Why is it we often associate straight, thin noses, straight hair, thin lips and different eye colors as being white features?

Why is it as a society we often associate thin noses

Being born with different eye colours like hazel, red, blue etc

Straight hair

Thin lips

What i'm getting at is we often associate these features as being almost exclusively to white people even though they are present in other races as well.

For example:
This woman is straight up born within an African tribe and has these features.

And the fuck up thing about it is if you have enough of these features and are not white people either claim plastic surgery or you have white ancestry. Why do we capitalize on these traits exclusively to white people when other races have them as well?

Most of the time because it's true. Think of white people as mutated black people. Just as sometime a bird dinosaur was alive, then the groups divided into parrots and other birds etc. It all has to do with evolution.
Most white people live in Europe and russia, right? That's because at some time, either people from africa headed towards these lands, or monkeys within these lands evolved into white people.

These characteristics are typical to white people, but that doesn't mean no other race can have them (asian people tend to also have these features) even though it's less common.

Just as curves are a thing often seen as a 'black thing' and if a white woman is curvy they say she has the physique of a dark woman.

There's yet to be a "pure blood" black person born with naturally straight hair. That hirl right there doesn't seem like a "pure blood" black woman, even thiugh she has the typical physique for that certain race, the colour of her skin seems lighter than most.

Also those traits do not make someone attractive. And the absence of those traits doesn't make someone unattractive.

Western media has effectively brainwashed many of us to think that those features are white features, and white features are automatically attractive.

There are plenty of people of African descent with button noses that are cute, and I've seen some unatractive european people with long skinny noses. It's really about how well the features on your entire face fit as a whole

Stereotyping.

But most East Africans, North Africans, and some Central Africans have thin noses, normal - thin lips and usually have curly hair and can have straight/wavy hair. It's not because of mixing with non-Africans, it's because Africans are a diverse people. In fact, Africans are the most diverse ethnic group, according to researchers and scientists.

She is from Where sub sahara africa? Cause thats where black folks came from not north africa. And if you have been to subsahra africa then youd know people dont look like that girl unless they are mixed with white or arabic. I've been to ghana with my cousin who is half german half ghanian. People look black with black features.

[Asker]

yes sub sahara africa. There are tribes there where women have her features.

[somebodysaycheese]

Yea and you do know that their are people whom have had sex with europeans and arabs now or in the past. Just because her tribe has that features points to them mixing races. the fact that other indigenous tribes look black and have balck features. Notice Africans dont debate this because they know what their people look like its only ever American black people. Granted their are African countries who have Asian ancestors like Madagascar. Ethiopians are mixed race people have thin noses, oval shape faces and are more light. Races are vast just like the caucasion race is vast kim k, indians... etc is an example but most people dont consider them white. Doesn't matter we are one race and that is human.

[Cosytoasty]

I had this discussion the other day with someone actually. I believe they are certainly more prevalent in Caucasian people, however since we all essentially came from the same place - it's almost certain that features of one race find their way into another, although it becomes rare (Some Asians have naturally blue eyes for example)

[anonman32]

in Africa people evolved their nose to become bigger to remove heat from the body better without sweating. other people around the world did not evolve into this because they did not needed it.

[ShaeNielson]

Because they're typical for the race. Just because, lets say, a black woman shows fetaures that are typical for white women, doesn't mean they become less race typical for the white women. Like black women are often described as having big asses, lips and hips, while white women are often described as having flat asses and thin lips, yet lots of black women have little to no curves and lots of white women have lots of curves. It's just the majority falls within what's typical for the race. It's not fucked up, it's biology.

[menina]

I'm sorry, but I don't believe that this woman was born within an African tribe.

Anyways, people associate those traits to white people because it's more common to find a white person who has them.
And I also think that if someone has those features they do have white ancestry.

[BuchitaBuchys]

She may have a thin nose, colored eyes or whatever, but her lips are not thin lol at all.

I guess it's because it's more common in white people than it is for the rest of us. Do all blacks have afros? No. Do only black people have afros? No. But it's definitely a more common feature in them.

[kaylaS91]

Because the amount of people with the features you listed (coloured eyes, high nasal bridges) is significantly higher in white individuals. Not to say that they don't appear in black islanders or some from the Middle East, but that's a very small portion in comparison to how many within white people.

[Anonymous]

No, these features do not just belong to whites, they are found in many other races too, it is such rubbish i have seen the darkest of black people with thin noses, straighter hair and there was no traces of white in them, so true these features are not exclusive to whites only.

[ElissaDido]

I'm north African and my father has green eyes, my grandma is blonde and half of my uncles/aunts/cousins are blue or green eyed.
These traits are definitely not exclusively white but they are more common with white people.

[Berethor]

Because those things are naturally much more common among white people? and because many of the black women that has white features had plastic surgery?

[Anonymous]

Why do people think black women have the monopoly on nice big butts?

[Asker]

No one thinks that. Besides it's the Hispanics who do actually.

[Opinion Owner]

Are you kidding? Where have you hiding? Black girls get furious if a white woman has a big butt. I know I work with a black women... they tell me all the time I have a black girl booty. They say we are stealing one of their attributes.

[Asker]

Well i don't know what black women say but i've never heard any complaints from men or women i've worked with about white woman having a big butt. Also hispanic women using capitalize on having big asses.

[Opinion Owner]

You must not see on social media black girls doing that "look my ass" pose.

[BiscuitesSwag]

You have skipped some Biology classes, didn't you?

[Supersonic_Sex_Ninja]

Because they are white features, And you are trying to claim them for others like everything else.

[Anonymous]

white people have them

[Gommers]

Because they are?

[WhaChaChaKing]

I don't know why.
