Whether it's not being able to find a particular type makeup because they simply don't make your shade, looking out at a sea of white faces at a magazine rack, or getting into an argument about "Good Hair", white beauty standards are all around us. What's crazy is that if you fit the ideal you may not even notice how they affect people of color every day. Don't believe us? Watch the episode to find out.

All them Beckys with the good hair getting their feelings hurt and disliking...
wizkid2000 Ewww! Nobody is jealous of some flat butt, aging in dog years, limp dog haired, pasty face cave becky! We are just tired of the white supremacist bullshit media propaganda that pressures us to try to look like that, neanderthal.
Ivanna Beej if you really think I would allow such blatant racism and bigotry on my comment section, you are crazy... I had to report you because it was that disgusting, what you said... and wiz kid, OMG It's not about caring about what people think, it's about being treated unfairly and not being treated equally, that is what racism is all about. You must be an idiot...
All them Luna's salty that no one wants her black ass
I'm Mexican..... 😂
Luna Bennet I'm white so that means I see all you minorities as black since I'm white and we all are racist
I live in Mexico and yeah, there are mexicans of all shapes and skin colors, but in most ads they use pictures of either white people or really light skinned mexicans. Not to mention all the ads & media coming feom USA
And I've also seen it with families here that one of their children will make comments about how their sibling is more darked skinned as if it's something bad. People selling stuff on markets and such also call potential costumers (specially women) "blondie" because they consider it polite to call u that... it's weird.
+E MB Because Mexico's light-skinned minority are considered more attractive than the majority. It's just the way of things.
+TheRealJawnz "it's just the way of things" yea but not for no reason, it's because of colorism
Daniel Mendes Because they're a rarity and a sign of good blood.
There's only so much you can blame on whitey I'm afraid.
+TheRealJawnz wait they're attractive because "they're a rarity" that makes no sense. As the sign of good blood doesn't have anything to do with attractiveness. All this mental gymnastics to avoid talking about colorism smh
Daniel Mendes Because it's a made-up nonsense word that's not even recognized in academia in the united states, let alone the world.
If you're just gonna hide behind your little buzzword, then by all means.
if u don't get this video then do your research. There is a white/European beauty standard that's has been emboded in cultures all over the world. For example, a black persons hair was seen as unruly n unfit so a lot of slaves had their hair covered or cut off. Overtime this changed to people straightening their hair to become that beauty standard. Stuff like cornrows, kinky Afos, etc was seen as unruly, unfit n unprofessional. There's more to the story behind European/white beauty standards than what I just said. it's been emboded in our culture n u can see it everywhere.
My sister begs my parents to let her straighten her hair, because she hates her natural hair. They finally managed to compromise on cornrows and extensions, but it's worrying...
+raja abdul-badee Fuck off you raciest bitch
+raja abdul-badee but white girls are more pretty than you...
+JJ Cahill Aw. yeah I was like that as a child. I hated my curly hair. I learned to love my hair as it is. I hope she understands that what she has is beautiful n she's beautiful just the way she is
+raja abdul-badee not really, curly hair is disgusting
I'm here to see how many white ppl are raging in the comment section
Same.....it's always interesting.
Same. The greatest show for a beyond free world white dude
@Derek Lowe - same. gotta love those ungrateful motherfuckers
Im white, and as a educational answer to your question:
Yes i hate those who looks different than me.
(But hate is part of this divercity)
They are salty because white people are beautiful
I think this video explained the issue in the nicest way possible and yet some people in the comments still don't get it smh
This is 5 year ago wow this thing still hits different
We get it now, we get it now! It takes time! People do not always present it to us in the most understanding way!
@@jrutt2675
It's bullshit. We can't be equal in every way possible. White people and black people are NEVER going to be equally beautiful. It just doesn't work like that. Beauty isn't decided by society, it's decided by human nature.
Black people aren't ugly.
White people are just really good looking and make black people look "ugly" by comparison.
It's like comparing an average looking girl to a supermodel. The average looking girl isn't ugly, she just isn't as good looking as the supermodel.
There are writings and records from native peoples after their first encounters with white people. All of them talk about how beautiful white people are. One South American culture simply called white people "the beautiful people". Other native cultures believed white people to be gods or spirits. Women in Asian cultures bleach their skin, get double eye lid surgery, dye their hair and even wear colored contact lenses to look more white. Just look at how white the girls in K-pop groups look.
African Barbary pirates and slavers used to specifically target white women from Northern and Western Europe and sell them into slavery because African men wanted white women as wives and sex slaves because they thought that white women were more beautiful than African women.
See? Believing that white people are exceptionally attractive isn't something invented by a "racist society", it's literally ALWAYS been that way.
Not everything can be equal. Each race evolved to fit its environment, not to look as equally beautiful as other races. It just so happens that the environment that white people evolved to fit in resulted in them evolving exceptionally attactive traits (white skin, colored eyes, colored hair, narrow nose, wavy hair, etc).
There are many races on Earth so of course some races are going to be more aesthetically appealing than other races. Even within the white race, there are ethnic groups that are more attractive than other ethnic groups even though they're all white. For example, Slavic girls are particularly extremely beautiful.
I normally don't comment on these things. But are y'all do real. This is a video that was needed and I am sorry for those of you who were offended but it's true. Never once did they bash white girls nor did they ever say anything about it being wrong that you are white or did they blame. They blame the culture for their no acceptance of women of color being beautiful or that products should know that there is more colors in the world than a paler skin tone. I think what they did is beautiful, because they not only stood up for the culture but for their own unique individual beauty. Whether it was their hairs, their eyes, noses and skin tone. This is what our world needs to embrace everyone is beautiful and needs to start with us. Google what they Google and be upset that they don't show enough individual and unique looks! Look at the products sold today and be bothered. Wake up and notice that our culture is trying to put us all in a box and clone us and we need to fight it together!
+Lyndsey Battle exactly it's like people only point out what supports their argument like assuming that everyone is calling them racist when they haven't said the word once in the video.
Compton accepts colored women
This video spread nothing but misinformation and is essentially causing even more racism between the blacks and whites, this video is fucking cancer at a 15th stage and everyone in this video should go cut themselves ironically with their misinformation cause fuck their bullshit. Oh and btw before u come with some bullshit on how I'm white, nigga i'm dominican
No, they're being racist
+KIDCON26 no they are not.
"Clears throat"
-Omg why u sew rasict , u h8 whoite peoples-
=translates to=
