text: is life in america easier if your a pretty white girl? before you bash the question, i just want to say that i'm not trying to be immature like some people are when asking things like this. i'm really just looking for sincere answers. not, "how dare you ask, people are people" or some empty statement like that.  i ask because from what i've observed living my whole life here, that pretty white girls seem to have an easier time overall. they're never lonely, they can always find a handsome boyfriend. there's always girls who want to be them so they hang out and be their friend. they usually have many strong friendships with other girls who look, sound, & act like them. they have strong support by other women, women of power. getting jobs is easy if their somewhat smart as well as beautiful. because of feminism, people seem to listen to most everything they say or have an issue about. they're beauty is all over the media which boosts their confidence dramatically. many seem more happier than men, & girls of minority groups.  thoughts? oh please, a girl just has to look at a guys penis to be called a whore.  regardless of color. men can sleep with hundreds of girls and be praised and respected, regardless of color. and last i checked men still get paid far more than a woman with the same qualifications in the work force. you have an extremely limited world view and experience. go live a little...your statements are begging for some sort of evidence or even explanation to back up your claims.  "getting jobs is easy if their somewhat smart as well as beautiful."  how does this translate into a an easy life?  you are foolish to think that all girls, white, black, whatever...are pleased to get a job  only because they are somewhat smart. you are foolish and frustrating, even if you are sincere in your question. sorry to be rude.   ***well, asker, quite frankly i took offense to your question and your following details which seem to prove that you do believe this misperception to be true.  at least i apologized.  and the point of my frustration toward your question is that you think it makes life easier to get a job based on beauty....how degrading. most of us go to school to get a degree in hopes that our qualifications only will be considered. if you want to be a pretty white girl who gets a job because she is beautiful, oh and can also spell her name,  just to be gawked at and not taken seriously...then by all means, be my guest.    i too have seen girls get jobs based on their beauty and then i have also seen how everyone talks behind their backs about how stupid and useless they are.  doesn't really sound easy to me...  furthermore, i have also seen pretty mexican, black, and asian girls get jobs b/c they were mexican, black, and asian. its called affirmative action.  i find it incredibly odd that you dont believe that women are paid less across the board, yet you do think that women get jobs because they are pretty and white. first of all, hiring women because they are beautiful while their qualifications are obviously disregarded, immediately puts her in a position to be ignored and shoved to the side because she was hired to look good and keep her mouth shut.  now do you honestly think that the man who hired her just to look at her is going to pay her the same amount as the men he hired with identical qualifications, if not less.    yes there is a progressive drive to decrease the gap and improve equality but it is far from over. im not arguing for women's rights, im just saying that every single statement you made was jaded, because you have no idea about anyone's life but your own.  although i do not feel the need to prove anything to you, especially since you obviously have access to the largest provider of knowledge known to man, you can take a look at this website for a little bit of info about the salary gap which happened to be compiled this year.  http://www.womenandequalityunit.gov.uk/pay/pay_facts.htm
