How convienient.
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS. THIS THIS THIS.
And waiting for the people to chime in and tell me I’m taking it too seriously and it’s not about race or any other thing like that and that she’s just pretty and that all these beauty measurements aren’t AT ALL tipped in favor of white folks who present themselves in certain ways. Nope.
Like deafmuslimpunx said in tags FUCK BEAUTY STANDARDS.
One day White folks will actually be creative in their blatant racism. Today ain’t that day.
And the part that kills me…they used “science”.
Please tell me how science is ~objective~ again, white people.
“Florence has all the classic signs of beauty,” said Carmen Lefèvre of the Perception Lab at the University of St Andrews’ School of Psychology. “She has large eyes, high cheekbones, full lips and a fair complexion.
and a fair complexion
and a fair complexion
and a fair complexion
right because having a fair complexion is a *classic* sign of beauty. I’m so over this eurocentric bullshit.LOL I had to see what all the hub-bub was about so I clicked the link and I’m surprised at how BORING she looks.
I can think of ten women who are more beautiful than her.
Ten women of color.
REALLY?
^^^^^^^^^^^
I thought the same. She’s cute but she looks veeeeery insipid and boring.
With a quick image search I found women that rival this woman easily, if not surpass.
The world has SO MUCH to offer in the way of “beauty”, why on earth would we want to settle for such a boring set of features as literally the best the world has to offer?
The woman is moderately attractive, but she is hardly the world’s most beautiful woman.
