Does that maybe mean that in your culture there's a larger problem of white girls appropriating black features to appear mixed and you're just failing to acknowledge it? Hi meet the ganguro girl.

Literally all over europe people are darker than she is with tan alone lmao Are you feigning ignorance or is it really that hard for you to understand? It's not just a tan. It's the tan, the lips, the curly hair, dreadlocks, the whole "hood" thing in the Boyz video. People wouldn't make a fuss about someone being tan but it's the overall package that clearly indicates what Jesy or her team was aiming at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally had to google yesterday if she is white after reading all the comments here. What is white though? As a European this confuses me so much? Are Italians considered white despite generally have more tan skin, darker hair, darker eyes and different features from for instance Scandinavians?

Everyone has swollen lips nowadays because of fillers being a beauty fad that wont die, curly hair is something a lot of southern European people naturally have and also some "white" people. People are looking too much into this imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletubby 117,867 Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 Jesy was bullied since the start of X Factor 2011, people were always cruel to her, called her fat and ugly. X Factor bosses instead of helping and protecting her used this for the show maybe her fake tan, big hair, big lips are her coping mechanisms. it makes her feel pretty and she thinks that if she will change everything in her apparence people will like her. I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat And my love for @Juanlittlem dropped into the lining Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chic 20,830 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Nobody mentions that it’s pretty normal in every human society to want to look like something you’re not. Some women wanna look like men, some men wanna look like women. People want to look like celebrities, they get surgeries and mimic how they act. Some people of color want to look white, some white people want to look like people of color. Some Westerners want to look Asian and some Asian people want to look like Westeners. The intentions of these are often far less insidious than they seem and often revolve around the person’s dissatisfaction with being who they are.

The obsession with race in the US makes me cringe sometimes Mediterranean people are much darker yet considered white. The problem is people's depiction of white is just one thing. Even in art work through out the years people's depiction of white has changed. Venus used to be depicted as a darker Mediterranean woman and later she was changed to pale with blonde hair.

But I agree with your last statement. And it's not just limited to race. I'm not very good with Social Mediaᵀᴹ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
