    and says has done it again, made a video that touched on serious, important topics and managed to get the message across perfectly. representation (specifically in Malaysia) is a thing that's always annoyed me. when's the last time the Indian girl was the 'pretty' one in a TV show, or the where they were the lead in a movie, or an ad, or where the typical Indian man wasn't the 'dumb' one or the brunt of the joke? and true about everything else too. thanks for making this video, hopefully more people will get educated on these topics and minority groups will start getting the representation that they deserve!

      They don't believe that tanned skin peeps are asians either. People from the other side of the world would only assume northeasterns as asians

    When I watched this episode in light of the Covid 19 fiasco that we are having right now then I truly appreciate the pain that many thinking women are feeling against the media industry. I believe this whole Covid fiasco is a huge beat up by the media... and was amazed how powerful the media can be to make people think what the media wants people to think... I just didn't realise that they had done it as well to the female beauty industry already as previously I wasn't really directly impacted by it

    i appreciate a lot your tackling the subject of ads manipulative approach to what is beauty or not and especially as regards skin color.
    While visiting Kerala some past years, all women on big ads board panels were always fair-skin (Jewellery,garments advertisements ) while the majority of people in South India are dark skin even in North India people are substantially darker , which make me sick while touring the country to see only such type of ads . India is racist country and beauty = white skin. Bollywood and all the woodindustries always show the same things the villain acting by dark skin peoples..and observing by myself some dark skin women in the street I had the ill- feeling for some of them feel like being rejected in the misrepresentation of the society they live in and some of them resort to whitening cream for their skin which I felt sorry and sad.
    As a country with all the Hindi standard racist complex promoting the pale,sick North India type of people as canon of beauty appear in my opinion cultury missing point as regards the reality and a choice of bad taste for a civilisation. And for me on the contrary not a beauty canon at all.

    Super duper agree with her! And it causes how guys look at womens negatively. Always fantasies womens with unrealistic beauty wanting to change their partner's look etc. Sometimes if guys can secure their partners, then womens won't be obssesed with plastics, needles and knife. We also want to feel good in our own skin and flesh!

      People are too attached to their physical bodies. They don't work on their "inner self" more in terms of mentally and spiritually (not religion). When that happens they will only be limited to their five basic senses without the realisation that there's more than meets the eye than what they see, touch, taste, hear and smell.
      I recommend you to check out YT of Prince Ea, Infinite waters, Alan Watts and Eckhart Tolle. Have a wonderful life ahead.

    The beauty standard in malaysia is eurocentric (except for skin tone) but at the same time are influenced by northeastern beauty standard. Beauty standards in southeast asia are basically everything that we don't have;thin nose, big eyes, tall, fair skin, big lips, full eyebrows, thick hair,and curvy body, and to have cuty face - as we are inspired A LOT from hollywood, bollywood, kpop and jpop