"omg why arent i the center of attention anymore, i hate that you are fighting the "ideal" beauty standard it was always okay because i said so because its related to me and no one else and you taking about it shows light to my self consciousness"
Lol
+BetterThanJesus2 If blacks are like spoiled children constantly needing attention, whites are like children plotting to kill their younger siblings after being the only child for so long.
lol right.
+BetterThanJesus2 Kind of like the parents who disown their children for being gay or atheist. The kids are in the process of trying to find themselves and it goes against their parents' close minded views.
+HeirOfGlee But this video entire channel proves that we ARE the center of your attention. All you ever talk about is white people. You;re not white, just get over it and move on with your life. It's pathetic.
THIS IS SO FUCKING PERFECT
I googled images of beautiful women. The second one was Indian.
And the rest???😂😂
Actually, it's had to tell the race of some of them. I recognised the Indian as Aishwarya Rai, who seems to have light coloured eyes. But if you look at this list, there are 2 indians and a hispanic: listtribe.com/top-10-most-beautiful-women-in-the-world/
For though, Halle Berry has counted as one of the most beautiful women in the world. And others think so: (People, May 12, 2003)
rollingout.com/2013/04/25/worlds-most-beautiful-women/
+Mark Patterson considering halle berry still has light skin, that's just reiterates the point. Moreover, was it fair a mix or are most white? 😂
It was almost all white, that is for sure. Which is a shame.
But the again, most of the western world is white, so you would have to take that into account.
the amount of white supremacy in the comment section is abhorred.
No one said anything about racism,they spoke about the european standard of beauty that is worldwide,how is that racist?
+ben pettigrew ??
Seraphinix Seraphim The european standard of beauty...this is MTV you're talking about, it's a joke company. You do realize that there are non-white models, right? There are nude makeup versions for non-white skin, and they sell more of those than "white only makeup".
The lady in this video is a mental nutcase that seriously needs some help in her life, psychiatric mainly.
Because we are GODS!!!
You are a special one aren't ya?
Ok, I'll start the timer for when idiots come to your comment section and completely miss the point. ;)
look at the comment section now
it took about 8 minutes.
my question is why do people do this?
Clearly not very long
So what is the point?
hahaha you nailed it.
+theGreenGoblin The point of this entire series is "White people are racist, people of colour are oppressed and cannot be racist."
So I googled "きれいな女性" (which is Japanese for "beautiful woman") and color me shocked: it's all images of Japanese women. It's almost as if the search results are based on national majorities.
Naw, just ask Franchesca. She'll tell you it's all due to racism, then she'll explain how you are a racist for not knowing it.
Okay but English is literally taking over the world so
Enterprise: Profound non Hispanic white people make up 63% of the population in the States, leaving minorities at 37%. Check your facts before you go calling other people idiots.
Enterprise: Profound my data is from June of last year, you're still wrong. XD
Enterprise: Profound someone's triggered that they're wrong. XD
You can scream racism all you want when people don't find you attractive. That isn't going to make people find you attractive. If anything, it will make you look even less attractive.
You can't just cheat attractiveness by blaming your unattractiveness on racism.
You could, however, and this is my personal method, make up for lack of looks with a charming and likeable personality. Not that I'm very good at that either, but it works a lot better than screaming racism when people just don't find you attractive.
True. Franchesca is not a bad looking woman, but she makes herself uglier than sin when she opens her mouth and the racist sewage spews out.
Wow, you completely missed the point of this video. The whole point was just lost on you. God help you.
Ashley Nicole Then why don't you explain that point if there is a valid one?
No, we get the point (standard MTV race baiting). Cheers👍
Wow...you're ignorant and missed the point completely.
y'all hate hearing the truth so much
lol ikr
***** next time make your own comment instead of wasting my time in attempt to reading that :/
I don't mind the truth.
But these ladies are just spinning a web of bullshit.
They grabbed makeup & nylons that weren't their skin tone.
I could make a video where I grabbed a bunch of black girl makeup & nylons & complain about it if I wanted to.
But I'm not a whiner that trivializes real issues by bitching about every nit-picking little thing.
Fuck MTV & the rich old white Jews that own it.
daily reminder that if you don't like something ignore it? lmao
the big skub what do you mean by that?
Darker skinned people are trying to get lighter while white people are trying to get darker. I don't think white is the beauty standard right now, the beauty standard is something in between.
I see what you're saying it is in between which is why in today's society, most are infatuated with biracial women who the "in between color" its the color many dark skins that use skin whitening to look like and white that tan their skin aim to look like. But no white person that tans is trying to look like a dark skin I can tell you that. So dark skins are the ones that are most ridiculed and seen as "lower class" been that way since the Chaste system was created. Dont know what it is? Look it up. Its still like this today bt thankfully more darker skin black women are embracing their skin tone and more black women in general are accepting those features that were always seen as "unattractive".
No white is still the beauty standard because if a black person was to lighten their skin and white girl darken hers, the white girl would still be considerd more beautiful because she is white. Then her nose and lips will come into play. The thing about the white beauty standard is that its not so much about actual beauty, but just the result of colonisation
My opinion on this matter has evolved since I posted this. It's cliche but beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Every skin colour and feature can be beautiful. We should all just learn to be happy with what we've got because as long as you're healthy and happy with yourself, tons of people will find you attractive.
No its not ***** I was just studying about it and wrote a paper about it this past semester for class. African blacks were at the very bottom(not surprising), half black and natives were next, natives were next, lighter skin natives/spaniards were next, then the spaniards descent was up top (white). Nope very true still like this today so nope it was around the caribbean in DR, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guatamala and all the other hispanic countries/islands.
The whole purpose of mixing was to "better the race" to white spaniards and even many white american slave owners. The lighter was always better to them. Many of the mixed children also could pass as white and had better chances than dark skin fully black people. You can believe what you want but the "caste system" was not imaginary it was real and still affects a lot of blacks(whether AA, Caribbean and even darker shade women in Asia. And because of that caste system created by white europeans, it as adopted into many cultures like Asia, Caribbean, Central America, South America and lastly America. Even the media for years follows that caste system putting into young black minds that skin whitening will make them prettier and better off and wealthier cuz thats what it was all about and to make the white race seem like the superior race. THANK GOD many black women are embracing more of their dark skin and natural hair,
So if I go to Africa, I should expect their culture, their views and marketing to change for me, because I'm the minority and I need help, because I'm oppressed?
