this is not just the case in manga. these beauty standards translate from real life. my friend's white af and she's got naturally red hair and freckles and every time she's in japan, the people there are (respectfully) all over her lol. maybe it's got something to do with... idk... you know, asians see asians every day? just like i see white people every day. i think white people are ok looking? but when i see people of color i'm always like??? wow??? they're so much prettier???

I guess that makes alot of sense... or atleast i would like this to be the case... and not media brainwashing... u hear about it alot in the states but i didnt really know if that translated in other countries but then reading manga i was like so people think this way everywhere?? But im hoping your explanation is correct... i am mixed so i see both blacks n whites everyday... maybe thats why i feel neutral either way on beauty standards
Anyone else find it weird that mangas always link foreigner(white) with beautiful... if you have mixed blood you are thought of as more beautiful in mangas... feels weird... asians are also beautiful... so is every other race... u dont have to be mixed or white to be beautiful
