Here's what I've come to notice recently: dark-skinned people living either in the southern hemisphere or in latitudes where white-skinned people are not a common found seem to be obsessed with "tweaking" their appearance in order to look more Western i.e. white. You see black African women and Indian women spending money on bleaching cremes that in the long run damage their skin. You also have Hispanic people dying their hair blond, wearing contact lenses in order to have a clearer eye colour. I also read about East-Asian women undergoing jaw-surgery for the sake of having less square-like, more angular faces. They will also modify their noses and eyelids, just so that they can look more European.
Now, I am truly against racism. What I don't understand is, why do non-white people show their self-hatred in such a blatant, explicit way? Sure, they have been bombarded with pro-white ads, movies and the like for years, meaning that they've internalized the Western standard of beauty (blond, blue-eyed, white). But do they have to be so ambivalent about it, that they request white people to stop judging them or viewing them as inferior beings while at the same time, they continue to suffer under a distorted perception that leads them to dislike their own appearance?
Just asking.
