True it's not as bad as the plasticky blond bimbo basketball boobed atrocity, but it's still pretty bad.

Plastic surgery is huge in South Korea.

Koreans are known for their internalized racism. Didn't you have a korean guy here who went by SMaL who was the perfect example, or so I hear?

They have a cream called "white perfect" (strong association there!) that was designed to give them the look you show in that pic:

https://www.amazon.com/Loreal-Grams-White-Perfect-Moisturizing/dp/B007TSZS4O?

Yes. It's an entire product line.

India does it too, but their products are shittier so the results are less dramatic:

it's because everybody does it

ok, not "everybody," but it's to the point where if you want to remain competitive you have to have some form of cosmetic surgery

What is wrong with how they look does it anger you so much that some one can look how they want in a way that you do not approve of?

I think it annoy TC in the same way that he gets annoyed at all those white girls with orange tans, collagen injected lips, duck face and all that. They all try to look the same.

I can't imagine what it must be like to go through life getting annoyed at people just because of how they choose to look.

*says koreans want to be white and use whiteners*
*links to loreal products made in thailand*

what a joke.

i used to live in korea and i know, yes people want to be white, but not cuz they're racist. its classist if anything. maybe a mix. but i would say more classism than racism.

i dont think in korea they use whitening soap, they just avoid the sun like the plague. and they put on white-out like stuff for foundation in their make up. south east asia is more likely to use whitening soap.

Are you going to tell me they don't sell that cream in Korea? Come on, be serious. Aren't you the guy with the korean fetish, anyway? You'd know.

Zillions of brands bro, all korean.

I didn't say they were racist, but they certainly want to be white. There are surgeries to get a western eyelid, there are surgeries to increase height, and their k-pop is some sort of reboot of 50's style america stereotypes ( http://www.koogle.tv/static/media/uploads/news/5-7_bestie.jpeg )

To me that means internalized racism, not that they're necessarily racist.

Historically, dark skin is associated with labor work like butchers, farmers, etc.
Low positions in olden day society.

This. And Korea's modern look/economy hasn't been that long compared to others. From Japanese colonial rule to a civil war to military dictatorships all within the last century.

There is a SHIT ton of whitening cream and stuff here that I have to avoid. For themselves, quite a lot of Koreans want to be lighter skin but you do have people that want to be darker. And non-white foreigners here will get complimented on their beauty too so it's not just a 'WHITE IS RIGHT" type of mentality.

... what in the fuck is this white arrogance

for one, pale/fair skin is a natural trait in asians, and its value in asian culture goes way back before globalization, i.e. it's not something that white people own

secondly, again, double-eyelids are not a trait that white people own - they occur in a lot of asians naturally

koreans also tend to be tall, too - average height for dudes in south korea is 5'9 (or is being tall something that white people own again?)

and lastly, a still from a single music video doesn't mean shit either - like, why don't you look up something like fantastic baby and tell me where they're trying to be 1950s america in there?

Alright then, how do you justify the double eyelid surgeries, the skin bleaching and the height augmentation surgeries?

... how dense are you

- uh, they wanna look like the asians with double eyelids?

- uh, they wanna look like the asians with pale/fair complexions?

- uh, they wanna be taller like the asians who are tall (who doesn't want to be taller other than the already tall, anyway)?

Pics.

I mean.. you know, the western "round eye"

again, the fuck are you on about?

asians can have all shapes of eyes (it's like, people within a single race can all look different or something, whoa)

quit being stupid

Come on.

East asian have a particular eye shape. Just like people of nordic ancestry have a particular skin color. You won't find many (probably any) ethnic Swedish with black skin.

Most people in the world have epichantic folds.

It is not exclusively to Asians.

People are tying to get disingenuous here. You guys know I mean "round eyes" (see, now I have to use non-pc terms). It's not a typically east asian feature, no.
