The double standard of cosmetic surgery

Often, when a person of color has cosmetic surgery particularly when they are altering their features to have more of a Caucasian look, people judge that person and say they must hate their race or want to be white. However when a white or Caucasian person has a similar surgery to make their physical features more "exotic" or of another ethnicity, nothing is said and no one thinks of them as being embarrassed of their race. This video just looks at the degree white plastic surgery patients go to have more of an ethnic look with none of the backlash that comes with changing their features.

totally agree with you.although a few white people have thick hair,it is not a common trait in caucasians.there is definately a double standard.....also i think tyra herself had a nose job.

good vid, but I think it basically comes down to one thing

People always want what they don't have.

Thats why we want things, because we see things in other people and we start to become dissatisfied with what we do have, people forget that theres always someone looking at you, wanting something YOU have that they don't.

Solution? - Just be happy, look at yourself and accept and see yourself for what you really are, a friggin gorgeous human being =)

yeah we are all a bunch of clowns in society! no one wants what they have! blacks are changing their features to look like the standard, and whites darken their skin, plump their lips put on breast and but in plants as well as adding hair! but that’s just fashion!... we need to learn their meaning of conformity!

Yes I agree with you.

I believe that we like/envy what we are not.

There are beautiful Black/Asian/White Features.

We ALL know this deep down.

@Bracerjack white people try to darken their skin, beca they think it makes them look more attractive, i personaly like darker skin or light brown, it has a nice glow, but what i am saying is that the majority of white people will tell you that they like who they are when, in fact that is not 100% true, because why would they be going to tanning salons and laying out in the sun using tanning creams, getting bigger breast, bigger butts, its obvious that they are trying to get black features

You seem to generalize that all white women have thin lips, no ass, and thin hair and want to look black?? I've heard this till I am sick to my stomach. Plenty of white women have naturally curly hair, thick lips, and nice apple butts. These features they desire are already within their race! Marilyn Monroe set the standard a long time ago. 36-24-36

You are right...I find your video makes a lot of sense....

It's really interesting, now that you talk about it....

That the media focus on how everyone is trying to be white but it's just not so...

I have to watch your video a second to get a sense of how balanced your opinion are,
