Why do some waste their time determining "which country has the most beautiful people"?

I mean, don’t all countries have their “beautiful people?”
Would you think people from other ethnic backgrounds be offended if they were told, “hey…did you know Korea has the most gorgeous women?”
This for example:

Do you think that could impact a woman’s self esteem if they were sensitive enough? What do you think that site is trying to tell people?
I know looks should be the last thing you should be worrying about, but I just need a few opinions on this specific topic :)
