This is how I see the editors at the Chicago Sun-Times when they allowed that headline to pass on.

Ha. How can they not get that, for example, women in India want to look lighter like Aishwarya Rai, not lighter like Nicole Kidman; Korean women want eyes and nose like 송혜교, not like Renee Zellweger and so on?
Yeah, it's important to talk about why we as society are willing to do some violent stuff to our bodies in…

The thing that really grinds my gears, if you will, is that there actually is a lot of feature diversity in the Asian populations that tend to get targeted by these articles. So when you think you're protecting us Asian women you're really just falling into the old "All Asians look alike!" trap. Some have small eyes,…

63 women, all of whom want nose jobs period, screams small sample size and biased pool.

Do you really think that adjective only applies to men? You're still a racist asshole. "You silly shallow Korean women should be aspiring to be this politician. Oh wait she's kind of shitty and reactionary? Lol I was telling people what to do and I don't even know anything about the people I'm suggesting people…

You do recognize that black cats and "Black" people are not the same color, yes?

When you adopt a kid, you must must must consider their ethnicity in the course of your parenting. As a person of color, they will experience micro insults/aggressions, and (likely) outright discrimination as a result of their skin color. Parents MUST be equipped to deal with both.

You just compared human orphans to dogs and cats, as if the two issues are comparable. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of that.

Wow.

It doesn't matter if it was your point, because it is just not a comparable situation. Now, if the pageants we are discussing included South Korean women and women from other Asian countries,* it would be a better comparison. That's not the case here, though.

Actresses: Lee Young Ae, Kang Hye-Jung, Song Hye Kyo, Go Ara (she did get her ears pinned back, but face is the same).

I think people forget that there is a diversity of facial features among Asians, and that the ones who have plastic surgery are trying to look like their more "attractive" peers with specific features.

…

Whoever wrote this article clearly didn't even care to look up any K-pop groups for reference. Why get familiar with your subject when you think you already know all there is to know? One line about Girl's Generation does not mean you've taken a look at the relationship between pop culture and beauty norms, especially…

this used to be one of my favorite blogs, but recently half the articles sound like they were all written by the same self-flagellating white woman who gets off on the thought that the whole world is clamoring to be her. Its white guilt at its most obnoxious. For a blog that really built its name on breaking down…

What a dumb title for a post that boils down to "lets ignore Korean pop culture, they just want to be white". It's clearly way deeper. YoonA, for example, is considered the prettiest member of Girls Generation, but looks the least white, and other girls in her same group have "whiter" features. I think she's probably…

This Conservative daughter of a dictator and her policies and stance on her father's history is a significant risk to South Korea's democracy. Surgery or not, most South Korean women are (hopefully) aware enough to know that this woman is no role model. But thanks for telling them what to emulate because you obviously…

why don't we just save jezebel time. just write the article "koreans are fuckin tiny-eyed dog eaters who get plastic surgury because they are fuckin ugly and wish they were white." we KNOW YOU THINK THIS, just say it already. tired of seeing these racist articles masked as, i dont know what the fuck it is, but i…

I wish it surprised me, but it's easier for them to think that people from non-"Western" countries want to be like them, then think that maybe these societies just developed these unhealthy ideals and tools to achieve them, because of a multitude of factors.

Jezebel really needs to stop running these articles or start cross-posting articles on the subject written by people with some better information and perspective.

...No. No, it is not.

What is this, the 8th time Jezebel has run this article?
