I’m faaaar from an expert, and am white, but one thing that I frequently notice is the lack of variance shown of Black women’s hair, usually shaved or with straight hair rather than in protective styles or freely styled, and how many models who do “make it” in the industry are often light-skinned. I’m definitely wanting to learn more!

I agree it is pedophilic, on thing I have noticed is that there is a double standard for white women and women of color, one of the things I have noticed too is the lighter a woman is the more she will be fetishized if she has curves, if she is dark and has curves she will be more likely be body shamed for having big hips and breasts. But also how quickly trends change and how everyone wanted to have a butt a few years ago and now they are getting surgery to take out their bbls.

The shift from what is the trending body has gone back to the Victorian TB days, where you need to be skinny as a woman. Any form of muscle or body fat is bad, when before people wanted it and when it was trendy. Unfortunately one of these major connections is also how the media portrays black women and white women. Where black women are “more masculine” ex: Michelle Obama and people thinking she was trans

With white women, they are often portrayed as unable to have a butt and only boobs and very weak and simple minded. There is a stigma against both types of bodies, and these overall create the trend on how bodies are viewed. We live in an era that is slowly getting more racist everyday, this furthering the change and look at how media wants women to be portrayed. They want to dumb us down, weaken us, and pit us against each other using jealousy.
