What Do You Think about The Eurasian Beauty Myth ?

Do you think that Eurasian and mixed-race Asian women in general definitely receive negative attention for their looks, and that results in their objectification,





I just found out that my boyfriend like to keep his male friends guessing as to the exact ethnic make-up of me. He said that this guessing game not only makes the woman seem more exotic and desirable, it also serves to reinforce the trophyist mentality some men have towards women...





What do you think about this?What Do You Think about The Eurasian Beauty Myth ?
I dunno about any myth, but your boyfriend is definitely treating you like a trophy/posession.





btw, I dunno about any negative attention for Eurasian/mixed-Asian women. Not from me anyway.What Do You Think about The Eurasian Beauty Myth ?
Firstly you sound like an attention whore.





Secondly everyone is beautiful in their own way. Beauty is subjective and the myth about Eurasians being more beautiful than Asian / Africans / whatever is just that ... a myth perpetuated to relegate non-whites in general. There are beautiful women who don't fit the ';Eurasian'; stereotypes like Zhang Zi Yi, Aishwarya Rai or Grace Jones and they are gorgeous!
i think he may just be really proud that you are with him and he wants to show you off!





You are gorgeous, and i think all eurasian woman are, and yes there os always that negative attention, you of all people will know if your boyfriend is acting like a jerk or if he is really just showing off how gorgeous you are!
Black women are always being put down by other people.Black people in general are.A lot


of people have been socialized and conditioned to


think the Euro look is the only form of beauty.


I don't let it get to me though.I'm better than that.


I don't see what's so special or great about that


look but they control the messages and images we


see and they can mold how we feel and think about


ourselves.
No I don't think they do at all. I am Australian/Thai and I love to keep people guessing as to what my heritage is. They come up with lots of nationalities - it's crazy. When by boyfriend tells people who have never met me that i am half thai they say ';wow, she must be a beauty';. Generally I think people's views are positive. Relax - I am sure you are very beautiful and your boyfriend knows it and is proud to have you!
ummm


white with ';yellow';, is that what you mean?


because Eurasian can also mean all the people from the northern part of the Middle East, where Europe meets Asia.


I honestly have ZERO comment on your BF's behavior. I find Americans very schizo about their origins: when you read about Jessica Alba or Keanu Reeves, they feel obliged to mention their whole family tree and identify every region from which they got their traits. I feel like I'm reading the lifeline of a bastard dog, not a human being.


I have probably lots of origins, but I'm content with calling myself human.
I think your b/f is a douche. It sounds like he's objectifying you right in front of your face. Why should he care what his friends think of you??? He needs games to make you ';desirable?'; That's pathetic in my opinion. If you're beautiful, then you should be treated like a beautiful individual, proud of your heritage. Don't have him conceal it for some stupid game to impress his friends... I'm sorry, but you need to see through his crap.
This applies to all people of mixed race.





I don't anything about a ';Eurasian beauty myth';. I haven't found such relationships to have nicer children anyway.
All mixed people in general look beautiful. The Eurasian thing being a myth if it to applied to only that group alone.
I think Eurasian women are beautiful.
No - you're just making up shat because you think you're hot and you want everyone to know.





how desperate for attention are you should be the real question?
this question has been on here many times before...but personally i think its what you said...a myth
You don't believe to myth.Beautiful of women is giving God.
