I’ve noticed that many white people tend to find certain features more attractive and often choose to date people with those traits, especially African features. I think it's diabolical that because of these preferences, Black people from the diaspora - who are descendants of slaves - have a harder time succeeding in modeling compared to others.
The thing is these xenophobes think that whites do this to mock Black people. That was the consensus on Lipita being the chosen one for a while on this forum. That is was an inside white hole. They can't see it. They don't see African beauty. Meanwhile that same beauty is actually appreciated by non Black people truthfully and those who have an inferiority complex think it can't be real.
Right now I work with a gorgeous dark Kenyan woman. Literally everyone in the building white or Asian was tripping about her beauty before I saw her. She's just regular to me. Same with this Ghanaian woman. Both dark and beautiful getting real admiration. But people who hate their Africaness can't fathom this...it's only that we look unique or something. Not actually beautiful.
Nothing exposed this forum more than the rise of Lupita. I never seen such triggered c00ning and self hatred. The thread is still archived for anyone interested. It's a good preview into the mind of some
