I find Chinese actresses so attractive mainly because they still have more variety in their looks despite their preference for certain features ass you mentioned. Its a pity to disregard the beauty of those that dont meet those defined racial standards. Its like wasting a natural human resource.

My impression is that China has developed so fast economically and technologically in so few years, and maybe it is taking longer for society/ culture to became more aware and educated of these "softer" issues. It takes longer to change perceptions in any country.
And maybe different regions/ethnicities need to fight for more representation in media and films. And even pass laws if necessary to encourage change.

Its taken us in the west centuries to become more open minded - its a process.

Pathetic response.

Insulting the person, instead of addressing the argument does not really show off your intelligence. Its cowardly and dishonest. If fact, its an indication of your inability to use logic and reason to address facts, or that you dont have confidence in your position.
Oh and i typed this very slowly so you could understand.

Im not wasting any more time here.

They are both good looking - there are so many different types of looks /beauty so just having one standard makes that look boring / common really fast.

It also doesnt also do good to the psyche of the population when the majority of the population doesnt fit into that standard and are made to feel inferior. They are promoting their own self discrimination in a way.

I hate when a particular beauty standard look is being promoted.
Kind of like the korean celebrities where they all look the same to me (same plastic surgery). They meet the beauty standard with their perfect features but have lost the originality of their looks and sometimes the perfect features dont add up and add synergy to the look (dont make person look more beautiful - just perfectly bland.

I won’t unless you elaborate.

Again, you are viewing the world through your perspective and assuming racism - you see the world as you are through your lens. You are coming across as the type of person who shouts “cultural appropriation” when even the locals see it as cultural appreciation.

I stand by my initial statement – which is that I cant and won’t assume racism in every action unless i have more context and understanding. Otherwise, it’s my subjectivity and assumptions. And I don’t want to be like you.

So no, I won’t just get it

Yes. Otherwise i would be an ass like you for making assumptions and jumping to conclusions.

Indians are not discriminated in the UK. But Indians do a lot of discriminating amongst themselves with their caste system. So why cant a Brit (or anyone) comment on looking like an Indian/German/ Italian or any other nationality and saying its a bad photo? Saying a picture makes you look bad and Mexican is not the same thing as saying that looking Mexican is a bad thing. And as a European, I would think looking Mexican is better than a fat racist redneck american - but a stupid american may not realise that. And the fact that you cant critise zios for supporting genocide in germany is fucked up.

Your racism is not my racism. An african does not perceive many issues the same way as an american black who experienced slavery does.
Not eveyone is fucked up and sees things from your perspective. And jumps to make stupid assumptions about what the racism that isnt always there.

Took me a long time to finish this. Found it difficult to watch.
BUT it was good. Its a bit different from your typical bl story which is what I liked about it. And it did not have the usual bl tropes - or not that i noticed.
I m finding most recent bls derivative - this one has better acting and story line.

Thank you. I did take the time to read this, and appreciate your detailed response. I was not aware of all this. I lack a lot of context.

But at least he apologised - but I am surprised that something like that comment would be said on media so casually when its going to be perceived as being racist and insulting.

And so from an outsiders perspective the outrage sounds rather ridiculous.
Not everything is in the article is explained or analysed - as you have. Also I would be a real doofus if i spent hours or my time being invested in this topic. Its a discussion board.

lol. And you post a puerile comment in response?
Flattered i affected you but is that all you got? Pathetic.

i dont really know much or understand asian history and various relations between the countries.
That is why the outrage does not make sense - to someone objective and not aware of the history .

Is that what really happened?

If they are discussing the unflattering drawing that makes him look southeast asian then it changes things and it comes across as racist.

EDIT But i can still say a drawing makes me look French/African etc - but its unflattering - and its not necessarily racist.

If they said its unflattering because its southeast asian looking then definitely racist.

So looking southeast asian is insulting then. And that if you told people your picture makes you look southeastern asian its offensive.

Thanks I didnt know that.

I watch Thai bl.

Thai bl actors have had plastic lots of surgery to look "less" Thai. A lot of the good looking actors are of Chinese ethnicity. Very few bl actors represent their ethnicity and its a big problem. They chose the white looking actors. (as an observer its a problem in all asia - even China)

do you speak for all SEA?

Obviously you represent racist korea

are you talking in korean? The most racist of the asians. Its part of their culture .

thanks for explaining to us that being southeast asian is an embarrassment, and humiliating. I would not have know that from his comment but I understand it from yours that to be compared to southeast asian is insulting.

PS the Thai bl actors who have had plastic surgery to look "non" Thai and Chinese looking. A lot of the good looking actors are of Chinese ethnicity. But dont worry the same can be said about the Chinese actors who also use plastic surgery and injections to be white.

As a westerner i seriously dont understand.

He said the picture made him look southeast asian.
Is there something wrong and embarrassing about being and looking southeast asian?
Is it an insult to be south east asian?
If he said the picture made him look very north or south Chinese (or any other race/culture - english, italian, black ) would that be racist or embarrassing?

I didnt know until now that being southeast asian something to be ashamed off and the people their are inferior.

thanks for clarifying what you meant. Its a minefield for actors - they say something and it can and will offend someone somewhere

I dont understand. Why is it racist?
He said the picture made him look southeast asian.

Is there something wrong and embarrassing about being southeast asian?
Is being southeast asian something to be ashamed off? Is it an insult to be south east asian?
If he said the picture made him look very north or south Chinese would that be racist or embarrassing?

EDIT If someone said a picture or drawing (exaggerated) made some one look intentially english, italian, japanese or european or black i would think its offensive or an insult - its descriptive. Unless you think looking like a particular "name race/culture" is something to be ashamed off.

I dont really know this actress and her situation but imagine if having a property in a one man company was legal. Then Cha Eun Woo would not have committed tax evasion and we would not be debating this anymore.

My issue is that these type of laws are unfair. And they exist.

PS I cant believe how much Fan Bingbing must have earned. I will look her up. Im going to focus on watching more Chinese dramas going forward as I also want to learn the language.
