What do you dislike about your race?

Started by Chrstna Barrett6 pages

Okay, but I'm not sure because I know there are tan Asians in the northwest of China and that they are considered most intelligent and Oriental. It's true that each country has certain people who are fairer and who are not moreso. Sometimes though the less-European looking ones are whiter, so it has to be both whiter and more European to match white people. I heard South China was the only ones that looked European.

EurasianNation has HK Chi people, which is what the man is. My mom is more like the girl in this picture and has that white look but tanned like a European. Sometimes her face does get tight but not much because her ancestors were Indonesian for so long, around 500 years. She's short because she was #1 in gymnastics in high school and grew up thin and taking ballet from the Dutch in Indonesia. She only practices the Asian culture here, having ornaments and going to the Chinese center for Tai Chi and sometimes getting Asian food. She doesn't have one of those looks that's like yellow looking. She's more gray looking when she flushes in a way and I used to see her skin lighter like that in ways more than mine. I don't know why my skin was not willed to be white and pink, but it was white. I got a little older and got a tan and some pink in my skin.

I always just wanted to look European and wished I'd have blonde hair because Europeans with black hair are hard to connect to often. I'm sure there are a nice variety out there though. I feel thankful not to look like this guy at EurasianNation.com who has no eyelid. The skin around his eyes to me shows muscle and intelligence, but he seemed to not put effort to look white and seems to feel smarter for it. I can tell though that these people go through feelings that people who don't look Asian are a certain way, but I never like it when I see someone who puts people down for blood.

caste system in India, dealing with people who are racially South Asian

This wanting an eyelid fold thing is quite bizarre. The desire for european looks is mostly a nonsensical product of colonization. Asian features are actualy extremelly popular in western nations, specially for women.

The aesthetic value traditionally placed in white skin for females in some societies comes from the fact that the elites didn't work under the sun and that women are naturally fairer on average than men across all populations. It has nothing to do with looking white or european.

NOTHING! we are vastly superior beings to you tiny human filth!

How most young Hispanics turn out when they migrate to the US and let the negative influence poison them and creating a disgrace upon the general image of the communities. Especially the Hispanics born here. -_-

There is so much more I can add about my own race, but i'll leave it at that. But just for the record, I don't hate any race.

I don't even think it carries over

while Indians might think light skined Indians are of higher caste, I don't think that extends to them thinking white people are superior

I don't hate my own race.

I dislike people who think we have small wangs though.

Right, I didnt say it does, I said it's been traditionally considered prettier for women for the association with higher social status and female fairness, not just in India either. Her post implied wanting to look european and I know wanting to have eyelid folds is a common trend in female asian youth cause westerners have them.

didn't mean to imply that you did, just trying to keep the conversation going.

it is an interesting point though... and come to think of it, do they apply it to Africans? I dont know a whole lot about race identity and stuff in South Asia, but do they also have a history of anti-black racism? is it related?

and this has more to do with colonialism than globalization?

Haven't heard of cultural predilections for female fairness in Africa - keep in mind I'm talking about fair and dark within the context of a population here, not predilection for white skin.

Well, once could make the claim that globalism is just more imperialism 😖hifty: but without going there, I became aware of this eyelid thing when I saw this tv show that adressed it, then I rmembered it when asian women in europe brought it up in some conersations and I got the impression that it went further back then the last 3 decades. IIRC older generations were also into the western eyelid crap and girl's mothers would teach them how to use make up to fake it. It could be fairly recent and more concentrated in asian descended populations in the west though. I'm not certain of where exactly it comes from. It's actually ironic because typical asian features are considered exotic and desirable by huge chunk of the population in the west.

However, those are not to ''be'' European. It isn't only Europeans that have eye folds.

That's beside the point, because around 50% of East Asians are born with folds while other 50% are not. It's all down to chance and somewhat genetics.

Prominent Chinese actor, Chen Kun -

He has ''European'' eyes, but he is no less Chinese.

My people look ridiculous without folds. Admit it.

Yes, double eyelids occur naturally among asians, so it might just be a prefrence for that particular and equally asian look, but the asian people I've talked to about it saw it as some kind of internalization of western standards in detriment of natural and uniquely asian looks, as the single eyelid is absent from non-asian populations. They were pretty angered at the use of cosmetics and surgery to turn the single eyelid into a double.

The white man butchered to death the indians and has screwed up this world,thats what I hate about my race.

That's all just a lie propagated by the white man to keep us down.

Oh yeah, killing the Indians was definitely the worst thing white people ever did.

killing 80 to 90% is pretty high up there as the worse genocide of a race if i ever heard of one.

being honest, that whole colonial, manifest destiny era doesn't look to good on us

I really hate that all American white people seem to have the reputation as heartless capitalists. And that we, as a whole, seem to have underminded all the other races to their extreme detriment. Of course there are people who have done so, and a lot of American white history is quite shameful. But it's just like putting a stereotype on another race or ethnicity.

Oh, and of course, all of us must be Republicans, because American whites want to continue to keep the majority down.

Makes me want to invent something that makes people think before they speak and think more before they act.
