Kyle Davis black people were barred from different places depending on their skin tone for many years. and slaves that were lighter would be treated different from slaves were darker. It's something that has not changed for as long as his country has been a country. darker skin women don't have the same marketable Beauty in many Industries as lighter skinned women. It shouldn't be that way but it's still is.

momogurl​ I agree that people need to be accepting of all skin tones and especially their own. I'm not sure but it appears that most people find their own race most attractive (not being racist), so maybe that's part of the so called ideal beauty image being different in different areas. What are ur thoughts?

Kyle Davis on the aspects of skin color, lighter being better is a beauty standard that has been forced on people of color for a very long time. the ideal of European beauty being the best is a long he'll tradition and its sad. Now I don't doubt that people are attracted to their own race more than others. I think that really is an individual thing for the most part. I personally have no limitations that area I like all races. But there are some people who are attracted to other races of lighter skin because they hate their own dark skin. it is a psychological issue that had been created by the institution of slavery. not only slavery but it's also a class issue is well. If you were poor you were in the Sun and you were treated like you were less. And some countries, the darker you are the less desirable you are like in India. It is a huge topic and one that will take a long time to really go through. There so many layers.

momogurl I see what you mean. I know that pale people are considered less atractive than someone that's tanned according to social standards in the U.S. is darker skin also considered less desirable in primarily black nations, such as northern parts of Africa?

momogurl yeah when I said tan people in the U.S. are preferred over pale, I meant within the white community. But yeah there isn't one image of beauty and media all around the world needs to promote diverse depictions of beauty. I don't think that will change though until we get everyone confident In who they are. It's definitely a complicated issue in need of change

NightmaresWonderland YES thank you

ikr

Dear God, they don't mean Italian as a race, they mean it as a CULTURE. Look at a map. There are different countries in Europe; it isn't just, "WhiteWhiteWhite." It's a land of people and culture, like everywhere else. Seriously, I'm black and I understand this.

holes- Yeah, as someone from Romania I don't like to be put under the same category as the rest of Europeans. All cultures on this continent are different.

pwoper fish Since you don't get the joke I'll gladly explain it. It's like in thw black community where every girl suddenly has native american and they're all the same tribe too. So like white girls are alway like I'm 1/3 or 1/4 Italian like they have the fractions spot on. The joke is just stating she's not a special snowflake.

holes- She said Italian as in race.....sometimes I don't think you understood yourself. She's part Italian as in her ethnic group.

@@fayebrignull9114 well india is so diverse. Beauty standards change with every region.I am particularly stating about north indian beauty standards. Body type - a little meat on bones,tall and definitely curvy.heavy chest and bottom with much slimmer waist. You know something to hold on. Face - sharp nose , big eyes ( even better if they are light) with big lashes, thin lips, fuller cheeks(preferably pink) and fair complexion that flushes.

iamme iamme That makes sense. I'm British so I'm clueless about beauty standards. Along with that of my own culture!

@@fayebrignull9114 are you an NRI?

iamme iamme , this might just be the editors version of a stereotype or style. The editor could have tried to take certain modifications to the extreme to showcase “beauty standards” or purely for the obvious difference. I can’t speak for buzzfeed or anyone else. As I am not from India, I hope I might have helped straighten some questions out , or what I thought anyway 👍🏻 again no hate just wanted to have my say

and still looks just as beautiful as a girl with a small waist big boobs and wide hips, your body is perfectly shaped the way it is and should never be changed. in my opinion there is no such thing as “curves in the right places” cause technically everyone views “right places” differently. everyone does not share the same views with eachother on beauty. we all like different things and that’s a good thing. there are so many people who will love your body type, you just surrounded by the wrong people that’s all. you are beautiful

What does "native" even mean? The human race didn't start in Iceland either, but people still consider those that are part of the predominant ethnicity there to be natives. We humans tend to make everything about heritage, trying to exclude people based on it instead of celebrating differences.

Was she born and raised in America? If so, then she's American. Simple as that. The race/culture/nationality of her parents doesn't define her.

Clay DS but the origin of your parents and grandparents means something to you and defines you in most cases. When I found out that the father of my grandmother came from Poland, that meant something to me, even if it doesn't make me polish. But you can see it in my bone structure, my hair and my eyes. Most people would say I'm from East Europe. So it shows in your looks where your ancestors come from. And sometimes also in your behavior and the way they raised you.

With that thoughtprocess there really are no natives anywhere though. All peoples arrived to a country at some point. I mean then we can't call the english native of england either, because they arrived from all corners of the world, integrating with the celtic people who already lived there. And the celtic people most probably killed the people who lived there before THEM according to historic sources. It makes it all rather difficult.

It's not that she's supposed to call herself something else, it's that she shouldn't really be in this video. The difference between her and the others is they have a clear heritage taut impacts their life and she just has some Italian cousins and that's it. She's white and it's kinda embarrassing here

Joe Dee i never said skinny or fat was healthy/unhealthy. And actually weight isnt a “good indicator” if you looked at my mother you’d think she’d die at a young age, but she actually very healthy.

Rach Stone Its mainly white Americans. But I think it's just because we all come from very different backgrounds

I think it's fine to say you're 1/4 of something as long as the grandparent that 1/4 is coming from is 100% said heritage. If your grandma is full Italian, and your mom is half, you would be 1/4 and I think it's close enough in relation to you that you can embrace it.

Makes white liberals sound more interesting.

Ikr I always have friends telling me their 50 shades of beige backround of italian mixed with french, dutch etc. etc. and I'm just like "So you're white?"

if you're 0.1% cheese i wanna know how and why

Ignorance. They just don't want to think beyond themselves.

Yes, obviously she doesn't look Italian to most Europeans but almost all white Americans have a mixed European background nowadays. Europeans are very diverse, it's easy to distinguish between a (non-mixed) Polish person and a ( non mixed ) Italian person. If you don't think Europeans are diverse you obviously don't know the culture and really shouldn't talk about it. The ignorance of non-Europeans about Europe is pathetic sometimes.

Giulia Ve everyone knows Italian Greeks Portuguese and spaniards look different than other Europeans

It's no different than saying all blacks look and are the same and that all asians look the same. Who cares

okay i´m white and german but i don´t actually care if somebody says allw hite people look the same, cause people of colour have to deal with way worse insults and i think south european and south east european people kinda count more to people of colour

Shaila Lugo true. It is very annoying because she is so fair and she just cant stop talking about being Italian.

Mathew Tillson but what is white? Every ethnic group has a culture identity and they know where they come from. Saying that you identify as white doesn't tell people anything. It's basically a poster sign saying oh I don't know where I come from. If you identify as Italian American or from some other European country then sure be proud of that.

yeah that's about all

CrimsonStigmata Nobody said they identified as white, nobody here has said that. Kristen said she identified as 1/4 Italian and apparently that's not valid because she's white.
