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

Action speaks louder then words.
:ld: maybe not exactly white be more european than traditional features like skin complexion, hair, nose shape.

These people are pathetic.

At least Black/African self hate you can understand it, but these muthafukkas are damn near ruling the world and can control their own narratives and images but they still wanna be white.

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
You :cape: for those people that were ok with this?

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.
That stuff Is done in house by black Stylist, and done by black women doing it To themselves

This is diff with a white German corporation making a ad that has offended people.

What would be comparable Is if a white company did this but targeting blacks, which the black community would very likely be offended if a version of this incident happened.

How is this a caricature though? That woman looks good and like a normal human being.
It ain't about looking good nikka:mjlol:

A lot of people in China didn't feel that Marvel shang chi movie either for a similar reason. They felt the actor was too Asian looking.

They prefer they look like they could pass for some western admixture instead of their aunty and uncle back in their rural hometowns.
I heard people describe Bruce Lee this way back in the day. I think that's part of what contributed to his popularity.
