This lie that European features and white people in general are innately more attractive and that Africans are unattractive innately is a colonial lie. Though in many countries like China, Korea and the the Middle East black people are despised to the higher order these opinions were not always there
THE ARABS
1 these are what the Arabs thought about Europeans
Geographer and philologist al-Bakri (d 1094 CE) says of the Galatians:
Official and Historian Usamah Ibn Munqidh described Crusaders in the Holy Land:
2. African men were regularly remarked for their beauty and attractive and they were respected
Native American source on African
The Ethiopians," wrote Herodotos, "are said to be the tallest and best-looking people in the world." (In ancient Roman/Greek writings, the term "Ethiopian" is loosely used to refer to all black Africans)
Greek writer Diodoros wrote of the Ethiopians: "their piety has been published abroad among all men, and it is generally held that the sacrifices practised among the Ethiopians are those which are the most pleasing to heaven." 20
THE ASIANS
believe it or not blond hair and blue eyes in China was considered unattractive and normal European features was considered ugly
4. and south Asians
Marco Polo reports on the Dravidians of South India:
Though opinions of blacks are low in the new generation it’s getting better and overall with the positive views of Blacks in the media this stigma and hatred of blacks is changing
So no the world does not hate black people, though there still a lot of progress to be made jbw will soon end and people will go back to preferring their own people and stop hating themselves. Hatred of blacks and preferring white when your not white is not normal

Official and Historian Usamah Ibn Munqidh described Crusaders in the Holy Land:
I am of the opinion that the gap in black/white status in Arab opinion has been magnified by modern Western influence on Arab world views. Medieval Arabs, unlike slavery-era Euro-Americans, often accepted the children they had with black slaves as their own heirs. A famous example is Al-Mustansir, the 18th Imam-Caliph of the Fatimid dynasty. His father was the previous Caliph and his mother was a Nubian concubine.7 And one of the most famous of Arab writers, Ibn Battuta, has repeatedly expressed favorable opinions of black Africans in his writings. He rates the women of Mali as being of "surpassing beauty".8 The medieval North African globetrotter traveled subSaharan Africa, Europe and Asia (as far as China) and never failed to record his observations of the women of various nations. This high praise for the beauty of West African women came from a man who has seen many races.

Old Chinese views on Caucasians:
By traditional Chinese opera conventions, a black face is considered nobler. Actors wear masks that denote the character's qualities. A pre-dominantly black face indicates courage, righteousness and incorruptibility. A pre-dominantly white face indicates craftiness, deceit and knavery. Ming Dynasty China records even state that Caucasians, in particular blonds, are physically unattractive:This distaste for blondes is a stark contrast to the worship of European standards of beauty so prevalent among modern Asians. Today's Chinese boast about their Caucasian sons-in-law or husbands. Instead of attributing the worship of whites, or the vilification of whites for that matter, to "natural" perceptions of racial hierarchy, it should be remembered that standards of beauty shift through time.
4. and south Asians
Marco Polo reports on the Dravidians of South India:
AS we can see here white was never universally seen as attractive and each race had their own preferences and mostly found their own race to be the mkay beautiful.
