[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reminds me of all the comments about how unattractive and not good enough for the male lead Simone Ashley is after Bridgerton s2 and pointing to his previous LI as a better fit. Hmm can’t qwhite put my finger on what the common denominator is. [/quote]

Seriously! It's almost like the dominant culture has white washed, I mean brainwashed everyone as to what beauty/handsomeness should look like.[/quote]

I mean - maybe the majority or posters are just white and people are predispositioned to find their own race more attractive. I don’t think that’s racist. We can’t control who we are attracted to, and I don’t think it’s racist for someone to say they don’t find a particular person attractive. Perhaps as a society we should focus less on constantly tearing apart women’s appearances in general.   [/quote]

Nope. I am not white and am certain it isn't about whiteness. There are plenty of really attractive women of all colors. This issue is that Ambika Bod's face is NOT symmetrical, which makes it hard to find her attractive. Scientists have studied what people in all cultures find attractive and facial symmetry is important. She also does not have clear skin. Maybe British people don't notice as much but to any American her teeth are crooked and not the same size. There are so many good looking British Indians so really it has nothing to race. Then add to that she also doesn't have an interesting or magnetic personality like Tilly does.

It was hard to suspend disbelief when she is working in the restaurant and looks like she would be smelling of food when he comes in to visit with her ugly uniform that he would really be interested in hanging out with her. It does get better later when he is less successful and she becomes more successful but then I hated the ending. Totally unnecessary.

The only thing I can say I really enjoyed is the soundtrack. It is soooo good! That's why I kept watching. [/quote]
