So, I was discussing this with my dad, he says Spanish/Latina girls are generally the cutest/sexiest/hottest. I lean more towards Irish girls (it has become a running joke at my job). What about you guys?

As much as I'm against the OTT view that this card is going to solo tournaments, cure cancer and make Susan Boyle attractive I'm not really a fan of the opposing camp who think it slaughters puppies and sired Justin Bieber.
I dunno, I mostly just take individuals on their own basis, I never really considered races as whole like that. I can think of someone I find attractive for most races (and people of all races I don't find attractive).
Them Jewish birds sure are fine. Honorable mention goes to Japan.
EDIT:
Them dark features sure are nice. I do not know if it is because so many Jewish hail from eastern Europe or if it is just part of them but dark curly hair and a unibrow gets my blood boiling quicker than a kettle.

Please don't take me as saying I'm excluding other ethnicities from my pool of potential dates/partners Mikey. I'm merely saying that, in general, I find Irish girls to be pretty adorable, even though I've only ever dated one!

Be VERY careful what you post here. Do not disparage any particular race or ethnicity. This is NOT the place to air ethnic prejudices. Describe the features you like.
That said, being that my wife is Indian, I can honestly say I find Indian women (well, pretty much all desi women) attractive, although I'm attracted to women of all races and ethnicities. Mostly I'm just looking for cute and confident.
Objectively, though, I think the most attractive people are of mixed race. There have been several studies to this effect, but the blending of features works in their favor.

Is that why I'm so good looking? Just kidding, although I turned out not hideous
I always wondered if it is possible to get the worst features from both races? I'm half Chiniese and half British. So could I have potentially gotten the shorter height and smaller eyes with terrible teeth and sticky out ears?

Can you use the term 'desi'?
IMO, it not only sounds sort of strange, but it sounds inappropriate.
It would make sense to me if people would be mostly interested in their own ethnicity. It's the opposition of exoticism and your own kind.
Endogamy is, in no small part due to, assortative mating. So it is thought or what was taught in college.
Or something like that. It has been ages since I have had to care about this sort of thing, and that was simply an evolutionary perspective without ethological and behavioural considerations.
I don't believe that there's a 'most generally physically attractive ethnicity'. IMO, that's, without reservation, ridiculous.

Desi is basically just shorthand for the diaspora of South Asian people. Every desi I know around my age uses it or 'brown' to describe their ethnic group
Since the cultures are all very intertwined (everyone knows who Shahrukh Khan is, for instance), it doesn't make sense trying to identify them by specific country, and 'South Asian' is such a bland term that doesn't really distinguish between the pan-Indian cultures and the Southeast Asian cultures.

Is true, although most people will (in general terms) find their own race or ethnicity more attractive, with the exception of mixed races. There are a lot of theory on why that is, but here is a short article on the subject:
Basically it says that the blending of diverse genetic backgrounds creates 'healthier looking' people. I don't know how true that is, but it's certainly interest from a sociological perspective.
I think personality takes precidence over ethnicity for me, but I have found myself being attracted to black women. I'm sure the fact I'm dating one has something to do with that. As for men, I tend to gravitate more towards people of celtic origin. Dat Scottish accent.

If genetic diversity is a factor, that would definitely make sense.
Every ethnicity is attractive in its own way, beautiful is beautiful. I do really like the lighter skinned, green eyed Indo-European/Aryan Indian women, which are sometimes just gobsmackingly gorgeous.

But really, pretty is pretty.
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).
I'd have to say mixed people of any ethnicity are the most attractive. Mixed people (at least to me) tend to take the best characteristics of their forebears and the results are usually pretty nice.
Please don't take me as saying I'm excluding other ethnicities from my pool of potential dates/partners Mikey. I'm merely saying that, in general, I find Irish girls to be pretty adorable, even though I've only ever dated one!
Oh I know, sorry if it sounded like I was judging. I just don't really think of races in terms of general attractiveness. I'm attracted to different features which may or may not be typically prominent in some races more than others so I'm capable of finding people I'm attracted to in all races. But then I'm also attracted to a wide variety of features that really widens my net, so to speak, which is probably why I find this a difficult exercise. I could describe what I generally find attractive in each race, without a whole lot of prioritization on my part of which race I find more attractive than others.
TL;DR: I find a lot of traits attractive, so I generally look at the individual and not the group because all racial groups feature traits I consider desirable. I can't pick my favorite.

I'm aware that they are, however what I was alluding to was in reference to physical appearance rather than their ancestory as a whole, and there are differences based on arbitrary caste system and how much Indo-Aryan they have versus how Dravidian they look, with the Dravidian ancestory coming out as darker skin and darker eyes. Dravidians predated the Indo-Aryan "invasion" of India. The only reason I used those terms was because of the shade of skin in relation to the caste/individual.
That's why you have lower castes like Shudras or untouchables being more dark (Dravidian) and Brahmin and Kshatryas being lighter in appearance and often with greener eyes (Indo-Aryan.)
Honestly, I am glad that the caste system is beginning to crumble though.
I honestly don't know why I'm responding to this, I guess I just haven't told anyone else about it lol.
I find dark hair one of the most attractive qualities in a woman and I most of the women who I've had a crush on have had French features, so I guess I should marry a French woman.
Off topic, but I think this is because my family on my dad's side has a history of "corrupting"* European bloodlines. So I guess I have to marry a 100% French girl.
*Using this term as our little joke, I don't care about the alleged 'purity' of race or anything, this is just the term my dad and I use
