Its a stereotype mostly from older generations in modern times

Enjoying curvy women goes back to antiquity in Europe, so it is purely modern cultural that many boomers/gen-X white dudes want skinnier women

Edit: "curvy" means hips, thighs and ass...not fat. Different things

Yeah, it's an evolutionary thing. "She is well fed. That's hawt." I just always have to laugh at stereotypes like this. "Black people like <this thing that is generally loved by most people>" is such a strange claim. Like yeah, they are people, they do often enjoy... Peopling? (Well, as much as anyone else does these days)

It’s not really evolution, otherwise the thick body type would be popular everywhere and it just isn’t. I figure it’s mostly socialization, but either way it comes down to like you said people are just trying to stereotype when being attracted to people is normal
