It's important to bear in mind context. It seems you're very influenced by western media. You're only talking about 'beauty standards' in the UK and other areas where there are Europeans. But only 10% of the world population are European (or 'white' as you say). 60% of the world population are from Asian countries, 20% are from African countries and the remaining 20% are from European, North & South American and Oceanic countries combined. So beauty standards are dependent on where you are and who the people are there. Only 2% of the world's people are blonde haired, so this is rare. It's not the beauty standard in most places.
Yes, I absolutely agree. There are many different standards based on where you are in the world. Since we live in the UK, we can only speak to our own experiences. However, you are right! It is important to note the context and how the standards differ around the world.
These young ladies need to be in the United States! It's better here in terms of culture, and race. August 13, 2024, USA
