Some might consider it an ugly truth that attractive people are often more successful than those less blessed with their looks. But now our appearance is emerging in legal disputes as a new kind of discrimination, Daily Mail reported.

"Lookism," it is claimed, is the new racism, and should be banished from civilized societies.

Economist Daniel Hamermesh argues that ugliness is no different from race or a disability, and suggests unattractive people deserve legal protection.

歧視丑人是新種族主義

???????據英國《每日郵報》消息，有些人可能覺得長得漂亮的人通常比長得丑的人成功是一個丑惡的現實。但相貌在法律糾紛中已經變成一種新的歧視。

???????“以貌取人”被認為是一種新的種族主義，在文明社會中應當被祛除。

???????經濟學家丹尼爾·哈默邁什稱，丑陋可以與種族不好或殘疾相提并論，長得丑的人應該得到法律的保護。

???????他說：“我的研究表明，長得好看的人掙得多，能找到高薪的配偶，甚至在抵押貸款方面得到的待遇都比別人好，而有些人天生就長得丑，但他們也改變不了這一現實。多數情況只能聽天由命。”
