Pray tell..........what issues do I have?
The main issue you have is that you see racism in everything.

Because it permeates this society.......in fact, it seems to be endemic to the human condition. There have been studies showing that babies are most attracted to symmetrical faces..........and the more symmetrical the face, the more attractive a person is considered. And what isn't already natural for human, culture takes over. This country glorifies the western/European look...........the more blond the hair, the more light the eyes, the more aquiline the nose, the more fine the hair............the more acceptable the appearance. Most American actors............in fact, even most Mexican actors embody those features. And the farther you fall from those characteristics the more likely you are to face discrimination. Its why Rs depicted the FOTUS and her daughters as gorillas even though they are attractive people. Its why the FOTUS, her daughters and now Justin Timberlake go through some painful chemical processing to get the kink out of their hair. Fine, straight hair is beautiful; kinky hair not so much.

And now the American ideal when it comes to appearance and beauty is having an impact world wide. Guess what the biggest form of plastic surgery is in China and S. Korea for women under 35? Its modifying their eyes so they are more westernized looking.........more acceptable looking. Blondes are a big sell in Japan.........so blonde, American women do lots of modeling and commercials in Japan.

In fact racism permeates this thread. Its why I bring it up. That's what makes your denials so interesting and your claims that I am the one who is racist so perplexing. The truth is.........you all don't want to talk about it because it makes you uncomfortable. And it makes you uncomfortable because there is truth in it.
