)

    Average touched up photos of white people. Why does she have spaghetti O’s stain around her mouth?

      Because the average of totally spaghetti-o stained and not at all spaghetti-o stained is light spaghetti-o stained mouth corners

    I mean the grey background and bland expression may be skewing our perception. I wanna see these people in a meadow with a mouth open smile wearing colorful pastel clothing!

    On another note I’d love to see photoshop battles start up on Lemmy 😎

    People in the comment seems to not understand that it doesn’t mean average on the “scale of beauty/attractiveness”. But averaged features. Like if you merge all nose shapes of a million person you get this nose, ect.

    It was tested already several years ago that people tend to like faces made by merging a lot of faces together and “averaging” them. Most of the time rating them more attractive than the individual faces used.

    I don’t find the source anymore… I’ll check better later.

      It more likely means ‘like faces that were called average in the dataset’ rather than an actual average.
