I a white girl and I am 5'2, 98 lbs., so I am naturally very thin (I do eat), and I am 23. Yet it seems like with me, or anytime a black, white, or Hispanic girl is superskinny, it is because she is either on a diet or anorexic, that she is not naturally that thin, but when an Asian girl is as thin, it's like "oh, it's because she's Asian". I feel like because I don't meet the stereotype of white women's physique---of kind of curvy and perhaps tall--people ( I mean, men usually, and non-Asian girls) are bothered by that because they think since I'm white I'm "supposed" to be built a certain way. Do you think people think this way, do you think this way, or am I just misunderstanding and misjudging?
