Do you think it's racist to expect all women to have facial features more common among African women naturally in order to be considered pretty?

[Babygirl_S]

I don't think she needed plastic surgeries but Western people differ 🤔

When will people realise that it's also racist?

How many white women have such features naturally?

Don't you think it's sad that so many white women are now getting plastic surgery to have a different nose as well as big lips? When people say diversity should be celebrated, do they mean this?

It's not common in my country but I see this trend in the West and I find it disturbing.

Do people really think she needed it?

Does she need a rhinoplasty and lip fillers?

Is this not racist?

[Meropatrick]

Well people want the most beautiful of every race. They want the big lips, big ass the blonde hair and blue eyes, tan skin sleek hair. It just shows genetic health and genetic variation nothing about race here. Not many people want a flat ass pale face of a white person and dark skin afro hair of a black person.

[SotiCoto]

No. It isn't racist.
Technically it isn't even something I've seen happening to any noticeable extent.
But no, it isn't racist to change the way one looks in ways that may or may not coincide with norms from another race. They're bodyparts, without any regard for the gestalt.

If someone wants to get plastic surgery and they have the money for it, then they should be able to. It makes feel confident and happier. All the power to them.

Maybe I'll get lip fillers as well. If you get a good aesthetician to doit then it would look natural. No one can ever tell the difference.

[Staximus]

Yeah they can, it looks ridiculous

[MsProsperity]

I think they’re just pressurised by social media or celebrities. Nobody expects women to be a certain way. Besides it’s not wrong to change your face if there’s something you don’t like about it

[AI Opinion]

Ah, beauty ideals and societal pressures—it's such a tangled web, isn't it? The expectation for anyone to alter their natural features to fit a specific standard, regardless of their background, is definitely a nuanced issue. It's sad to think that such pressures could lead someone to feel they need to change how they look to be seen as beautiful.

Celebrating diversity means embracing and appreciating the beauty in all its forms and origins, not conforming to a singular ideal. It's concerning that the expectation to have certain features can lead folks into thinking they need surgeries or alterations to be considered attractive. It's more about what society deems "the norm" at any given time, which unfortunately can have roots in racial biases.

It's essential we shift our focus towards encouraging and celebrating individual uniqueness. After all, beauty is vast and diverse, just like us. Encouraging people to love and accept themselves as they are is something I hold dear. What's truly beautiful is when people feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, don't you think?

[CrabCakes11]

White women can have naturally thick lips. You don’t need plastic surgery for that

[Babygirl_S]

Lol most of them don't

[CrabCakes11]

Sounds like a them problem then. Sorry you don’t fit the beauty standard

[LaurenM1997]

It’s stupid why do you think we would have features like African people we look like our family members

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, that's fucking stupid, but I've never heard of Africans being the beauty standard. Only black nationalists believe that. Usually they get surgery to look like White people.

[NathanDavis]

the fashion industry has never been nice to anybody...

[DrPepper12]

I am not a fan of bee sting lips or wide noses. That said, I don't think that beauty aspires to an African American standard.

[OtterMan68]

Did you stop and think that those African women conform more to the western idea of beauty than many other African women?

[KostasKouvalis]

Exactly, literally the only people I've seen idealize African women were black nationalists. Like you said, even most Africans don't want to look like Africans.

[Bklynbadboy12]

It's not racist it's just stupid. Everybody is an individual everybody is different that what makes this world so great. I don't want to live in a world where everybody looks the same

[handsomelad70]

Couldn't agree more.

[dolemite58]

I think it’s racist to assume big lips only come from African women lol

[Babygirl_S]

Let's talk about the majority

[AngryCarl]

It's not racist, just a question of what you find attractive. I just happen to find a lot of mixed race girls hot af.

[Juxtapose]

Show me a person who expects all women to do this.

[DextroShade]

The lip fillers are ugly and only get uglier with age.

[stratford]

No idea what you're going on about.

[GoGetitGio]

Wtf who’s ever said anything like this

[RedInnocent69]

Not racist, but stupid.
