While women in Asia and Africa might be getting eye jobs and lightening their skin to look “white,” CNN reports that in Migukland, women are increasingly striving for the “ethnic look”:
Women who desire a more “exotic” appearance are looking to the fashion world’s growing multi-culturalism for inspiration.
There was a time when the Caucasian girl-next-door looks of Christie Brinkley, Cindy Crawford and more recently Kate Moss dominated the fashion pages. Then came new fashion icons: Naomi Campbell, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce – and then Giselle, Kim Kardashian and Shakira.
More voluptuous figures, fuller lips and darker skin, features traditionally associated with women of African, Latin and Asian cultures, are “in.” Over the past decade, an appreciation for ethnic beauty has been on the rise, and these natural features are becoming popular among Caucasian women who desire to look more “exotic.”
CNN talks with Ronald Gavin and learns — sit down for this, ladies — that men like T&A:
Ronald Gavin, a 32-year-old single man from Tampa, Florida, agrees. “I mean let’s face it, ethnic women have this exotic appeal — it’s the curves and the fact that they don’t have this carbon-copy look like anyone else,” Gavin said. “That’s definitely sexy in my book.”
I wasn’t aware that white women have a carbon-copy look. Then again, as I’ve noted before, I’ve been in Korea long enough that white women look “exotic” now.
OK, now, as a fan of, ahem, the “ethnic look,” this is all fine and good, I suppose. I like Beyonce’s butt as much as the next guy… or Diane Kruger, for that matter. Still, I wonder if CNN would be so lighthearted in a story about Asian and black women trying to look “white.”

Most of these so called well-known Hollywood’s “exotic” women went through series of plastic surgeries and 12 hours a day gym work out, and also daily diet seems important where as average white gals dos little workout while eating more fatty foods and have very fair skin that will sun burn. Genetic only helps you 2%, rest of 98% depends on how much you invest on your body. I have also find wealthy women tends to look more attractive too.
Firstly, are physical features associated w/ “cultures”? Secondly, voluptuous figures in Asia? Certainly not East Asia. Must be South Asian and the ME.
It depends on your definition of Asia. Does “Asia” start from Turkey and end at Japan? I would like to know how this classic definition has somewhat changed and now “Asians” are defined as the peoples only found on the eastern end of the classic definition?
Anybody?
There was once when I thought Roseanne Barr turned Chinese (or East Asian for the p.c.) when she pulled back the skin of her face so far that she got *slitty eyes.* She must have been ahead of the times.

I wasn’t aware white women didn’t have curves either.
“average white gals dos little workout while eating more fatty foods” – Koreansentry
You mean average white gals in North America in the last 20 years. It’s not hardwired into the genes.
Why must humans have all the fun, huh?
Why not wholphins, ligers and zorses?

Seouldout, I’ve found there are more voluptuous figures in NE Asia than SE Asia, SE Asian gals are tiny.
Silver surfer, not just North America, includes all European and white settlement countries. As I said, both genetically and dietary, white gals are lot more heavier and fatter than any other gals from non-white genealogy.
First of all, white gals have very fair skin so they can’t get suntan (some may able to get it via artificial suntanning, but still unhealthy and risky due to high potential of skin cancer) and have lot more fatty tissue than Asian.
Secondly, diet is major problem for White gals in Europe, North America and Oceania, they consumed lot more meat, dairy, sugar products than Asian gals.
Thirdly, kids today consume very little veggies and fruits, less fiber while fast food, instant food, and GM foods have dramatically increased, and this sometimes take up more than 60% of total diet. Also less active, watching too much TV, Internet and very little exercise.
You add all these three problems, you becomes fat, lazy, less physically active, low at immune, smelly, immature, self-denial, selfish etc… simply means you becomes self hater. Which many of you already have become.
I guess it all comes down to that last “kernel” paragraph, huh. Very funny.
I should add that this is probably the first time I stopped scrolling to read it.
You are such a fucking tool.
KS – “Seouldout, I’ve found there are more voluptuous figures in NE Asia than SE Asia, SE Asian gals are tiny.”
Height has absolutely nothing to do with being voluptuous. Actually, the shorter one is, the greater the likelihood of a rounded, beefy look.
KS – “As I said, both genetically and dietary, white gals are lot more heavier and fatter than any other gals from non-white genealogy.”
Does “non-white” include Latin and African women also?
KS – “First of all, white gals have very fair skin so they can’t get suntan (some may able to get it via artificial suntanning, but still unhealthy and risky due to high potential of skin cancer) and have lot more fatty tissue than Asian.”
Are Italian, Spanish and Greek women included in your “white gals” grouping?
KS – “Thirdly, kids today consume very little veggies and fruits, less fiber while fast food, instant food, and GM foods have dramatically increased, and this sometimes take up more than 60% of total diet. Also less active, watching too much TV, Internet and very little exercise.”
This sounds mighty close to a description of the contemporary state of Korean children.
Finally, ask Darth Babaganoosh!
Koreansentry, the website and the asswipe who posts here under that moniker, are nothing more than Korea’s version of Chinese nationalist fenqing.
When there is already so much dog shit on the information highway, why are we being subject to this low-grade tripe here?
