i do think western (white) beauty standards worsened the whitening desire in modern asia tho. but yeah, it didnt originate from euro standards

Racism is a branch of classism and valuing pale skin as a sign of wealth is the beginning of it all

Wanting paler skin is a goal of a lot of different cultures for the same reason of "not wanting to look like a 'lowly' field worker"

Isn’t this a Standard that’s widely known in many culture without western influence? 🤨

interesting video. it always felt weird to classify the "skin whitening pandemic" as soley the fault of western society when their society is older_1

Thank for the explanation, I always thought it was weird to blame that on western influence when even just looking at old art shows it predates that

Both can be true. Both these ancient roots and modern day white supremacy are likely at work. Idk why people argue over this so much

Lol they do know that we get double eyelid surgery to look like other ASIANS with double eyelids right?

for those asking about the double eyelids, physiognomy is very important to us. especially during the ancient times. one’s face structure, and

Thank you!! I’m so tired of Americans assuming this is a race issue when it’s just a cultural and beauty standard.

On agriculture worker bias, same reason “redneck” is an insult in West as it implies the person was a field worker and getting sun damage

This doesn’t explain nose jobs, eyelid surgeries that is at the very least Western influenced. We need to accept the effects of colonialism

‘white’ skin in Chinese culture is about social class… white skin = not poor because not working outdoors

I hate when ppl say “double eyelid surgery was made by a white man to emulate white features!” …and its not being used that way now

China has always had a history of glorifying whiteness & western culture just made it worse Imo 😓

Not everything about becoming a yt person 😑 There are so many people of Chinese ancestry with the eyelid fold naturally ! Anddd extremely fair skin

Yes but do we think western influence has intensified or modified old prejudices?

it is so dumb how double eyelids are seen as a eurocentric feature when many asian ethnicities are literally known for having him.

Francesca Taphophili :
this makes WAY more sense. China has been wealthy and advanced for 1000nds of years, they've never needed Europe's approval for anything.

Nina :
europeans literally believed the same thing (being fair is beautiful) until the industrial revolution made the working class work inside

Serious question but do you think that exposure to more western media has increased or affected this beauty standard? (/srs)

When European just came to China in 1600 China regarded them as inferior barbarian being named "Red fur barbarian".
European named Chinese as"white"

mycoo :
what this proves is that this isn’t an instance of western beauty standards, but a problematic sense of colorism that is common throughout many cultur

Colorism exists in so many ways by so many different cultures. None of it is exclusive to just one.
