[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re insecure OP. I’m a short Asian American woman and it’s ridiculous to me that you don’t feel like your looks are represented still. [/quote]

I think people who get fixated on stuff like this are usually not responding to the actual cultural zeitgeist (which I agree hasn't preferred the icy blue-eyed, blonde look over others for decades) but to something more personal. I had a friend in college who was always complaining about how "everyone" at our school was blonde and thin and tall and it made her feel unattractive. She was thin, gorgeous, and had dark hair and huge and beautiful brown eyes, and I was always confused by her complaints because our school was very diverse and while there were tall thin blondes, they definitely didn't dominate the school or even the sororities.

Turns out her mom was blonde but she'd inherited her dad's coloring and had always felt weird about it. She wanted to look like her mom. When she went places, her eyes would be drawn to the blonde women and she simply would not see other people, thus giving her the impression that "everyone" looked that way. It was 100% her issue and didn't really have anything to do with what other people thought our preferred. Guys drooled over her wherever she went and she still had this idea that if only she was taller and blonder, her life would be better.

It was sad.[/quote]