First of all Africa is a continent not a country. If you're going to treat the most diverse continent on the planet as a monolith you don't need to be in this discussion. Secondly, the difference is America is not a white country. Minorities make up 50% of the population and growing therefore they need to be accepted as the norm and not be disadvantaged in their own country. Hope that answers your ridiculous question!!
+sweetzs100 way to own that guy and put him back in his place lol he just got roasted
"most diverse continent on the planet " How many types of shit _are_ there?
+sweetzs100 White people are 63% of the country and every minority combined is only 37%, so your facts area little off there.
***** They count Hispanics, North Africans, and Middle Easterns/Arabs as white for some reason. When you take those groups out of the mix the numbers change significantly.
children in the bodies of adults.
Children having children, who have children of their own.
Explains why we have a society almost entirely of overgrown children, rather than competent adults.
Because it's so childish to think it's absurd that nonwhite people and features associated with us are considered inherently inferior. Also funny how that same sentiment usually comes from people who will throw a histrionic temper tantrum over a Buzzfeed video or Star Wars film.
ElectricMayhem87 (Ashleigh) its so funny how you live in a country where is predominantly white and expect them to cater to you. I bet you use all the cool technology and inventions made by white people but never complian about it. Move along because the majority of White, Asian, Hispanic, and Black can see through this MTV bullshit.
sry but most of asians do have small eyes, its not steriotype, its a fact XD
***** lol yes in my country dark skin is coinsidered beautiful, and i dont live in murica, btw i think u have issues, white apologist? u do realise that this "whites are evil" bs is going on for so long that i dont even giva a crap if someone calls me racist or anything, dont blame others for ur own insecurities. bye
If white people want a tan, to look more non white, it negates the entire premise behind so called white beauty standard. If non whites are trying to look more white, and white people are trying to look more non white, then clearly the beauty standard is somewhere in between.
White men fawn over asian women as they are anyway.
You've never seen Hentai.
Uh no have you seen south east asians and south asians? Most of the people here have big eyes lol i live here i know
Aisyah Adilah most of the asians do have smaller eyes than other races, sry its a fact, ofc there will be some places where people have bigger eyes, but im talking in general
3,600 ignorant people who've never bothered to pick up a book/ relate/ UNDERSTAND that all that colonization and superiority actually did something! Go figure!
Janne Seppänen Exactly...
***** Gave us the "modern world" at the expense of every Person of Color... And caused the highest demographic of prison inmates to be...nvm, idiot. "Grow up"?
Go to school
Race Hochdorf Blizzzocked, racist, ignorant sad excuse for a decent human being. Don't think you know it all...especially for issues YOU LITERALLY CANT RELATE TO...lol sit down and shut up.
Bye
Preach!!!
Okay? At-least you guys have large penises and can fight better. Stop complaining and learn to love yourselves.
I had no idea just how rough it is out there for non-whites and I'm glad you ladies (and sometimes gentlemen) are willing to make these videos even though I'm sure you get a lot of hate and people who miss the point entirely. We can't fix the problems in our society if no one is willing to talk about and acknowledge them and it's sad that so many people like to call it "white hate" or some other nonsense when people speak out about the injustices in our society. I for one am very glad for these videos they've made me so much more aware of things so many of us do or say without realizing how much harder they make it for minority groups.
I applaud you and your common sense and your humanity. Thank you thank you thank you.
you're brainwashed as fuck
points* Look...a real life sjw.
+Mutton Chops You understand that solving a particular injustice does not nullify the importance of others, right? Just because don't preach about honour killings 24/7 does not mean that they do not care about it period. There are so many issues in the world, and a single person cannot handle them all. What are you doing about it?
+SuperNdella injustices? bullshit lies made up by these ignorant cunts of sjws and the moronic, tedious and vapid network?
you do know there are different colours and shades of makeup and stockings available, don't you? it's just an option to choose a specific color called "nude", which these airheads are bitching about. A nothingness, they could easily buy a different color if they don't like that particular color.
And as for these asian women wanting larger rounder eyes, these asian women choose to buy a product or undergo surgery. The same can be said for making skin a lighter tone.
Nobody is forcing anybody's hand to conform to some bullshit standard of beauty.
I love how everyone in the comments seems OUTRAGED by the foundation and how that was deceiving, yet nobody mentions the products like fair and lovely. But okay, they made everything up. Sure.
Probably 1,000 days late but "fair" literally means light-skinned. Use a dictionary.
I find light skin lovely and I don't like it when my skin gets darker; this is my personal taste and lots of Asians do like light skin--and this has nothing to do with the so-called white beauty standards. The kind of jeαlousy and the √ictim mentαlity shown here are from the de√iI.
I am actually in awe of these comments. Anything that isn't about white people, is automatically an attack on white people. Amazing.
There are beautiful woman from all races and walks of life just. Can we just appreciate them?
Yes.
No, because apparently we have to shame White people at every opportunity.
+Brock Samson why white ppl always feel like they are to blame. You have no power to change this system, you are on TH-cam, meaning u are part of the 99. WTH could you do but only benefit from it, acknowledge that atleast.
+Insert Name Here you clearly didn't get the point of the video. There is nothing wrong with being a white person. But there is something wrong when you tell poc that they aren't good enough because they're not a white person. The western world caters mostly to white beauty and tends under represent people of color. The representation you see on tv and in the stores is not even close to the actually percentage and distribution of people across the western world.
All they are saying in this video is that people of color should be treated with respect, represented fairly, and catered to with beauty products that actually enhance their natural beauty instead of trying to make them look more Caucasian
Mrsmustachio25 Except nobody is telling them these things. It's all in their head, and they know it. They just want someone else to blame for their own insecurities, and White people are the only ones its acceptable to shit on. As for "underrepresentation", you do know that most Western countries are majority White, don't you?
Every single one of these women is gorgeous loving the brown, black, natural haired and monolid goddesses 👌🏼👌🏽👌🏾👌🏿😍🔥
Simp
I don't understand. All races of women and men are beautiful or can be.
@@gummydrops8622that’s a very recent phenomenon and wasn’t the case like 20 years ago.
Whiteness is the cultural Ideal for beauty? Francesca, Didn't you do a video not too long ago saying that Asian women were the most desired on dating sites?
She's probably one of the idiots who think geisha's wore white makeup because white = better = racism.
When in reality, we don't actually know why, but if anything it was probably to be seen better in badly lit areas in a time when electricity didn't exist.
exactly
Black racists hate Eastern Asians almost as much as they do whites. After they are done screwing with whites, Eastern Asians are next on their crosshairs.
