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? icon_wink.gif

real asians r ugly before plastic surgery or makeup
so they dont look exotic to other asians
asians like the fake cute asians with circle lenses and their faces covered with 6 layers of m.a.c foundation
have you seen snsd and akb48 pictures before they got famous? bawling.gif oh the horror
americans arent use to those real asian features so it looks exotic/sexy to us
but to ppl who are use to seeing asians everyday its ugly
