Oh, whoops! It wasn’t my intent to suggest that white people were also being unfairly judged (I think we can agree there’s a bit too much sympathy in that direction already!) but merely point out that East Asian beauty has its own distinct flavor, since I’ve heard white people characterizing it as Asians wanting to look more white and while that was not what you were doing I wanted to draw a distinction in case someone reading was currently erroneously assuming that… (I guess it’s kind of a soapbox I’ll hop on too often) do I make any sense today? I think I’ve had too much sugar. :) Again, excellent piece, and thanks for responding!
