He was probably happy to have bleached his skin to look less like him, not just to even out his vitiligo. The countless nose jobs was most likely part of that too, though some underlying OCD mindset might have played a part of that. MJ did strive for perfection in his performances after all, which was a great but tainted trait cause it also harkened back to his dad's abusive practices.

[@bea3630]

@@imsomewhatokaysugar ‘romance’ doesn’t mean anything when it come to genetics, it is used to describe languages that derive from latin, in certain cases it can qualify cultures and geographical locations as well though. Italians in Italy are for the most part caucasians, some very fair, others rather dark. Italians who made Italy what is today did not all look the same, just take a look at Garibaldi and tell me he looks anything like the stereotypical Italian man foreigners always think of. So no, Italians might share history (sure) and culture (kinda) but no way we all looke the same, different genetic groups have occupied the peninsula for who knows how long and have intermingled a lot in the meantime.

[@podoke]

the issue with traditionally asian features becoming more trendy right now is that it means it will one day be out of style and when that happens, the asians who don't just choose to adopt different racial features via surgery as the years pass, will still be very much asian. and in that moment--without ever asking for it-- we'll have become something that was in style and now out of style when all we did was exist. i feel like some people might be confused to why we feel upset towards traditional asian features becoming trendy and personally (speaking only for myself here since i am but one person) it upsets me bc i was bullied a lot growing up for having small eyes, flat face, etc. and any joy i feel now seeing those features be appreciated is quickly over shadowed by the fact that this acceptance is temporary and im not looking forward to when suddenly this appreciation is dropped with the start of a new "trendy face". ack not sure if that made any sense?? got a lot of feelings about this topic but i'm not very good with words

[@sp_00nsy]

No you've got a MAJOR point. It's the fetishization that reeks from modern media surrounding Asians at this point. It's not just the hypersexualization (ie. "Foreign Asian women are very much wanted because they're exotic"), but I also see it as them taking the things WE WERE MOCKED AND BULLIED FOR and placing it as a trend to hypocritically say, "I'm not racist!! I'm enjoying their culture 🥺🥺" [+ also the infantilization of Asians that are a big issue too; (ie. Babying adult stars/influencers)] If you want to enjoy Asian culture, don't just modify yourself to look Asian and speak OVER Asian voices; listen to them and learn from them. Non-Asian folk don't get the head on megaphone with the asian-baiting that Ariana has been doing. - a Chinese person in the US.

[@icebear394]

i'm not asian but i think i can understand what you mean. giving a really silly example, i used to be made fun of for wearing glasses and some years later it became trendy that people would even wear fake ones. when i saw that i thought wow society is so fckn stupid, but it's easy to forget and ignore since it's just glasses. with races it's a way harder thing, it goes way deeper. because being certain races comes with a lot of heavy prejudice, and it isn't an object like the glasses. seeing it be treated as if it was one feels kinda dehumanising. features being trends feels so weird...

[@Alex-fc8xn]

Yeah I was made fun of for my freckles as a kid and then they were trendy for a while and now they aren't anymore and I'm just here existing like "why do you change your minds on what natural features are ok or attractive so often?" Like why can't the trends just be about makeup and hairstyles and clothes that aren't trying to emulate specific cultures and ethnic features? Like red hair is celto-germanic and I've been both made fun of and fetishized for it and while I don't mind people dying their hair red, I'd be MAD if someone who used to bully me or sexualize me (like asking "do the curtains match the drapes" when I was a teen 🤢) dyed their hair. Or if they did it just so they could play up the "sexy, fiery redhead" stereotype and profit off of it.