+Tessa Bain actually, she went into detail on how the fetishization of Asian women came about & how the US made Asian men look effeminate, making them look undesirable. Btw colorism has been around for centuries for different purposes in different civilizations. It was Europeans who invented racism to justify slavery & colonization around the world.
You do know Africa and the Middle East still have slavery right? And that those places have had it for tens of thousands of years right?
I'm Spanish-Dominican and idk how many times I've heard (from other Dominicans) that I should be "thankful" that I am fair skinned with light hair. Hearing this from other Hispanics really opened up my eyes to irrational beauty standards.
It's because white people with fair hair are considered the most beautiful by every other race
I WONDER IF THEY BELIEVE THIS OR ARE JUST COLLECTING A PAYCHECK
They see these white girls plumping their lips and tanning that skin...
***** I THINK I NEED A HUG...
+DeluxHA Just because when white people talk about race it's usually centered around predjudice doesn't mean that it's the same in reverse. Usually black people talk about race to gain respect and understanding.
Shows where your head is at.
+BI OD Also that whole "whites are a dying race" shit is bullshit. Whites aren't going anywhere, they're just interbreeding like everyone else. Google the "one drop rule".
+HappiestSadGuy Probity a little from column A and a little from column B.
The message of the video is good but why are you putting the blame on the people who were born with light skin and long hair instead of the companies making the products and ads.
When did they put the blame on lightskinned people?
Not necessarily placing the blame but making it seem like it's their fault that the companies make items that favor their skin. Lyndsey Battle
well thats what they are doing tho, they are blaming the companies not the white women.
shutup peyton u dumb bitch. we know you were in there on them board meetings. stragetizing and plotting on ways to hold us back
stop pretending you werent in on it
+kingfaggot wait what 😂
I googled "bonita senorita" - saw a bunch of Latino women.
I googled "mwanamke mrembo" - saw a bunch of Arabic and Black women.
I googled "beautiful womyn" (the feminist spelling) - nearly all Black women!!!
The racism is strong in franchesca...more bullshit from MTV
+Matt Greer
more people are waking up to this bs narrative being taught to kids
oddly enough it does more harm than good
What did they say that was BS? Just because you haven't experienced it, that doesn't mean that others haven't.
Melissa Jansen
Go back to sleep
It's great, just like 3 years ago hardly anyone was standing up to the politically correct/sjw/modern feminist crowd.... then they attacked gamers and awoke the harbinger of their doom lol.
It's like white ppl are literally trying not not to understand. No one is saying being white is wrong or not beautiful. It's just not the ONLY beauty there is. Having white and and whiteness be the end all be all of beauty is not ok. Try to understand a perspective other than your own for a chance. And you know what? Even if you refuse to understand it dose not matter because there is a wave of self love and awakening happening right now in POC communities, so get with it or get lost🤗🖐🏿
"a wave of self love" I hope they're at least doing this "self love" in private
+Viktor Reznov LMFAOOO that's not what I meant, come on 🙄
+ThereWolf if she moved to Nigeria she would see the same white beauty standards, people in Nigeria in fact have their lips tattooed pink and bleach their skin for this reason. I can't see how ppl don't understand. No one is saying do not market white as beautiful but when you are pushing this image so hard that it is warping the view of other races of themselves it is an issue. If you go to India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Ghana, Pakistan, literally anywhere you will see a push that lighter skin is more beautiful, that straighter hair is more beautiful, if you were a person of color you would understand exactly where this video is coming from. When you get told that you shouldn't play too long outside as a child because you will become too dark you may write it off as nonsense, but when you also turn on the tv and all the beautiful woman are white and all your Barbies are white and all the models in the magazines are white, you start to believe it.
"no one is saying being white is wrong or not beautiful." the title is literally " the problem with white beauty". 2+2=?
+henrietta dwumfour yes I agree in south africa where I live, white people are the smallest percentage but the largest percentage of south African models are white, that I don't understand
When I searched for beautiful women, they weren't all white blonde women, so I don't know what she was talking about. Exaggeration is not needed to prove a point.
I scrolled for a bit and there were only 3 dark skinned women.. it wasn't an exaggeration.
+kate oogle works off of algorithms determining which images and other search results are shown first based on what is clicked on the most. There is no one person sitting down deciding which results show up at the top of the page. So all of the light skinned women showing up at the top of search results is because EVERYONE clicks on those most often. White people didn't get together and be like okay now everyone click on these images over and over so they appear at the top. If they're at the top it means people of ALL races click on them most often......does that mean people of other races who think those women are pretty and click on the image to admire them are perpetuating white beauty standards? Don't blame Google for being racist because the only people to blame for those search results are people of all colors clicking on them
Whitney Dahlin ?? when did i "blame google for being racist"? i understand how google works. you're missing the point. the problem is that white european women are held up as the highest beauty standard, which is incredibly harmful for girls who don't look anything like that. the google results are one easily accessible example of how pervasive this idea is, which is why they were used in this video.
+kate the Google results mean nothing just that people all over the world click on those images the most often. It isn't showing how pervasive white beauty standards are. When men or women are searching for beautiful women to look at they click on what they personally feel is beautiful or what they are sexually attracted to. It has nothing to do with white beauty being forced upon them or fed to them by the media and that's why they find white people attractive. They can't help what they find sexually attractive or beautiful or not attractive and ugly It's instinct. Otherwise gay people are choosing to be gay if you believe people peoples sexuality is influenced by the media or any other outside force. People don't blame the media or any other outside force for making for making them attracted to the same sex. They were born attracted to the same sex. The same concept applies here. You can't help who you're attracted to that doesn't make you racist.
I just searched it up to and hardly seen any black people tho. Only seen white, maybe some white indian, europeans, maybe a couple mixed biracials. But hardly no black women, ESPECIALLY dark skin black women. Exaggeration? I think not!
Beautifully done! Representation absolutely matters! Thanks MTV for putting out something that enlightens and exposes, rather than hides the truth. All beauty standards need to be broken, we are PERFECT the way we are!
Agreed, I mean I ain’t black but I ain’t white either
Why are the comments of these videos always so dismissive? Find somewhere else to go?
+TheGreenerItGets Fuck off bitch white people have right to defend themselves from the blatantly racist one sided propaganda hitpiece. If you don't like it then DON'T READ THE COMMENTS!
+TheGreenerItGets Are you serious?
These videos are deliberately trolling people for the crime of being born white.
MTV started out as an entertainment channel. Now it provokes anyone who fails to march in lockstep.
How would you feel if your ethnic makeup was denigrated and gratuitously mocked and derided in every SINGLE F'ING EPISODE?

