Hey boys and girls, I'm new on here! Here's an issue I've been increasingly noticing..
Ok, so years of living in a Western country have led me to believe that there are two standards of Asian beauty: one for Asians, one for some Westerners (especially ones who are "into" the Asian look). Is the Westerner's brainwashing solely down to the media (with celebs like Lucy Liu), or they just simply have a fetish for the "common" Asian look? But do you believe this phenomea is real? Why do you think this is?