@Jenete j same, back in high school some girl had the AUDACITY to ask me if i was chinese (cause she said cause of my eye shape) when she knew i was mexican smh

[@Alex-fc8xn]

I don't think I was bullied for it, since my year in elementary school luckily didn't have much racial bullying, but I'm also a white person with rather almond shaped eyes. My eyes are hooded and not monolids, but they tilt up at the corners and have that lil puffy area under the eye that's popular in Korea to emphasize right now. I honestly only realized it because my eyes are slightly different shapes and I got super self conscious about it at a young age and started wearing my hair over one eye so nobody would notice. But bc I was aware of how they looked I started looking at other peoples' eyes and realized that they didn't really look like most white people eyes and wondered about my ancestry. Turns out I do have Native ancestry from the late 1800s, but I don't think that an ancestor from 4-5 generations back would have much of an impact on how I look today, so I think it's just a coincidence. It's kinda funny how as a kid I thought my eyes looked a little Asian, but as I grew up and saw more Asian people and made Asian friends I realized that nope the only Asian people I look like are those with double eyelids, generally obtained through surgery for celebrities.

i think the main issue people has is she changes what race she looks like by what's "trending". so she can look more black when black features are trending in media, but when it's no longer trendy she moves onto the next thing. and meanwhile, actual dark-skinned women who are actually black can't just decide they don't want to look how they do anymore. and long after the tend ends, they'll still be attacked and discriminated against for their skin color and features. and same with asians. she can make her eyes look more slanted and elongated, make her skin lighter and alter the undertone for the trend of it at the moment, but once it's all gone, she can follow what the next trend it. but when elongated eyes and asian features are no longer en vogue, actual asian people can't change. and that's what i've understood is the issue with blackfishing, asianfishing, and ariana grande. but ur also right, some ppl just literally do winged eyeliner and get called asian-fishes, as if winged liner hasn't existed for decades

[@mikimishisa]

So I'm not a Ariana fan or hater just like some of her music and think her voice is amazing. But from a neutral standpoint since I've seen her since victorious days. She's been tanning since that show before the show she never tanned. And she was forced to so I honestly can't be mad about someone who did something for years due to work and continued the habit once away from that work and now has changed due to back lash.

About the eyeliner I'm sure that most people who got accused for asian fishing for winged (even Doll) eyeliner were accused from white people (I saw it happen a lot) I don't think we asians would call someone out for winged or doll eyeliner because that's in fact not offensive I even saw someone being accused of asian fishing who wasn't even wearing makeup

People sometimes exgerate their accusations. One African girl on tiktok got called out for Asian fishing because she had monolids and wore long eyeliner to the point that she had to show her face without any makeup to prove her eyes were naturally monolids. I think there's something wrong with associating certain features with certain races since different ethnic groups have different traits that may be associated with another race

Why call it "asian fishing" if it's only gonna refer to east Asia? Asia isn't just Korea, japan, Vietnam or China. There's a lot more than those countries and if someone is gonna refer to "asian fishing" They should use it in the context of the whole of asia. And may I correct you as a South Asian that east Asians and south Asians do NOT look the same. Your stereotypical east Asian will have a monolid, have a small forehead, look pale, thin lips and etc. However, the stereotypical south Asians have the vice versa. Double eye lids, not too big, but still big, forehead, tanned skin etc. Sure, not every asian looks the same, but if someone refers to south asian or east Asian, this will be their first description which comes to mind.

[@Beldamsansmerci]

Your point about whether Ariana has actually claimed to be a diff. race- no, but she and her team have actively and consistently made use of racialized codes to paint her as ethnically ambiguous, buckets of spray tan and styling choices, but also the way she speaks. I haven’t heard any interviews with Ariana grande for a while, but when she was in her seven rings era especially, a lot of her speech mannerisms were clearly coded as aave- she is trained to mimic, after all- and she would “ switch”depending on the context. See also her twitter feed, her use of “finna,” and “out of pocket,” etc. this is a new “aesthetic” for her, but the sad things is that a person’s actual race and lived experiences can ignored and used by a rich white celeb as an aesthetic to begin with. With her, the motive and end results will always be her appropriating a different culture and race.

[@AATCgal]

exactly, people forget she’s not an idiot, she’s intentionally changing her aesthetic to change with the times. during her thank u next era she would horribly appropriate aave and showcased her “childhood best friend” (a black woman who’s name escapes me at the moment) and profited off of black culture. now that she’s going for a more ambiguous/east asian loon that “childhood best friend” is nowhere to be found and the aave usage has dropped off. i don’t hate ari or anything but she’s still doing some fucked up things.