+TheGreenerItGets They have the entire interwebz and media to roam but I think they just love things like this. I guarantee you their notifications are activated for when another video comes out. They love hiding behind anonymity and commenting on these videos. It's gotta give some type of pleasure lol
Well, a lot of people are racially defensive and have a hard time tolerating or understanding other points of view. It's easier to close their eyes, sing kumbaya, and pretend everything is perfect. Anyone who doesn't play along is met with hostility. I'll admit that some people have some valid points, but most don't know what they're talking about. Being dismissive is a passive way to tell everyone to basically stop bitching and forget history because it makes them feel uncomfortable. In shorter terms, ignorance is bliss. And tbh, I think the haters are the ones making up the bulk of the viewership of this show. So I'm sure no one is really bothered by it.
maybe because Its enabling minorities to play the victim card more than they already do. MTV are trying to stir up unrest using vicious propaganda and disingenuous arguments..NOTHING i repeat NOTHING can be exempt from open criticism
last time I checked over 100 million White women in the US. Black women it's about 14 million. If I was selling a product...

When has MTV decoded ever actually cited anything?
Sassy Jones Every citation does not have to come from a book or journal paper.

Congratulations you are saying the majority population in a region is a basis for beauty in that region. That is universal all around the world and if you toss a European in with a tribal African society, the European wont be found attractive.
+Mysticfox2010 Actually no, even in places where people of color are the majority people still suffer from insecurities of being too "ethnic" looking. There are shit loads of bleaching creams all over Asia, Africa, India, etc. Colorism is everywhere, and white people have tainted many places with their beauty standards, even places where it's not a lot of y'all. Don't try to justify it because it's a lot of y'all in America, that doesn't justify othering people lol.
if that were true the wouldn't mostly have skin-lightening beauty products, as well as in india and other colored countries...
silvermoonstone6076 This guy is a dumb ass and trying to excuse America's fucked up beauty standards.
+Kai Jolly first using any "ism" as an argument is a joke. Second the fact that a product exists doesnt prove anything. white people buy makeup and bronzers in the united states all the time. Its pure marketing and the same companies would try to sell a comb to a bald man if they thought they could profit. its just taking advantage of the weak minded
actually I am from Madagascar and white people are considered beautiful in our country. Our parents would often tell us to not play out side when there is too much sun. Because they dont want us to be darkskinned. So yeah this "white is beautiful" attitude is not only in western countriies. It´s a worldwide issue. Alot of people still in 2016 have colonial mentality in their head.

