The ‘Beauty Standard’ Has Shifted To Black Women
<p>Think of how women of colour — especially black women — are often (but not in all cases) genetically shaped, then consider social media, celebrities, and data around plastic surgery. Placing the three together it could be argued there has been a sharp increase in women in the media (and probably walking down your street) with lip fillers, bottom lifts, and fillers where they are not “filled” naturally, emulating the genetics of black women — generally speaking. What about all the fake tanning too?</p>
<p>Based on the data I’ve listed and linked to below, it’s factual that black women’s genetics are being emulated at high rates. We could even go as far to say that women in the public eye like the Kardashian sisters and Iggy Azalea are making their millions by emulating black and brown women, raking in the money, and then removing their modifications when they realise they are no longer serving them.</p>
