Whenever dsbw are praised, some people feel the need to call them out for having "Eurocentric" features, but most black people accept mixed people as black and black only. No "Eurocentric" features even though a lot of mixed people have a high percentage of white admixture. I just think some people don't want to see dsbw be great, so they have to knock them down a peg somehow.

And these same people who suggest that we don’t hype up dsbw who are Eurocentric almost never hype up dsbw who only have Afrocentric features. What are your thoughts?
Can you give examples that match this description?

This is so true. People can find the blackness in people who are mostly white but have a problem with Africans with smaller noses. It's so weird. People on this do it allllll the time.

This thread is a good example:
UPDATE: Phyllis Hyman was fully black. “Italian mother” is a rumor. Pic of her parents:

Her mother looks very white but she was considered "black" because of the times. Fonts were arguing up and down she looked black...
Wow! People were trying to say the woman in that picture was black? Chile mental illness is real

No one talks about this with light skins because the conversation started with dark skin models with small noses being the only ones hyped up. Anyone that brings up preferred features knows that light skin is included. This is a convo among people who showcase the beauty of dark skin women and some of the women are wondering why the noses are all on the smaller side.
So light skinned women can have “small” noses and be black but dark skinned women cant?

That’s not what I said at all, but okay. Just because your noses is small doesn’t mean your aren’t black. No one is saying these girls are white. This convo really started because some accounts that post beautiful dark-skin women on Twitter posted girls that all had the same smaller noses. Also Eurocentric doesn’t equal white, it’s a world view that centers western ideals (like beauty ideals). You can read The Beauty Ideal: The Effects of European Standards of Beauty on Black Women to learn more!

I think it’s a mixture of jealousy insecurity and colorism. A lot of us were taught that we can’t make it in life because we’re black and that dark skinned people are the least attractive so to see dsbw thriving makes some people uncomfortable and that’s where the Eurocentrism comes in. Those dsbw in the modeling industry are only successful because they have Eurocentric features!

Meanwhile it’s crickets when mixed models are mentioned.


This is very true but let's be very clear... The main people doing this to darker skin women are darker skin women and darker skin men.

I can see "Eurocentric" is the hottest word of the month right now.

The tweeter is right. I don't understand the mental gymnastics involved in saying that a dark skinned woman of all people has "Eurocentric features"...only to bend over backwards with genetic calculations explaining how someone with a whole Caucasian or Latina or Asian mother is Black.

Hiding one's bias & insecurities behind that "bLaCk CoMeS iN aLl ShAdEs!!" nonsense is not only getting old but it's stupid and pathetic.
latino isnt a race... latinos can be white black and asian lol

Isn't naomi dad biracial
Naomi doesn't even know who her dad is


Naomi has a Chinese grandfather. So she is mixed despite being dark skinned.

Has Naomi Campbell confirmed this herself? I keep hearing people repeat this but I've never heard Naomi say this straight from her own mouth

She said that her paternal grandmother was Chinese, not her grandfather.

When did she say this? Do you have a youtube reference? Because I've never heard her mention or say anything about having a Chinese grandparent
On her Wikia page, it said that her paternal grandmother carried the surname, Ming. I just went based off of that.




And she modeled for a Asian/Chinese magazine but was turned down by another major publication because she was dark sin and thought she qualified for it because she had Chinese/Asian ancestry.

The science of beauty has nothing to do with whether your features are broad or narrow.

The symmetry of your face is how close you are to phi, period. You can have the widest nose/lips on the face of the earth and as long as the portions on your face are symmetrical, you would be relatively close to phi and still beautiful/

For example. This Zimbabwean women below has a wide nose and dark skin BUT she is attractive because she has clear skin and balanced features.
