What are your thoughts about this, "Gobalization"?

It seems to me that Britian is not good for POC's self esteem, and mental health : \

It's really up to said POC wether or not Britian is good for them, I don't hear reports of them living in "distress".....

Gobalization, other than the lost of one countries self-identity , doesn't seem that bad (Keep in mind I'm one of the "sheep)

I'm just in a sour mood now......
So, you're all for globalization AT THE EXPENSE ov a people's culture, heritage, & ethnic idenity? This is a GOOD thing to you?
That one doctor, the "It's globalization11111" one, I kind of want to brick his house, especially with his last comment about how through surgery all races can achieve the appearance of a higher race. That race would be white dude based off of what I've seen here.

I can sympathize with some of these people to an extent. That lady, Jet, who started drawing away from other Black people after being attacked by a gang of Black girls, I had a similar experience and the lady who began to experiment with skin lighteners due to messages in her own culture and hated how dark she was, I've been there too. In the African American community where I lived lighter skin was considered more attractive and then to make matters worse, I got into the Gothic subculture with it's emphasis on pale white skin. I never used skin bleach, but I used to slather myself pretty heavily in sunblock, I wore long sleeves even in the summer and I have quite the collection of parasols. I still have a weirdness about sunlight. I also feel the lady who got the breast reduction. I too have very large breasts and I HATE them. I have a time finding clothes to fit and most guys seem to be repulsed by them. In fact, the only guys who I seem to attract lately are either a) white dudes with serious jungle fever and I'm the only black girl, b) dudes with serious big tit fetishes or c) creepy old dudes. I'm actually more envious of Asian girls boobs than Caucasian. I personally would love the idea of being small chested.

Ugh...plastic surgery could be used for all kinds of crazy neat things but, people decide to use it for looking like more of the same, for looking more White and all that infused that term with meaning.
So i've watched the 1st pt ov B,N,T, so far. It's a very good docu. And as expected, very depressing & typical, so far as the subject matter goes. Regarding that one model "Jet"... oi vey. What can i say? It's obvious that this woman suffers from severe mental illness on Malkinian proportions. The fact alone that a 28 yr old woman is STILL playing with barbie dolls tells me [pretty-much] everything i'd even want to know about the lunatic.
Is this what money does to people? yesh!

And the other woman, ov Bangladesh heiritage, who looks up to that child molester as some sort ov "hero", that's just ghoulish. And she has children too, how? Why?!
I saw myself in all of the people in this documentary, except for the two women who wanted to "fix" their breasts. Especially when talking about smaller noses, lighter skin, being taller than 5' 2"...

And reading your response, I maybe understand Jet more, with trying to fit in the sorta lifestyle she was in. I was having a hard time grapsing that concept...

It bothers me that they all look up to him. He was the poster boy for self hate yet they use him as inspiration, and for that lady, as a goal (with his skincolor). Everytime I watch documentaries like this it offsets me a little. Its not the surgeries alone, it's that each person had said that they want to look white. That's what bothers me the most

what those that are eager to bleach themselves fell to realize is that the substantial origin in which all things came from is from and out of the deepest hue (BLACK) when the sky at night surrounds with darkness that is a glimpse of the eternal (BLACKNESS) that we all come from... So i would say that the truely profound state of a physical being would be that of the likeness of deep space, the place in which we all came from..

THE DARK CAME BEFORE LIGHT... LIKE BEAUTY BEFORE BEAST..
so blacks that struggle with excepting themselves should go beyond the bullshit fabricated ideal of the ultimate beauty being someone that has a lighter complexion..

I KNOW, right! That's pretty-much the concept i've had for years. "Black" is just such a natural, profound, equalizing state. Every sort ov illumination comes from darkness. We ALL come from darkness & when our run on Earth ends we return to darkness. It's just a natural cycle.

The Indian male model in the 1st part - man, he's something else. I mean, the guy's a brick house, you could wash clothes on his stomach! How can anyone as well built as him, with a gorgeous throphy wife & [already] a good modeling career, have such fucked up self-esteem issues? I just can't understand it...
"deracialization" is such a bullshit term...
people are idiots: skin color =/= beauty. crudely, it's facial symmetry and how well your features fit together.
(but yeah, it is tough being brown/black and into goth aesthetics though...y'know w/o looking ashy :P...sorry it was funny to me. :P)
and these ppl can't be serious about idolizing michael jackson's "transformation"...they producers probably asked them a leading q on jacko because who the hell wants to go to that extreme?
and omfg to the leg extension surgery. (lmao at the clicking...so gross and bizarre it's funny)

but, really, i'm not mad at these people because it must be so painful for them (either way)... and it's a shame to have so much sadness and anger pent up inside that your body is literally subjected to such violence for some (or a false sense of) peace of mind.
I disagree with you on "deracialization" being a bullshit term and that skin color =/= beauty. Beauty, at least as I've understood it, is a sum of all parts including skin color. As for the deracialization thing I think it's totally a legit term if you look at the folks in this video being that what they are trying to do is eliminate the ophysical characteristics that make them look a Black or Indian or whatever. However, that makes it seem like White is some sort of racial default setting or something.

'Fredrica', the English MILF ov Jamacian heritage, oh brother.
Funny how she consults her church for "spiritual guidence" right before her breast reduction. This is what i don't get about these damned christians. In her mind, what is she thinking - that God messed up? In that case, why don't she just "pray" for perky boobs? Idiot.
She whines about her boob size & shape. Well, she's only 29 & already has 3 children. She's easily 50 lbs. over-weight. DUH!

The Chinese woman who wants bigger boobies "just like White/Western women"? Umm, ok. As if boob size & being White or "Western" were mutually exclusive to one another.

The Malaysian guy who wants to be taller - i've got nothing. Life sucks for him.
Oh, & my Black hat's off to the radio Geoff Schumann. WE ought to make THAT brotha an AP honorary!

To quote Fredrica: "If i'm doin' something wrong, [God]he'll forgive anyways." !?0_O?! Is THIS how religious people typically think?
And then she bleaches her hair blonde [which is actually orange]. Is that part ov her "improvement" as well?
