Plastic Surgery to change features distincitive to your race? AAH!

I totally agree with you. Its like where there is a lot of black people getting nose jobs to get a 'white nose' (Beyonces and other celebrities are rumoured to have had this done). How silly! It doesn't even suit peoples faces to get features of another race. I think its very sad if people cannot accept the features which make them what they are.

This makes me really, really sad. And really disgusted at the same time. But I know the answer to why people get these surgeries. White is the dominant race in America. I'm not saying they're better or superior- but they are the ones in power. Racism is still very real in America. And it's a proven fact that even among racial minorities, those who look closer to being white usually have the higher status and the better opportunities. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the Asians having their eyes changed were called "slant-eyes" or other racial insults by a good number of people. Racial prejudice and discrimination is very hurtful, and it can make people wish they weren't who they are. It's really sad that these people feel the pressure so strongly that they feel they have to surgically change their facial features.

i am absolutelly with plastic surgery if it is made by good specialist and with brains!i see maerican television and i see black people with little noses and 40kg small girls with gigantic not normal boobs..thats too much...here in europe where i live its still something new,but i see many people are doing operations too..i think if yu are not good with yourself,if there is nothing else to do,of course you can make operation.

I think it's because universal standards of beauty are still largely biased towards Caucasian features. Look at Miss Universe, Miss World or other beauty pageant winners. Or even the top models. Most of them are Caucasian or Latina. You may see a few Asians among them or a few Africans, but they are in the minority.
