another point -- correlation != causation. Just because pretty people tend to get it easier does not mean that being pretty is what causes them to get it easier. Perhaps it is some other factor that causes both the prettiness and the ability to get preferential treatment. This is very likely if you think about it, because attractiveness is for most people not a matter of luck or genetics but something that people actively put work into achieving.
