everything from the 'Western eye' to skin bleaching, it seems Asian(at least industrialized ones) are no longer interested in their unique look but rather the look like of a typical Caucasian person.countries like S.Korea and japan are the largest importers of hair dye products ( particularly light brown and red). 60% of the population is a abandoning black hair to imitate their favorite western actor's hair color.i also noticed in Anime and games, that a ridiculous percent of the character look white(e.i Ichigo of bleach, Cloud Strife of FF VII and many more), yet they have typical Japanese names, when these characters clearly look nothing like the Japanese folks.i asked Japanese student Shingo Sato, what's with the fascination with the West? his answer:" everything is cooler and different over there and we just wanna have that". To me, an American, nothing is cooler than the rest of the World. i really wish that these Asians wake up and stop following and start leading their own lifestyles. be happy in your own skin...eyes, hair and general look.Or else the world will cease to be unique...

btw, i have plenty examples to showcase but i'm terribly tired...... maybe some other time.

They can be whatever pleases them, no? It is not like you can control aculturation, or even, should. Besides, their typical asian look might seem 'unique' in the west, but I'm sure over there it's massively common.

Anime characters sometimes have blue or green hair. What race does that make them want to be?

Ever wonder why most anime characters have huge, round eyes? Because of their exposure to Disney during the reconstruction after WWII.

Hey, my friend once told me, "The locked door is the one you want in the most." Maybe they just want to see what it is and then they'll wake up to have their own identities.

asians dont have a "unique" look. they are half the population of the earth. that kinda makes them the norm, if anything.

"white" people get tans real and artificial, they dye their hair, the get their hair straightened or curled. they change the size of their thighs and breasts. they change the shape of their eyebrows. they change their noses, chins, cheeks, eyes.

what is so very wrong if asians do the same?

Well, as much as I disagree with culture mixing, at least the asians can be tolerated, because as much as they force a part of their culture into ours, at least they have the good additions of hard work and regard for laws, that other races (including the ever-retarded Wigger sub-culture) do not

With the Caucasian race more and more adopting the black 'gangsta' image which always results in some form of criminal activity and no true regard to Family, Friends or Law, at least with asian around, they remind us what it is to sit down, stfu, and work for a living with a real devotion to family and friends

culture mixing isn't just in the asian culture. I beleive if anything Caucasian american citizens are the largest percentage of culture mixing you can find. Let's start with white boys trying to act gangster and trying to adapt themselves to a "blacker" style. After stepping past that note. you have to look at the incredible population of crazed white fan boys and girls obsessed with the anime and manga culture. I don't know if it's taken to quite an extreme as dying skin colors but I beleive the white american population is responsible for far more culture blendingthen the asian populace could ever be.

It is interesting to note that Asians are the most likely to be married to someone of another race, at least in the US, the rate is around 50%. Furthermore, its a great thing that Asians want to be like us, at least from a social harmony standpoint, I strongly support people who take the effort to assimilate.

To me, an American, nothing's more normal and American than Asian features. Because I grew up in a community that was mostly Asian. Your post seems to imply that America is the Land of Boring White People, and while that may be true where you live, where I live I'm a minority, and most of the people my age are living the "American" lifestyle--which means dying their hair different colors, buying designer bags and sunglasses, etc.

People should be whatever they want to be and whatever they think is attractive. I think some styles like ganguro are dead ugly, but that's not my scene, it's theirs. Me, I always wanted to be Asian like my friends growing up, but I don't think that reflected self-hate or a "follower" mentality--it was just the norm around me and I thought it was beautiful.

Sweeping generalizations for the win.

And white folks are just as likely, if not more likely, to be a butterface than Asians. And if you're going to be that shallow, I'm almost certain race doesn't really matter to you.

This is why I love being in LA and really enjoyed where I went to college. I've found that Asian women are the best to date. They've got great food, good values and are beautiful. Obviously this isn't always the case but I've been very lucky so far.

As for the OP, just a restatement of a lot of others, who cares if people want to change how they look.

It's a term I heard boys (and I do mean boys) using when I taught public school. It's a homophone derived from the phrase "Nice body, but her face..." Elide the H from "her" and you get "but 'er face", which sounds like "butterface".

I wasn't claiming it was couth. Just appropos.

Not everything. That implies depth enough to appreciate both a smokin' body AND the personality it contains.

The term is used either by objectifiers in complete sincerity or by those who want the quickest way to describe someone without wading through PC language. I've heard it used to describe people of both genders.

I recently brought this up with a Japanese friend of mine after I saw the eye surgery thing in some asian magazines. He thought it was perfectly normal while I argued it seemed extreme and weird. He didn't understand until I said, "It would be like me getting surgary to have asian looking eyes!" From his speechlessness, I gathered that the thought disturbed him.

Actually asians do want to be "white" to a certain extent but its not what you think.

Historically it was the nobility that did not have to work and thus did not get tans. As a result, its cultural among asians that "white" skin is more beautiful.

Similarly large eyes is actually regarded as good luck and pretty. This is much harder to explain but I believe it stems from Buddist beliefs.

In conclusion, I suppose you could say that Asians want to be "white" but its actually more cultural. Most asians perfer larger eyes and pale skin because of cultural and historical traditions rather then because of some strange desire to change their race. :)

Historically it was the nobility that did not have to work and thus did not get tans. As a result, its cultural among asians that "white" skin is more beautiful.
That's the same world-over. In Europe tans used to mean you were involved in outdoor manual labour, and thus of the peasant class - hence the nobility using make-up to make themselves appear very white.
However, when industrialisation kicked in, there was the massive exodus from farm to city. End result was anyone in an office job was white and pasty, and so looked 'upper class'.
With the advent of plane travel, this allowed the ultra-wealthy to now spend their time jet-setting around Europe. Thus having a tan now indicated you were so wealthy you could afford to spend your days lazing about on the Riveria. This is where the West is now.
In Asia, they're still getting past the labour-intensive farming, tan=peasantry, level. Give them another few years and they'll be where the West is.

i'd say asians ARE "white", as if there was such a thing, but as far as why they market to white dominated nations and cultures, especially gear their visual story telling to this market, is simply because it IS the most lucrative market for such products.

also because they've been repeatedly shafted historically by white dominated cultures for failing to kiss those white dominated culture's assess.
