its a sad case becauase deep down,all any of us really want is to be accepted for what we are.instead we start despising each other more and more.only way to cure it is for the impossable.a world for whites,blacks,asians,etc.hold on.then you would need a world for pretty people of 1 race,fat people,spottty,deformed.wheres it stop…..in the state of how people think we are never going to accept each other regardless of whatever we do.because we are all taught if they dont look like you,dont believe in what you do,dont talk like you,got more or less money than you.its not acceptable.people just want to be what they are as looks go and be accepted for it….never going to happen.so lets just keep killing each other till there is no one left.and let the ones that can accept each other have the planet,they deserve it.its not for the rest of us.

Wow, this is really sad. I know this sounds crazy but you either have to look in the mirror and see your own beauty or you need to move to a place where your looks are more accepted. For instance, as soon as I saw the Indian guy, I thought,”Wow, he’s hot”. I think that there’s plenty of people in the US that would find him to be very, very attractive. So why doesn’t he market himself globally? There’s also the woman who compares herself to her husband’s skin. I can’t even imagine what he must think about his wife underneath. Either he thinks that he’s better than her (and then treats her like he is) or he has to think that he’s married a rather sad woman!

I remember when I was younger i used to look at my nose and hated it. Then as I got older, it blended in with my looks. Not only that but I started looking around at white people and started to notice that regardless to being considered by some as more attractive, they still weren’t happy. They still tan themselves risking cancer to be darker, they get butt injections and boob jobs to be as curvy as I am. At the end of the day no matter what you look like you’re not going to be satisfied until you like who you are inside and out. A true warrior is not one who conforms to other people but one who can conquer his/her own mind.

And its too bad that the people in this documentary who idolized Michael Jackson for successfully altering his skin color can’t see that he died unhappy of drug over doses, never being able to come to terms with his psychological issues.

I feel sorry for them. But I do believe it has everything to do with a person’s upbringing. If a child is not taught self-awareness and love and is bombarded with negative self-images/thoughts this is what happens.

How tragic that they will spend all this money/time/energy not to mention put their lives at risk under a surgeon’s knife because they see this as a physical problem instead of a mental one. If they don’t deal with the issues within it doesn’t matter how small they get their nose or how light they bleach their skin, they will never be satisfied.

Little do they realize a lot of white people aren’t even happy with the way they, themselves look and are addicted to plastic surgery. They are trying to emulate a LIE.

Especially if they were really thinking “globally” they would realize white people are not the majority on this planet. SMH

i could relate to jet when she talked about feeling uncomfortable around a lot of black people. while i’ve never been gang attacked, i have had from the ages of 11-15 black kids i went to school with affect me psychologically deeply. they were always the people who made from of my west african features and treated me like crap because i “talked white” and wasn’t into the stereotypical black things. because of that, i don’t know how to act around most black people or how to approach them. even in college, some black people make jokes on the side about me “acting white” and i have to be extra careful that i don’t let the real me show–that i remain neutral in all situations.

yet at the same time i know how racist and ignorant of their own privilege white people can be, which is why i am actual friends with very few of them. i can associate with them and talk to them, but all of my friends with the exception of 1 person is black. it sucks on a lot levels. yet i think me being proud to be black despite how other black people may have treated me is the giant difference between me and jet.

i think she needs to see a psychiatrist just as much as the others. if she had said she was ONLY getting the bump on her nose fixed–even if it was a complete lie and she was secretly beaming at the idea of having a “white” nose, i wouldn’t care. but she spent the whole time talking about her “horrible african nose” and how “wide” it was and at the end she even said her new nose made her feel wealthier. i don’t know about you, but i get my worth from my accomplishments and feeling like i am contributing positively to this world. i thought her new nose was OK, but i do think she has a lot of self-hate she needs to work through.
