[quote=Anonymous]Do people really think the 'before' was ugly? That's so sad! I don't think she was ugly at all. If she was so inclined, I do think she could have achieved her 'after' with makeup contouring to her nose and eye tape; she didn't have to have surgery, with the risks that entails. I DO think it's racist. How is not clinging to a western beauty ideal when you are a different race NOT racist? I'm caucasian but when I worked in SE asia, we did a lot of programs that helped women to understand that beauty has a racial/cultural context and there isn't one face to beauty. We were trying to work against women lightening their skin, getting implant surgeries, nose and eye jobs, etc. My kids are multiethnic and it would make me sad if they westernized their appearances because people thought they were 'ugly'.[/quote]
