Is that why white women tan so much and get lip injections for fuller lips and butt implants for a thicker rear and wear mascara to make their eyelashes darker?

Seems they're the ones trying to have more ethnic features....

Very few white women do this. Dream on, sister.

Now if you could figure out how to give white women the uttterly unwrinkled, unblemished skin that middle age black women have, I'd pay a LOT Of money for it.

And some middle aged black women probably wish they had the thinner figures that some middle aged white women have.

Sorry
. But the Black women I know are not looking to acquire a long back held up by chicken thighs, with two plastic almond joy mounds. To each his own.

Yeah, whatever. Like all black women have such amazing bodies. People who live in glass houses. . .

It's the Hollywood effect, pure and simple. The effect of media on people is pretty powerful.

I remember reading an article about how this one pacific island culture had zero eating disorders, lots of overweight people, but very happy. They became exposed to Hollywood and western media, and then all of a sudden, they started having eating disorders and diets.

Also, notice how Korean beauty is all the rage now. It's the Kpop affect. Lots of non Koreans are into Kpop and their dramas.

Andy why did someone bring back this old thread?

I agree with that idea. It's all about making you think you need to look like or need something else so that you try to go purse that thing. I just think that Western cultures have spent more time and have had more success telling other they are better for x,y,z reasons.

I'd rather everyone stop saying how x race has prettier women. That's all nonsense and frankly very childish. Beautiful women come from everywhere but everywhere also has really unsightly women. That's a fact. No can really say they've never seen a beautiful woman from other races, other than their own. If you haven't, then you need to get out more or you're in denial. Also, celebrities shouldn't be the standard on what you think is most beautiful. They have all been touched up in once way or another so why even bother using them as an example when you haven't even meet them in person.

I really loved SJP as Carrie Bradshaw, mainly because she did not fit the typical beauty standard.

What is a bikini bridge?

It was very cool to see an unattractive woman be a lead in a major tv show.

Are her eyes natural or contacts?

Icelandic people are well-known for being stunning. I probably don't have to explain this further.

I never fail to find it FUCKING HILARIOUS that people think Asians (East Asians as well as South Asians) want whiter skin because they want to look like "white women" (aka European descended). How pathetically self-involved and obliviously vain can white women get.

Pale skin has been a marker of affluence and female delicacy around the world for millennia. Indians don't want to have paler skin to look like white women, they want white skin because their beauty culture reveres it as being superior. Chinese people and Korean people don't want white skin so they can pass as white women, that shit's been around for millennia.

Seriously, get over it. White women don't have to apologize for every goddamn thing. Impossible beauty standards and unfair treatment of diversity is not on their shoulders. And it's certainly fucking hilarious to suggest that this is a trend that's been prevalent since the birth of Hollywood -- come the fuck on, that's not even a drop in the bucket of human existence.

Makes me fucking embarrassed for you guys.

Calm down Indian lady. No one cares.
