Asian people have some sort of inferiority complex toward whites. It’s very widespread, and I think it’s hit me (and a lot of my asian friends) a little too, especially since I grew up in white America with the usually whitewash in the media. I’m somewhat confused about how it’s hit Asian people in their own soil so hard, but I think it could be attributed to two things. First, there’s always the ‘grass is greener’ phenomenon, or simply a feeling of exoticism. You get tired of your own people, and since you’re always seeing the best of the other people, your view of things are warped. Also people get sick of how they look and want to try something different. What could be more different from the black straight hair and relatively flat and round faces of asians than the angular, pointed features and blond hair of whites? So a whole lot of women go and dye their hair, thankfully most of the time to red/brown hues and not to blonde. I think most asian women look hideous with blonde hair, and they’re starting to figure it out. The second reason is probably longstanding history of European imperialism, both culture and political. Europeans were often viewed with contempt, but since their popular culture is so much more ‘modern’ and their movies and music are so much more developed, white media easily finds popularity in asian countries. People want to emulate what they see. I just want to remind you that don’t ever assume that your opinion is the opinion of everyone else. What you think is beautiful most likely differs from a vast number of people around you and in other parts of the world. There are universal standards of beauty, but nothing restricts the appreciation of the beauty of all races and peoples.
