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

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

Wait what? She is beautiful!

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.

7 pages of thinly veiled self-congratulatory shitposting would suggest otherwise. Sorry for calling you out on your bullshit.

Do Asians also get surgery on their eyes to make them wider and have eyelids b/c they don't want to look whiter?

It's OK to be you, I am sure you are lovely.

Do white people who get nose reduction surgery want to look more asian?

NP. I think that female "beauty"--defined by quantifiable things that can be found across cultures, like symmetrical faces, clear skin, and relatively large eyes--is normally distributed in each ethnic racial group. In other words, for example if ~15% of Swedish woman are considered in their culture to be beautiful, then I'd imagine ~15% of say, Pakistani woman are also considered beautiful. Now, we may all have *preferences* for the look of one group over another, but that's something different.

I was looking for something else and came across this article--thought it was relevant to this thread. I liked looking at woman from all over, including some ethnic groups we're not too familiar with here in the US:

"This project called "The Ethnic Origins of Beauty" is striving to document different types of female beauty in cultures and ethnicities around the world. It's non-profit and the creator of the project, Natalia Ivanova, traveled to 15 countries and 4 continents to document the beauty of women in 50 ethnic groups. She took around 90 videos and photos. Take a look at this incredible project."

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.

This.... even normal white women can't measure up to celebrities.

DP.. half the Korean population already have that double eyelid naturally. I don't know about other ethnicities.

-signed a korean without the double eyelid, but whose sister does have it naturally, and so do many of my cousins.

Every race has appealing and beautiful features. When the best is taken from several races thats what is most beautiful in my opinion. The most beautiful women that I've seen are always exotic and most of the time multi-racial.

This is the most beautiful face. There is science on proportions so you can't argue with science

Imperialism and economic dominance of white countries and cultures for centuries. Who dominates the history and the money, dominates everything. How is there seven pages on this?
And to add, white women age so much worse and faster than any other ethnic group. Yes, not race, race doesn't exist apart from a social fake construct. And the hypocrisy of searching for "exotic" beauties that can be of any "color" as long as their features resemble a face of a white woman considered beautiful, but you could also compared that same white model's face to a horse's face.
