Just randomly came across this, while looking at a completely unrelated topic:Men, women & the secrets of skin colour
The fair maiden of myth appears to have a basis in scientific reality, according to new research covered in today's Independent on Sunday.
Scientists looking into attractiveness in men and women suggest that men of all races are subconsciously attracted to fairer-skinned women, while women are more drawn to dark-complexioned men.
The researchers, whose study shows that across different races, lighter-skinned women are seen as the ideal, say the attraction is driven by preferences based on moral assumptions.
Men are subconsciously attracted to fairer skin because of its association with innocence, purity, modesty, virginity, vulnerability and goodness, according to researchers at the University of Toronto.
Women are attracted to men with darker complexions because these are associated with sex, virility, mystery, villainy and danger.

To me it just described the whole bl**d c***t legal system, any comments?
