"It was apparent that colored people in the United States had been brainwashed into believing the standard for beauty was measured by the appearance of White people. " (Boutte, Gloria. (2001) Resounding Voices, p112, Boston, MA: Allyn & Bacon.)

This comment attracted my attention, thinking that 'yes, it is still apparent that colored people in the world wide has been brainwashed into believing like that, I guess.' Some Asians get the plastic surgery to look like the white. Media such as TV, the Internet, commercials keeps conveying the message of that the beauty is the appearance of the white or the white like, such as long legs, big eyes, fair-skinned, bigger nose, and so on.

What is the standard of beauty? What is the beauty of the East?
