I've said it before and I'll say it again: plenty of Asian women are born with "double eyelids." While there are arguments that it is being done to look more Caucasian, there are also many arguments that this surgery is done to emulate many Asian people with similar features.

I would entertain the idea that while Chen maybe never said to herself, "I look too Chinese and I'll never be successful," she may have said to herself, "My eyes are too small and I'll never be successful." Same goes for women who get the "ethnic bump" taken out of their noses.

Are you Asian? AFAIK large eyes and double eyelids have always been considered beautiful in China. There are many tribes in China who naturally have those features. Case in point: my mother has double eyelids naturally. It's much rarer than in Europe or the US, but not at all uncommon.

No it's not. Being FROM CHINA, it's not a practice to westernize your face. A double lid is a common phenotype ALL OVER Asia but is slightly less common in East Asia. Less common phenotypes are prized in cultures throughout the world. For example, blond hair and blue eyes in Europe and the United States. The double…

I agree that this specific case is very different from South Korean plastic surgery because Julie Chen is Chinese-American and works in the USA. What's annoying is that everything vaguely Asian gets conflated into a clusterfuck of ignorant racism here on Jezebel. Couldn't they hire an Asian-American writer to handle…

Yes. Why is it that white people can tan and get butt injections but they aren't "Africanizing?"

What in the fuck? I've lost 70 pounds since February 2012 and I'm FUCKING PROUD of that. It took hard work and dedication and I feel good because I'm way healthier now and have a better relationship with food. I took pictures every month to document my weight loss and when I get to my final weight, you better believe…

I just think of the hundreds of thousands of American men who died lonely deaths in Europe, and the wives, girlfriends, mothers, fathers, and children that they left behind, all of whom suffered grievous loss, fighting exactly the thing that these scumbags stand for. They would consider this treason, aiding the…

I'm convinced everyone in my office has lung cancer. They all cough and clear their throats constantly! And it sounds exactly like what my 6th grade teacher did right before she was diagnosed with lung cancer and died (she and her spouse never smoked).

God, please think before you type. "Privilege" is something one is typically born into and cannot control. Weight does not inherently fall under this category. And the insinuation that thin/skinny people are somehow completely immune from some from of condescension, discrimination, or habitual stereotyping is also out…

I hope this doesn't stay in the gray. I am fat, my husband is thin. He is thin because he has a chronic disease that makes it difficult to gain weight and keep it on. My MOTHER makes comments about how it must be nice to be able to eat whatever you want and not gain weight. WHAT. THE. FUCK. It is not ok to police…

I got a strong whiff of hypocrisy reading this otherwise reasonable post, and wondered if it was written by Erin Gloria Ryan. Lo and behold, it was.

I am getting rather tired of the idea that others' "curiosity" is something that must always be indulged, as though they're toddlers.

Being a person of color myself, I sometimes find myself wondering about other people's ethnicities. So you know what I do? I get over it. Unless knowing their ethnicity is paramount, I just get the fuck over my curiosity. Try it white people, it works!

Dump him. Seriously, dump him. For your own sake.
