Yes, it's incredible how much people's taste in the looks department can vary.
This is even more so between punter ethnicities. Asian values of beauty are very different from Western, especially when it comes to "appraising" an Asian girl. For example, a Western dude with yellow fever might find Lucy Liu attractive, but most Asian bros wouldn't even give her a second look.
Lately the K-pop movement has normalised the situation a little bit, but my mind still works the same. When I read a bro saying "this girl is pretty", first thing I'll check is what's his race? If he's a Western dude, it is highly likely that his "beauty" is not going to be the same as my "beauty".
