Little known fact: Indians are actually already Aryan, Aryan is actually the term for the proto indo-europeans. Like the swastika, it was coopted by racists who didn't know what the hell they were talking about (like most racists).
Sorry, but I thought that Indian people were approximately divided into a northern and southern populations; the northern subpopulation tend to speak Indo-Aryan languages and are Aryan, whereas the southern subpopulation tend to speak Dravidian languages and are Australoids. Then, there are small subpopulations of Mongoloids and Negritos, the former speaking Tibeto-Burman languages and the latter speaking a unique linguistic isolate.
That's as far as I can remember regarding their ethnic demographics from my intensive course when I tried to learn enough Hindi to get by in India for a conference.
After some reflection, I can't claim to want to be an equal opportunist or that I'm down with people of every single culture. While I don't like any of my predominant ethnicities, and though I think most are utterly hideous, I can only find myself liking people of these ethnicities. (Of course, whether it could ever work out would depend on more than appearance; they would have to be Western-born and Western-raised and/or we would share similar Weltanschauungen.)

Haha, yes, India is not as much of a single country as people tend to believe. When people say Indian they are usually referring to the Hindi-speaking northern Indians (of which my wife is one), but each state in India is essentially it's own country culturally, with the northerners holding most of the power.
They're all unified under the power of Bollywood, however.
I've always found Chinese, Japanese, and Korean girls to be the cutest. My high school was pretty homogeneously white, but coming to college I find that I'm drawn mostly to the Chinese-American/International students (especially the ones who smile a lot )

Caucasian. That's it. I typically only find myself physically attracted to white girls. As a straight guy though I do reckon loads of men from other races can be pretty attractive in their own right.
No love for Russian/Norwegian/Scandinavian girls? Guess I'm a little biased, though.
Lots of love for them!
I'm just a fan of fair skin, eyes, and hair. No one pulls that off better than Scandinavian girls, in my opinion. Although I've met some of the most gorgeous women who fit this description that are from other ethnic backgrounds, Scandinavian/Russian/Norwegian girls seem to always pull it off the best.
TBH, this is one of the things I don't get. When someone says someone "looks Russian" or "looks Jewish". I think it's specific to particular ethnic groups you're familiar with. Like, if I say someone "looks Pawnee" or "looks Arapaho", you'd have no idea what I meant.
Now, as for which ethnic groups are more aesthetically pleasing, I have to go with Stan and Kyle on this one: I'm staying out of this one. (For all the reasons Jay13x mentioned in red.)

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Wife's European American, so yea I made the "white choice." I find some of the most attractive accents to be American South, Korean, Irish, and Iranian in that order. In terms of culture, I find a lot of them interesting so can't pick.

Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.
Individualities may form communities, but it is institutions alone that can create a nation.
Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.
Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle.
I'm fond of all kinds of looks, but the ethnic spectrum that really effects me is the voice. Irish and Australian women both have voices that just melt me
More Asian-looking with hints of Caucasian features.
I may be of a similar mind to you, at least in this respect.
Then again, I'm sort of biased.
I've never met an ugly or plain looking Asian/Caucasian people. They all look better than their plain Asian or Caucasian counterpart.
How do you systematically compare?
Though seriously, within each group, there's variation. We all know that we're working with generalisations, but I really don't know how any of this really makes much sense.

It is just personal preference.
The women that I've been most attracted to have always been a mix of Asian and Caucasian. I think that just makes me really biased.

Beg your pardon?

Phonology affects perception of physical appearance, intelligence, etc., but you're not really say too much about physical attractiveness itself.
And I think this has run its course. If you want to continue this discussion, continue it under a 'most generally physically attractive features' thread.

Really?
Any preference among more-white-looking, more-Asian-looking or as-white-looking-as-Asian-looking hapas?
While I think there are a lot of Eurasians (mixed Asian and Europeans) that are beautiful, some can be pretty plain or even ugly.
How superficial of me.

Northern Italians are also gorgeous.
LOL

The recent Miss World Megan Young is half American and half Filipino.
Chloe Bennet of SHIELD fame is likewise half American and half Chinese.
Absolutely stunning women.

It's fine.

Amen to that!

I only made an observation or comment. It really needed nothing more to it, and that it's personal preference is pretty clear.
I am Asian/Caucasian. I like Asian/Caucasians. Because I am Asian/Caucasian, I like Asian/Caucasians. Because of this, I am biased.
Your thing is only a preference!
I think this is an attempt at humor. White choice almost sounds like right choice.
Funny to think there may be eastern European women that are darker than the US's 'Black' president.
