There will always be a beauty standard. ALWAYS. This is irrefutable. I definitely understand the impulse behind this sentiment as "everyone is beautiful" as an extremely average person myself, but by saying everyone is (physically) beautiful, really means no one is beautiful.

What about that one asian dancer, and that one white dancer? Does an asian woman count as a woman of color? Or is she just "white enough"? Is she appropriating black culture?

I don't think that having money is the reason for true skill. That's the crux of it, a skill is EARNED, yes the ability to afford luxury ingredients in this case is part of it, but the reason a skill is considered a skill is because one works hard at it. It's completely unfair that kids with less resources do start…

I think talent as a whole is pretty bullshit concept, most people worth their salt in anything came by it as hard work and dedication, something that money can't buy. It's obvious to me those kids loved cooking, and were lucky enough to have parents to provide an avenue for that.

Which without an educated populace, will be even more insurmountable. It's definitely a valid point, and an issue that affects many, many people, but I just don't think it will get better if the message we send is that a degree or higher education isn't worth it. Our school systems need drastic reform, that is for…

Standards are hypocritical if you do not hold yourself up to those same standards. Odor and grooming standards all around please.

Maybe I'm just picky, but for the short two weeks I was on okc, the volume of the messaging didn't yield any real... I guess options? I'm also wary about "yellow fever," the industry I'm in has an unusually high number of asian fetishists.

My friend Chris deals with the same thing as he has a pretty common and normal surname as well, he wears glasses(he does have a prescription, just not bad enough for daily wear) to interviews to not come off as "threatening." Legit horrible.

My issue with this costume is that just because people are promising WORST make this costume not so bad!? People are responsible for their own feelings and actions, one bad decision that causes a bad reaction is less awful than the original implication? What's the responsibility ratio on this? Her costume sucks, the…

It also depends on the way you pose, if I stand normally, no thigh gap, if I set my feet a bit apart, push out my backside, boom, thigh gap. That's why models in ads always push out their butts. Ridiculous pose to do irl.

I wouldn't say women do it to each other just to be bitchy, more like consumer industry has sold young women an image of an ideal that many feel pressured to conform to in order to buy into the increasingly narrow beauty standard that is sold to us for profit and our society's increasing obsession with physical…

Wine gives me awful hangovers no matter how little or how much I drink. But gotta say, nothing beats the image of holding an entire wine bottle to your face and drunkenly singing disney songs to drown out the inner sorrow.

I feel like I have to point out that, that this sentiment itself is also problematic. Paler Asians are not exactly rare, especially when you head north or east. The fact that they don't look different enough to be considered progress is worrying, because Asians are some of the most underrepresented groups in media,…

All asian(anywoman) women who want curled and dramatic eyelashes, I'd recommend some Shu Uemura eyelash curlers, and bam, mascara wonders. Seriously I never thought I could have lashes till I started using this.

There's always been a disturbing trend in portraying relationships in media, unhealthy, co-dependent and abusive relationships are being seen as deep or romantic or even enviable... Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey jumps into my mind, I just don't... get... it?

I've loved cheese when I was a size 14 and when I was a size 4. Cheese is lovable.

Times like this I'm glad I'm from a culture where it's completely sane and normal to keep your last name. That being said I can't tell if I will keep my last name or not, mostly cause marriage is so not on my radar. Probably will though, cause ego.

I feel like I have to point out that she has a point. I don't like her, I don't like her tone, I will never be as fit as her (and actually don't really care) but almost all the vitriol being thrown at her is coming from a lot of extremely personal projection.

Wait so, if she had said she was proud then this whole thing could have been avoided? Natch. Then everyone would just call her shallow and vain, and probably a slew of other wonderful names.

I forgot to say that I agree.
