There are some awful looking guys, who nevertheless achieved quite a lot despite their lack of beauty. Naturally, some selection bias might be at play here ( as in -- you don't hear from the ones that did not make it about how they persevered and failed ). There is no doubt about the advantages. Beyond the already present research, I have my own little anecdote of a friend, who was not great with computers and yet is now IT manager at a major corporation. As for the white privilege, I can only say that I don't know. I come from a very white country.

I don't know what it is about humans that forces us to immediately label everything and self-segregate.
