Ted, Beauty in this world is propagandized by western culture. Its called racism......idolizing one race over another There are a TON of western ideals that have already changed Korean culture, more so than even you can imagine. Beauty is just one of them. None of this is "western propaganda." That's silly talk, and it demeans both the meaning of the word "propaganda" as well as the positive aspects of western culture such as individual rights. Heck, even the sexual liberation of Korean culture can be directly attributed to westernism. Why don't you call THAT "western propaganda"? Tenchusatsu

"Why? Because the western eye is idolized. Beauty in this world is propagandized by western culture. Its called racism......idolizing one race over another:" That may still be true in some less modernized regions of the world but not in Western culture, nor is it promoted by Western culture. I've watched several generations of children taught to idolize a type by the popular culture. It is amazing what they will do to themselves as they are developing an identity, which usually persists into adulthood. In the 1950s, on American reservations, kids played cowboys and Indians and they all wanted to be the good guys in the white hats when they played, not the evil red skins. In the 1940s and early 50s kids wanted to have the V-Neck sweater, tennis racket, and drive a convertable to look as much like the wealthy white teen as they could. The 1960s culture began social movements of all kinds and has pushed progressive movement up until modern times which has more and more cast a negative light on white American males. Now kids in all neighborhoods talk and move with a gangsta dialect. It has become uncool to hold a white male up as a role model. Traditional white males in mainstream media, like the popular sitcoms, are usually a source of mockery unless they play an emasculated role. It becomes acceptable to express bigotry toward different types as culture makes turns. It is open season on white males. All kinds of changes have taken place. The new niggas are Muslims. What is no longer true but still promoted by the popular culture is the idea that injustice toward people of color and Jews in America is common (not that there aren't exceptions). The popular culture, mostly as presented by the mainstream media drives these weird twists and turns. As each generation buys into the new idiocy, they are convinced they have a much better world view than previous generations.
