Mercedes Benz removes ad after Chinese complained about model looking too Asian.

[2 Up 2 Down]

Honestly I never heard an Asian person say they want to be white. Hell, a lot of them take pride in being pure breeds.

European features have been propped up as the standard of beauty and it's soaked in deep damn near everywhere.
But this situation is deeper than what most y'all saying and we aren't part of their culture so we aren't going to get it anyway

 

[GreenGhxst]

It is to them and can be argued to be. Asians are worldwide associated with those eyes

And careful with that slipper slope line of thinking

Someone can say the same for when Black people are ripped by how we don't like that "Black people don't like their features"

Some of yall need to think before you speak saying this

Nah we still celebrate the less attractive blacks

You'll never catch us on that dumb shyt

The eyes are an Asian feature

How so? You dont hear us say that, but we got c00ns all over the place

Thats a physical thing, what nuance is there?

 

[HarlemHottie]

That's blackface you fukkin moron that's not what I'm talking about

I'm talking about a black person who is made and has makeup on to exaggerate their features like Big lips, hair to look like a caricature.

We would be outraged

Similar to this right here

It's actually trendy for black women to over line their lips and use lip plumper rn. One could also argue that the huge, fluffy fro is an exaggeration of our natural hair.

And none of that negates what I said

Black pal show outrage over stuff like this espescially when it's by white influence and its for audiences outside of us


Don't try to twist what I'm saying. Fact of the matter is what is happening here is no different than when blacks do it when a white corporation does some bs and creates some caricature or figure repping them they don't like

Quit being a remedial idiot

Spare me you sanctimonious, remedial juvenile.

I literally negated your point by showing you an example of black people using our stereotypes as comedy.

And name an industry not involving white people.

And if you look further it’s not even just “white corporations” boogeymen you’re using as a strawman.

Last week, a model for Chinese snack brand Three Squirrels stood up against the brand’s detractors, asking, “Am I not Chinese?” Consumers had bristled over an unearthed ad campaign from 2019 featuring model Cai Niang Niang, who some said was played up in the ad for her “overly slanted eyes” and posed with her hair in braids, all of which plays into 19th-century Western stereotypes of Chinese people.

I’m not saying they have to like our western aesthetics, but there’s obviously some deeper issue about the way they see themselves and their features in advertising

I don't know the intricacies of a whole other culture and I'm not going to act like I do. We don't like when others do that to us. All we got is an outsider look.

 

[Dr. Acula]

Should be noted this phenomenon is common in other countries too.

Its the same in Mexico, India, parts of Africa, where lighter and the "less native" the models look is preferred by the population. Its the same here in the US at least at a time. Remember the 90s and 80s where the preferred looked was light skin in media? Just saying.

It not just the Asians. shyt is global.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

did they want SHANG CHI to be WHITE????

They didnt want to support Shang Chi


They was “Chinese c00ning”

 

[ImLionyall]

This is why hapas are always so fukked up. They have it the worst out of all the biracials.

 

[Ironman]

Gotdamn there needs to be another word then self hate

 

[MostReal]

Hurry up and drive

I thought it was Hurry up and buy

 

[MostReal]

oh it is?
OK
So answer me this

What's the difference between a black person who throws outrage over a caricature of their features

And this?

How is this a caricature though? That woman looks good and like a normal human being.

 

[GreenGhxst]

They're ashamed of their eyes and thats that

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

I dont even know how to answer this!?!?

Think about it they’re C00n enablers in this case

it’s like letting Jesse Lee Peterson speak to Congress about social housing

his commentary is detrimental to the community he’s speaking for


Once a European allows a minority to disrespect themselves they are being passively racist in order to keep the status quo

It's like a when brotha says he love black women but only goes after women with white features.

Action speaks louder then words.
