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. Why did society drag Rachel Dolezal?? This is a genuine question not being facetious buy bionic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dex 117 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Honestly I feel sorry for her. She (lied about the fact that she) left Little Mix for her mental health She did a documentary on internet trolling Now she's released her debut single she's getting dragged to hell for sporting a particular look, even though it looks great and she enjoys it?! Everybody's willing to criticise but nobody wants to offer a solution. This industry is going to destroy her. I'm praying for you, Jesy. You made some mistakes but don't let them kill you.

Both are white girls utilizing R&B music and heavily altering their appearances with tans, lip injections, etc. I see no reason we should accept it from AG and not from Jesy. Can someone explain to me what is different here? Is there a difference? I’m not defending Ariana cause she’s obviously been known for over tanning but she went back to her normal skin color recently 7 hours ago, Pennywise said: It's always interesting how people... turn out to be POC when they start losing arguments in which they sound racist, and that's all I will say on this I guess Don’t be shy bestie tag them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Italians considered white despite generally have more tan skin, darker hair, darker eyes and different features from for instance Scandinavians? The obsession with race in the US makes me cringe sometimes So you’re almost there lol race is a made up construct but it’s a made up construct that has been implemented globally to hoard certain powers in the hands of certain people. To call it an obsession with race in the US is a *dramatic* and frankly demeaning misunderstanding of the horrors racism has wrought on so many people in the world. the fact that you’re able to point out how bizarrely arbitrary it is is good. It’s not founded on anything particularly genetic. For instance, like you said, tan skin. Or the “monolid” that people say Asian people have. Plenty of people from Asia dont have that lid type. Plenty of white people do. It’s arbitrary. However, who is associated with it in a demeaning way to diminish their worth? Asian people. So racism is not so much a biological trait as it is a social system of organizing people and power. In the case of people “appropriating” a culture, it’s an issue for so many because it is often former colonial powers reaping the cultural fruits of one formerly subjugated group for the first group’s gain. There’s no respect given and it’s seen as another situation of taking and taking with no respect given to the group something is being taken from. It’s “so you want to exploit me and my culture for your own status but you won’t support me.” In the US, it’s not an obsession with race. That’s a deeply condescending attitude to take to the cultural trauma that exists from hundreds of years of deeply embedded institutional slavery and racism. Frankly, not many other western countries have a comparable situation to compare it to as they’re either older and thus have more history to build a legacy from or did not have slavery as embedded in both the domestic and international economy as the US. Slavery and racism existed the world over and still do, but very few places had quite the system that the US did (and does) and what you see here now is response to that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