Yea the first image I got was who looks to be a korean woman, and the second is another Asian culture...
Who is half white so there went your point. And the rest are almost exclusively white, you're so delusional.
@Deon Harringto same could be said about whites trying to look black and wearing clothes like them.
Nope, not even close.
No one chooses what's beautiful. It just happens. Beauty is subjective. No need to change any "beauty standards"
Society chooses beauty standards. Beauty standards do exist in men and women.
@@realrecognizes6834 If you live in a WHITE society, created and build by white people for their people - and you find, they consider their own "race" the most beautiful, what is wrong with that? I do not expect Nigerians or Chinese to find white people beautifu. Why? Because I won't marry either an Asian nor African man, so it is not important to me to be seen as "beautiful" by them. Truth is this world has many ethnicities, different looks, and every country is responsible for the representation of their own people.
@@EnteleiEchein did you watch the video?😂 They are not forcing to change the beauty standards, but instead is talking about how toxic white beauty standard is and how much it invalidates people of color. They arent telling white people to be attracted to people of color but to stop this toxicness

@@gummydrops8622 I think, that every "race" or ethnicity of people naturally find their group of people the most attractive, at least the majority.

Congrats on that! But unfortunately not everybody thinks like that and it's a majority it's not also all about skin it's also about hair and makeup and beauty products that don't extend out to poc understand this 😌
+Briela Zamhern I'm only talking about skin and referring to that comment she made.
As for hair why is it that if their hair is so despised by white people and society that whenever someone white does their hair in a similar way they claim cultural appropriation (whilst themselves dressing and copying white European culture).
Best one is dreadlocks which can be traced to Greeks and Spartans before Africans.
Or why is it that really pale skinned people have the same troubles finding the right make up which is out there.
In fact go watch a reaction video to this to see their nonsense tore apart.
All they are doing is playing the victim and being racist.
When they mention it in my family it is in a negative way

White people are the majority in the West so yes marketing to white beauty standards and white people is going to be the norm...why is this so hard to understand
Not in America they are, the white population is just barely hanging onto the majority race now.
They’re forgetting to mention that white society is one of the most accepting. All countries have a beauty bias to the majority. For example if they go to south east Asia they will realise that the beauty standards are Korea centric and even more strict and worse for them. Where people will actually treat them differently based on skin tone.
These people need to chill. Like they literally just hating on white people

+Heinrich Hertz what about all the other people if it's so white. they kind of decided to ignore us all at one point so it's kind of hard not to bring it up
I am and Indian man. Fair and lovely is an Indian product, created specifically for the Indian market. It plays off the historical racial prejudice of the paler brahmins and other higher castes against the traditionally darker lower castes. This preceeded white European invasion by about 3000 years. White people didn't make us racist. Very few Indians in America with its EVUL WHITE BUEATY STANDURDS, use the product (which is why Unilever hasn't found success selling the product to the Indian diaspora outside of Asia, yet their ancestors and their relatives who currently live in India use it tremendously.
Wow
For once I actually expected educated people to be in the comment section, guess I was wrong again. the girl with the afro is so damn pretty though
It's a nice thought, but I don't think it will ever happen. Not in this nation at least. The skin color issue was something that took me a while to get over but I'm glad I can finally embrace and love myself the way I am. I wouldn't want to look any different.
Hair will always be an issue. Trying to get a job was the most difficult thing in the world. Wasn't until I wore a wig I started getting offers. I went the first week with a wig and then I went back to natural after that. Screw it LOL. Be unapologetic and screw everybody else, honestly. BIG HAIR DON'T CARE! xD

Canary, right?
Zeryk M Thanks! And yes it is!
+Erulassee White supremacy sucks. I feel ya sister.
***** Yes, I think people should be able to use whatever products they want for their own beauty goals. I think the problem though is that the reason they usually do it is because they consider being whiter and more European looking better than the way they were born. That mentality usually is brainwashed into people. I don't know any group of people of color that haven't dealt with this. But it's particularly depressing as a black woman and seeing it in my own community how much darker-skinned people hate themselves and how people often mistreat them because of their dark skin. I've deal with that pain myself and in my family and among friends. The worst case I've seen is a woman was bleaching her skin which is... her own choice but she was also bleaching her 7-year old daughter. Other than the fact that her daughter is too young to understand than mentality, I think that should be consider child abuse since she's endangering her health.
I do believe people should be able to use whatever products they want for whatever purpose. But I think this video is noting how mentally and emotionally damaging such a mentality can be to the person.
Hope that helps.
***** Well I think on a societal scale, more representation would really help. More diversity in movies, especially kid movies, considering how impressionable they are.
But the communities themselves need to heal as well. Actually that's such a loaded question when I think about it that I really don't know the right answer. Personally I feel the black American community (and the Latin American community) is really far gone when it comes to colorism. I know that at least for black women more are starting to embrace their natural hair and their skin tone despite what others may say. It's really just a matter of fighting back against the naysayers and making their voice a minority. But it's a long tough battle because a lot of it stems from self-hate. Just going based off of my own experience and what I've seen.

Remember when MTV just played music videos? I miss those days...
Now the M in MTV stands for "Morron".
MTV in the 90's: Nirvana Unplugged
MTV now: Francheska Ramsey
Geez I wonder why no one watches MTV anymore
music has alot of racial history
How MTV come from nirvana, rock music, to this I have no idea.
The minority has to assimilate to the majority. Not the other way around.
asians make more of the world population...
People of color are partly responsible for the white beauty standard. At some point you have to take responsibility for your own thoughts and actions.
True. No one forces sistahs to wear blue eye contact lenses and blonde wigs. They choose to do that themselves; then they pretend as if some beauty standard is being forced upon them.
The majority of Americans are white, hence white people will set the standardt of beauty. In Japan most people are asian, so the asians will set the standardt of beauty. Is this really so hard to understand?
I love my skin tone. I love my shade of brown. I love my afro hair and I should not be made to feel bad about that. Also I did the google image search for beautiful woman and the majority of the images that came up were of white women. Little to no women of color. And I'm not just talking about black women. There were no Hispanic, Asian, or Native American women. It's crazy to know that racism is so prevalent these days, that there are manufacturers that are willing to bypass the entire POC market just to maintain that "White is Right" Image.

