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?
Wow! People were trying to say the woman in that picture was black? Chile mental illness is realThis 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...

LMFAOOOO
So light skinned women can have “small” noses and be black but dark skinned women cant?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.
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!So light skinned women can have “small” nose and be black but dark skinned women cant?
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.
Naomi has a Chinese grandfather. So she is mixed despite being dark skinned.Isn't naomi dad biracial
latino isnt a race... latinos can be white black and asian lolI 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.
You know what I mean, don't play dumb.latino isnt a race... latinos can be white black and asian lol
im correcting u.... u sound like a ignorant 12 year old white girl saying that lol js!!!!You know what I mean, don't play dumb.
Naomi doesn't even know who her dad isIsn't naomi dad biracial
Naomi has a Chinese grandfather. So she is mixed despite being dark skinned.
She said that her paternal grandmother was Chinese, not her grandfather.Naomi doesn't even know who her dad is
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
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 grandparentShe said that her paternal grandmother was Chinese, not her grandfather.
mariah is literally white passing tho. I didnt find out she was mixed till a couple years ago,always thought she was like a spicy white or white latina. she also uses a lot of fake tan her natural skin tone is very white , she looks orange peach skinned at times then paleI don’t know sis lol. Mariah Carey is mixed for sure and Naomi Campbell is definitely black to me.
Yes a mixed white passing woman, in her younger days she looked like a beckymariah is literally white passing tho. I didnt find out she was mixed till a couple years ago,always thought she was like a spicy white or white latina. she also uses a lot of fake tan her natural skin tone is very white , she looks orange peach skinned at times then pale
On her Wikia page, it said that her paternal grandmother carried the surname, Ming. I just went based off of that.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
The science of beauty has nothing to do with whether your features are broad or narrow.I saw this tweet just now and this person made a great point
