You mean Jocelyn 'at her prime' before she started chasing the fountain of youth with Botox, fillers, surgery, etc that white women run towards as soon as they move past 25 years old and start looking haggard.

Yup, she's just living up to the "White Women-Global Standard of Beauty" MYTH.[/quote]

I think these generalizations are so ignorant and offensive.

I'm 51. I have never had plastic surgery and I stopped coloring my hair 14 years ago.  In fact, I used to color it for fun - not to every cover up the grays b/c I didn't have gray during that period of my life.

To say that all white women run toward the Botox after 25 is bigoted.  To say we look haggard as we age is also offensive, and I believe that statements like that are made by women who are resentful for whatever reason.

There are plenty of us white women walking around with laugh lines and strands of gray.  That doesn't mean we look unkempt and haggard, btw.  It means we embrace our age.

Sure. The generalizations that Asians ( East, South and Southeast) are subservient, only 'tiger parent', and let's not forget the point of this entire thread --wish they were white and obsessed with being white- because that's the "Global Standard of Beauty" is totally cool though.

You don't want to be generalized but this whole thread generalizes White women as monolithic Beauty Queens.

Typical White woman whining when she doesn't get her way.  :roll:
