What??? Olive skinned people are white. Olive skin is a trait where white people tan nicely and don’t have pink undertones. Like Italians.

I’m pale but have olive undertones. No one would call me olive skinned though since I’m so pale.

This. Also, I am a white person with almond shaped eyes. It is a compliment regardless of race -- they are my best feature.

What an ignorant thing to say when, for centuries, women of Asian descent have been sold tools and techniques to “fix” their eyes to achieve a more hooded, rounded look. Go on YouTube and you’ll find tutorials to this day.

Honestly, the ignorance.

Don't be indignant on our behalf. Asian women don't need other's faux outrage and manufactured drama over a term for an eye shape. We are not offended by the term.

Women everywhere in the world, from every culture, from the dawn of time, have been modifying their looks to appear like other people who don't look like them. White women want to be darker so the spray tan, asian women want to be whiter so they bleach their skin. Young women cover themselves in makeup and skin treatment to pass as older, old women use fillers and botox to pass as younger. Curly hair people straighten, straight hair people curl. Hair dye. Implants. Nose jobs. Lip fillers. Eye jobs. Colored contact lenses. Hair extensions to get straight Caucasian hair. Hair extensions to get thick luscious Mediterranean hair. Fashion trends. Etc. Etc.

The entirety of women's beauty is one big cultural appropriation. Every female culture and color participates in cultural appropriation through their beauty choices and fashion trends.

Stop with the fake outrage and manufactured drama. This kind of nonsense had its moment when everyone was locked in their houses during covid going crazy from too much online.

That moment is over.

DP. And you do not get to speak on behalf of those of us, our mothers, grandmothers and greatgrandmothers, all Americans, who HAVE experienced this prejudice concerning their features.

You don't get to police how people discuss their own features.

I think strawberry blonde is common among the English?

The photo of a ginger-haired convention was priceless, lol.

Strawberry blonde is the rarest hair color in the world. Redheads are less than 2% of all people, and Strawberry Blondes are the rarest red.

Here's a paper that explains the genetics of hair color:

If they've been doing this for centuries, then it's not about trying to look white. A lot of the East Asian cultures were not really exposed to may westerners or their standards of beauty until the 20th century.

Also, the attempt to make their eyes "rounder" is about making it look bigger, not necessarily rounder. The fat on their hooded eyes make their eyes appear smaller, so the technique is to create a "crease" to give the allusion of making it look bigger.

For example, the aperture of my eyes (East Asian) is actually bigger than my white DH's. But, because I don't have the big crease and my eyes are not as sunk in, my eyes appear smaller than his.

Taylor Swift is an example of small eyes with a crease, but because her the crease is small, her eyes appear smaller. She had eye surgery to lift the fat from her eyes -- Blepharoplasty . It didn't make the aperture any bigger; it just made the illusion of her eyes being bigger. This is also what a well placed eyeliner can do.

What the heck is an undertone?

NP
Its color that comes through the skin. It can be difficult for someone with poor color eye sight to see it but people have greens, purples, reds, yellows and blues. Its easy for many artists to see because they have to layer those wild colors in to make skin look real versus flat beige and brown.

See the combos that make up a skin sample

DITCH. Not “dish”.

We will all wait while you enter the search term "dishwater" and see what words are suggested as adjunct to it, and then "ditchwater" and do the same. Report back.

They already made a fake search engine result. I suspect they have just crawled under their porch to die at this point.

FFS, didn’t any of you watch reruns of “I Love Lucy”?


And dishwater is gray. Ditchwater is sorta reddish because of red clay.


Y’all don’t do dishes OR get out much.

I don’t know why but I find it hilarious someone has been calling it the wrong term their entire life, and is now yelling at people for using the correct term.

Babe, it’s dishwater. You can google it.

I laughed out loud.

Especially the “sooooooooooooooo”

DP.

I’ve never heard of EITHER dishwater or ditchwater blonde.

I think y’all are arguing about some nonsense local slang.

NP. Nope. Dishwater blonde is a common term used throughout the US *and* other English-speaking countries. It's been around a long time. It's in the dictionary.

Never heard of "ditchwater blonde" and seriously doubt it's a thing. The water in ditches will vary in color depending on where you are, so it doesn't make sense as a descriptor -- could be reddish, muddy brown, black, etc.. Whereas "dishwater" is immediately evocative of the kind of grayish color someone is referring to with dishwater blonde.

OMG it’s in the DiCtIoNaRY?!?!

The statement stands. I’ve never heard this term in my life and I have lived in various places in the Eastern US and Canada.

Dirty blonde, that’s a term that I’ve heard frequently.

Just because you’ve never heard it doesn’t mean anything. You also don’t have much familiarity with blond hair if you’re unfamiliar with the various terms used to describe it.

Unbolded statement is accurate. Bolded statement is completely illogical.

Are you slow? It’s a color that has many hues and terms to describe such. Is all blue the same to you? You’re just clueless and doubling down.

Speaking of slow and clueless… Understanding different hues exist is not the same as being familiar with every backwoods terms every person in the world uses to describe said hues.

Good. you now admit you were just unfamiliar. Could have said that awhile back and spared yourself.

Now admit you were just unfamiliar with the term ditchwater blonde and you’ll finally get the point.

What do you consider:
A) Dishwater Blond/Blonde
B) Strawberry Blond/Blonde
C) Olive skin

Was younger curly haired Taylor Swift a strawberry blonde? Is George Clooney olive skinned? Who is dishwater blond/blonde?

I have never ever heard the term "dishwater blonde" it is not a thing

Yes it is. Look it up.

Maybe in a trailer park but in elevated social circles NOONE uses that term. Period.
