not pretty
She won miss world 1994 I suggest you stop getting bitter here and it seems you do have a problem with non white people with achievements don’t you!
She looks Indian! I can see perhaps Persian. Not white or hispanic at all.
Kashmir people from Northern India have light eyes.
1% of Northern Indians look like her.
She looks very South Indian tho. I’m from the same place as her and have lighter eyes too.
How is it racist to find blue eyes attractive? In Korea people prefer pale skin and bigger eyes despite the fact most people have small eyes and use skin whitening creams. In India they prefer colored eyes, so what? It’s simply a different standard of beauty. In america we consider the all american woman to be blonde, tan, big boobed with a slim waist but how many natural blondes do we really got and how many women are naturally tanned? Most people bake in the sun to get that look. Every country has their standard of beauty. Damn it’s like appreciating white beauty has become racist. Unbelievable.
Cause racism will never be a preference.
Yes. It is. The human race has been doing that for thousands of years. People qualifying and disqualifying other people as potential mates because of genetic & behavioral traits they have. Stop trying to shame people to be in relationships they don’t want to be in, just so you can feel better about yourself. It’s selfish and pathetic.
Just out of curiosity, to play devil’s advocate so to speak, what about women with uncommon traits? The “exceptions to every rule” adage?
Also out of curiosity what do you mean by Latin American? Do you actually mean mestizos? Europeans mixed with native Americans? Or solely the NAs that adopted the Latin languages? Or both?
The moderators on this website keeps taking down what I response to you. They even edited my original comment that you replied to.
If you want me to tell you my full uncensored answer; type your email in a response when you see this comment to you.
As for your questions about Latin Americans, the answer is….Yes, to both.
Dang. Yeah I see the edit, as I remember your original comment. I guess it gets too far into exclusionary tactics, which is too close to an -ism, and they don’t want to allow the discussion of the merits of mate selection, based on, let’s say, desired or undesired metrics. The site isn’t here for us to expound our personal and/or interpersonal views…
They’re right, it’s not really the appropriate place. We, as commentators and contributors may sometimes from time to time talk about phenotypical traits, in the cases of designating, assuming, or classifying heritage, but we tend to try to steer clear of giving opinions beyond: he looks like he could be from X, she looks like she has X ancestry, somewhere down the line.
They’ll leave up innocuous comments like beautiful, gorgeous, handsome, hot, etc.. Or would marry, would have kids with, but explaining in great detail as why from a genetic standpoint, other than the obvious traits of symmetrical/proportionate features, gets too close to that gray, morally ambiguous eugenics area, that no one really wants to publicly be affiliated with.
O well, we all have to learn to navigate the boundaries of our peers and/or hosts in all areas of life. Sorry I asked, sorry you put effort and time into a response, only to be edited multiple times.
My bad.
It’s an imperfect world…plus it’s their platform, we’re just guests.
It’s not exactly equitable, but when you’re in someone else’s house, it’s their rules, or else you leave.
Berating someone over and over for behavior you deem unacceptable, won’t really change anything. We’ve seen it with users in here over and over. We can’t change people, we can just try to steer their actions and opinions towards what we feel is a more balanced behavior. This goes for the administrators as well. Keep calling out what you consider unfair or biased treatment, but don’t hold your breath for actual change.
This isn’t a public utility, this is a website run by a couple of regular, ordinary people, and we, our accounts, and our comments are at their discretion.
You are racist.
