Why do people link beauty with skin colour?

Many people when they talk and the strangest thing is they are not themselves white or blond, they tend to see fair skin, coloured eyes, straight and blond hairs as the most beautiful attributes.





Isn't that a slave mentality? What do you personally think about this type of behaviour?

Why do people link beauty with skin colour?
I think people that think like that are being narrow minded. I see at least some beauty in every woman of every adult age regardless of color or race or hair color.
Reply:You chose a good answer. There is beauty in every person, and it doesn't matter what color your skin is. I think people who look only at a person's outside appearance and not at the spirit within are very closed minded, and are deeply plugged into sensory pleasure. Report It

Reply:to many close minded people who can't see beauty for what it really is
Reply:because they are crazy, but there are a few colored selection of people who are beautiful it all depends on the type of people that person likes. everyones diffrent cha kno
Reply:Slave mentality.

Reply:it is not true actually those people considered to be stupid.and beauty is in eye of beholder,a lot out there black white or yellow are beautiful.
Reply:Unfortunately not everyone thinks the way you and I do.. Lots of narrow minded people
Reply:people have different tastes...what you are describing is the medias portrayal of beauty, which is distorted and disgusting... Everyone is different, some people think breasts are the most important, while others think feet are what makes or breaks a woman. skin color the same way, most black girls i see are kinda ugly (bone facial structure and stuff...) but i have seen some VERY beautiful black women (i am a white male FYI) But ultimately, a womans personality is what is the final say in whether i think shes beautiful or not, not race, or hair, or eyes or skin...
Reply:Beauty lies inside the eye of another youthful dream


That doesnt sell its soul for self-esteem


Beauty lies inside desire and every wayward heart redeemed





Dont forget to be the way you are


Dont go and sell your soul for self-esteem





forgot which group's lyrics this is but it perfectly says wat i wanted to convey!
Reply:Difficult to generalize, but individual preferences run the entire range of possibility, there really isn't a "norm" when it comes to what people find attractive. The idea of only socializing with your own tribe/ethnic group is an artificial social constraint and very much part of the slave mentality. If anything, evolution favors mixing the gene pool.





Sure, mass media has played a role in promoting certain images of beauty but the modeling industry today is very diverse, and I think it's more fundamental than that.





In most cases it's simply an attraction to the exotic, people finding attributes which they don't commonly see in themselves or their daily lives as something desirable. Just like some white men are obsessed with black women, and some asian men have a thing for blondes, it's just not unusual or noteworthy.





The age-old saying- opposites attract! It's true...
Reply:I don't think it's a slave mentality, just a preference for beauty, or, more likely, the media pounding a certain beauty standard into our brains. It's sad that more people of color don't see their skin tones as beautiful, but merely holding a preference for that which you are not doesn't mean you're being discriminatory or self-depricating.





I find height and long limbs beautiful, but I don't possess them- does that make me not love myself? No, I can appreciate shorter and closer together, but I can still hold the ideal of beauty.





It's just very hard to dictate aesthetics, you know?
Reply:i guess thats the new thing now that everyone likes
Reply:It's not slave mentality. All societies have standards of beauty.


In America, Hollywood introduced the idea of the blonde bombshell. The image has lasted because it has a carefree personality associated with it. Dark hair and features have a more brooding, serious nature associated with them.





But, you're wrong. Most people do not prefer light skin and blonde hair.
