[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Olive skin is a racist term. [/quote]

:roll: [/quote]

It is offensive for "white" people to describe other people as "olive" or "almond-eyed. "[/quote]

What??? Olive skinned people are white. Olive skin is a trait where white people tan nicely and don’t have pink undertones. Like Italians.

I’m pale but have olive undertones. No one would call me olive skinned though since I’m so pale. [/quote]

This. Also, I am a white person with almond shaped eyes. It is a compliment regardless of race -- they are my best feature.[/quote]

What an ignorant thing to say when, for centuries, women of Asian descent have been sold tools and techniques to “fix” their eyes to achieve a more hooded, rounded look. Go on YouTube and you’ll find tutorials to this day.

Honestly, the ignorance. [/quote]

Don't be indignant on our behalf.  Asian women don't need other's faux outrage and manufactured drama over a term for an eye shape.  We are not offended by the term.

Women everywhere in the world, from every culture, from the dawn of time, have been modifying their looks to appear like other people who don't look like them.  White women want to be darker so the spray tan, asian women want to be whiter so they bleach their skin.  Young women cover themselves in makeup and skin treatment to pass as older, old women use fillers and botox to pass as younger.  Curly hair people straighten, straight hair people curl.  Hair dye. Implants. Nose jobs. Lip fillers.  Eye jobs. Colored contact lenses.  Hair extensions to get straight Caucasian hair.  Hair extensions to get thick luscious Mediterranean hair.  Fashion trends.  Etc. Etc.

The entirety of women's beauty is one big cultural appropriation.  Every female culture and color participates in cultural appropriation through their beauty choices and fashion trends.

Stop with the fake outrage and manufactured drama.  This kind of nonsense had its moment when everyone was locked in their houses during covid going crazy from too much online.

That moment is over.

DP. And you do not get to speak on behalf of those of us, our mothers, grandmothers and greatgrandmothers, all Americans, who HAVE experienced this prejudice concerning their features. [/quote]
