I’m going to ask this question trying my hardest not to sound racist, or to offend anyone. On television I see a lot of Caucasian females (and some males) tan their skin, inject their lips, and get butt and breast implants. I’m guessing they are trying to look like another race. And people in Hollywood are acting as if this is something new. Black people have always had this look. And I see the exact same thing with my own race. Like colored contacts?!?!? Colored hair, and long weaves. I saw this lady who was black she had long blonde hair (weave) and blue eyes. (contacts) Why? Why do we aspire to be like our counterparts? I have worn weaves before, and I have gotten relaxers and perms. But I do regret it. I wish I loved myself enough to keep my natural curly beautiful hair. I’m not that mad about it now though I made to decision to grow it back out. I understand that some people may find other race’s attribute beautiful, but when you alternate yourself to make you look like something else, shows that you are not comfortable in you own skin. To morph yourself to the point that you’re orange! To buy a sh*tload of cosmetics just to make you look like someone you saw on TV! It just seems crazy to me. And I’m curious is how things got that way, and if anyone feels the same way I do?