Please explain why Japanese women were painting her faces white before whites even got there.
Darker skin meant you were poor and had to work out in the sun. Non tanned skin meant the opposite. It was about socioeconomic status
I feel where this is coming from. However, given that I grew up during the "Black is Beautiful" Movement, I always felt I wasn't "black enough." So I want to relate to this video, but I can't because I never felt I had to live up to white beauty standards. I didn't care that my hair was nappy (I thought we were supposed to get relaxers, but I barely relaxed my hair when growing up and I actually preferred the big afro's from the 70's). I attribute it to my upbringing also.
Google.com is the american version of the site. In the US, caucasians make up the majority, so it would stand to reason that the majority of the results would be caucasian.
I love this video. I'm sick of these darn 'beauty' standards.
Well. I'm so pale that most highlighters in conture paletts are too dark for me to use them for highlighting, some are darker than my skin (as in the KatVonD-palett), that's why I have to change up what kind of paletts/colors I buy -- to suit my skin. I suggest MTV starts doing the same thing.
MTV has turned into Buzzfeed now
Because they discuss problems affecting an intersection of gender and race in an easily digestible manner??? What the hell’s so wrong with that???
White standar sucks, but also trying to blackenizer everything sucks
What is “blackenizer?” This isn’t even a thing
It makes sense for Eurocentric beauty standards to be the standard in the Western World. That's the way it should be. Western countries are mostly whyte so that's what the beauty standard should be. Countries should revolve around the majority; not the minority. In countries with a majority of darker skinned people, the beauty standards will very likely be that of the darker skinned people. If in China the beauty standard is whyte, which it may not be, then that's because the Chinese people there CHOOSE the whyte standard of beauty as their beauty standard. It's not whyte people's job to convince non whytes that they're beautiful. It's up to non whytes to do that for themselves.
I'm Asian and I like light skin (lots of Asians do).
I've never gone makeup shopping (because I'm a dude) but I'm pretty sure darker makeup exists, like, a lot.
I just googled "makeup) and found some for darker skin colors.
+TrevorSpace Animation there is makeup for darker skinned people but this tends to be harder to come by and harder to choose. Now though i agree with other parts of their argument, I don't think that the make up "issue" is a real issue. The skin whiteners are but not the makeup.
+TrevorSpace Animation darker makeup exists but it is ridiculously hard to find. Many makeup companies only sell a few darker shades which don't which are only going to match a few skin tones, and that's just foundation. I have yet to find a bronzer that matches me and I like.
+Dasnee Bailey scratch that. I haven't found one that doesn't match me and isn't too heavy.
+TrevorSpace Animation Of course it exists, but if you go to the makeup section and actually look for it - well, you realize you actually have to look for it. It may not be there at all. If it is, you may not be able to find your shades. The store where I get makeup (Kroger) is seriously about 95% for white skin. Darker colors are on a shelf by the ground, and there are only a couple of rows. I remember when I first noticed it, and suddenly realized that all the makeup there was really for white skin and I had never even realized it, because that's just what was normal to me. Kind of trippy.
Dafuq 3k dislikes? Society its fucked up
you mean people are disliking an illogical race dividing video? say it aint so!
its actually not dividing anyone. Watch the whole video!
Yeah, I thought there were more people who understood perpetuating generalized thinking based on arbitrary melanin levels is a bad thing, so I'm surprised not more people dislike this.
I'm shocked as well
Even as a white woman, I can actually relate to that to an extent. I used to detest my dark eyes and dark hair, I thought I was ugly and not good enough, glamorizing blue eyes and blonde hair.I can only imagine what it's like for people of colour.
I'm an Asian with big lips, I hope the SJW's don't hate on me for culturally appropriating lips I was born with.
It's okay since you're not white.
+Johnny X true that
Personally, I think that people who worry about beauty "standards" are being paranoid. There is no "standard."
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. _I_ get to define what is (and isn't) beautiful to me. Not you.
Personally, I think "black" women generally look _better_ with African features. And I see no need for a European woman to tan in order to "improve" her milky-white skin. But that's just me.
That's your standard. Add people have a general white worshipping standard.
I would assert that it is people's right to choose their own standard. Personally, I think 'variety is the spice of life.' But if others choose to disagree, so be it.
No, living in fear of being universally judged by an imagined impersonal standard is what makes it paranoia. I agree with your last sentence, but you have to be aware enough not to buy into them.
I actually searched it, and my God, i'm disturbed. There's seriously something wrong here.

Hey, everyone who is saying this is racist and they are only doing this for propaganda is WRONG! Me being a black girl in this society really does take a toll on my confidence in how I look and feel about myself because of white beauty standards. But because I saw more black women embracing their natural hair styles and in a confident way made me want to embrace mine. White beauty standards still affect me now with my body but I'm learning to not care about that. And not to care about any beauty standards. Just to embrace who I am, inside and out.

+tyk2be Because they see a group of women, who complain about seeing too many white girls. It makes perfect sense. Just because they don't call it racism, and they don't think of themselves as racist, it's still racism to being annoyed by the mere existance by other races.

No one's trying to make white ppl feel bad, were just saying step it up with your representation of pretty black, latina and Asian women. we exist and were pretty too.
Varian Oatman
I do understand why the fuck they're complaining, and I mostly agree, but I'm still convinced that, on some subconscious level, Franchesca Ramsey resents white people. Just look at her previous videos, where whites are mostly portrayed as condescending/annoying/dumb/racist, and note the faces, Ramsey makes when she says 'white', or how she imitates whites. One time she literally said '...we have to look at their faces everywhere' with a disgusted facial expression. Yes, her tone is mostly comedic, and I mostly support her causes, but looking at all the evidence, I'm pretty sure her psychological profile includes inferiority complex and hostile feelings towards whites. Which is racism.
Don't call me white, don't call me white!

+Taylor Smith The only time Mr. "minority" here (I'm Native American) ever experienced racism was from another non-white. lmao
Cosmetic companies use shades of all ranges. The reason why white beauty standards are predominantly white is because the west is predominantly white. I guarantee you it won't be that way in Africa, Saudi Arabia, El Salvador, or Japan. And so what if someone wants to be lighter? Alot of white people tan, but it doesn't mean we're ashamed of our race .
