Dear white people; I've been meaning to get around to writing something somewhere about what feelings I have towards white culture.
No need for me to get specific I guess and I guess doing this here right now before I write an exam for an awesome teacher,bless his heart is better and release what might become inflammatory during my "thinking out loud writing introspection" of trying to make a heady writing. This place here is an avenue for such kinds of things but I'm gonna try to make not so serious as much as it could be.
Recently someone told me how I shouldn't be ashamed of the feelings I have critiquing other ethnic groups. As much as I'm reluctant to be called smart, I know that i'm at least smart enough to now plain ol'racism from what 's more akin to a critique which tries to go for objectivity with a non-prejudicial bias like trying to evaluate how inclusive an intragroup structure is.
I say this b/c Lord knows how I gones into borderline rants which I learned to "carve down" into critiques of East Asian cultures. Stereotypes, particulary "positive" ones b/c everyone should know better than to espouse the negative ones. It feels particularly important to me b/c speaking as a Gen Y man who grew up in schools which are in said one of the most diverse places in the world (southern urban Ontario) and I can thinking of a fair number of instances where East Asian ppl weren't "inscrutable" innately talented victory crew-members,mind you.
See there's a buncha reasons why I did that. A fascination with East Asian culture which I had developed in my in a variety of ways (Jpop being one way of course) ever since I was a toddler being one but one thing that I try to keep away from is that dang outdated stereotype of "the mysterious Orient". Do you have any idea how much that stereotyped is still milked to this day even though the Victorian era is long over?. But mainly I think it got the kick off when I thought I could click with one of my sister's friends and it made me go thru an emotional rollercoaster that I'm still trying to work thru (the leftover effects). Since then I felt more so the conviction that I'm one for debunking stereotypes. The Hispanic culture I was raised in being no execption
but I still can't find much to say about *Hispanic Canadian* culture as much as I could se Hispanic American culture.
Though I admit I might very well be having to much fun in the southwestern states to critique as well. Okay,you've seen so far how tempting it is to take several tangent till Sunday,here eh?. Look thing is recent developments have "re-awakened" my interest in, (or at least a more open reception() to white women. This is a thing to me since (key point here) when I was ~12-ish we had satellite TV and actually getting access to Hispanophonic channels from the states meant seeing contemporary music and celebrities and seeing really attractive Hispanic women made me think like " ;_; OMG all the things I've been missing out on!!"---my decade long ignoring of white women began at a time when puberty kicked off for me,ya notice ?. And there's hardly any Hispanic females in my age demographic in this city,not that I really think things'be cooler in Toronto.Now to get closer to what I'm getting at. My re-kindled ability to see white women as consistently "not-that-bad-looking" happened some time ago while,while being interested in exercise and looking up said related things even I gotta say that female fitness models even the white ones having a "good-looking quality" that shines thru,not the least b/c of the effort put into cultivating a "solid" aesthetic (I'm referring to muscle).
Now this could go on to a thing about how nervous I feel when go to the school gym not just b/c I'm cruddy at being co-ordinated for the life of me and dang the intimidation of hanging around the physically and motor-ily talented but b/c this is like where all "the beatuiful ppl" hang out (reminding me of an old episode of Family guy where Peter is invited into a club of "beautiful ppl"--I don't like or watch that show anymore but just mentioning).But h--- would I really expect anything different from a place where they're are fitness programs and early 20-somethings
?.Okay here's what I mainly wanna get out here. Your on the pedestal standards of female beauty ,white ppl;why consistently blonde haired women
?. It's made to be such an -~- overratedly rareified thing, when it isn't all that much among Caucasians except kinda for southern continental Europeans. I mean do you know how bewildering I find it when the "dumb blonde" stereotype is in cultures where natural blonde hair isn't a thing that happens very often?. And d--- it of course the stereotype has kinda f---d things up for the perception natural blonde hair women get. My great English teacher from my previous program,bless her heart kinda brought up how it was for her and that stereotype. Before I left the first high school I went to, I was careful to tell a few ppl about how I was transferring. One such person I told was a blonde haired girl who I'd known since g.9 but only the previous semester I started making a bit of rapport with and she was probably one of the smartest girls in the grade but probably wasn't anything close to the image of a "super hot blonde". Her friends went up a staircase and I told her how I waas really about to transfer before she went off to follow her frieneds I guess. And she casually said how was going to miss me, hugged me,me not cluing in to move my arms in reciprocation before she went upstairs.
..I was so surprised b/c that year I had done a lot of dumb junk and someone apparently gave enough of a crack about me to demonstrate such affection in a gesture of friendship. I stood stunned for a moment of what had happened and what it meant,even though I felt that the rapport I'd made with her had been another instance of a callously calculated "means to an end" thing I'd done like so much crud during that year. To this day that means a lot to me b/c to me it means that I apparently meant something good enough to her for her to have done that and that means a lot to me,what with my (speaking STRICTLY for myself of course) recent skepticism of insitiutional education and my troubled past with it in spite of how I love knowledge,data and information for there own sake,epistemic or not,logic or not.See the type of adorement you give to blonde haired women is why I think you can make such a thing outta how Sarah Silverman and Kim Kardashian are apparently highly attractive "it girls" (more so Kim). I'm purposely gonna ignore the personality components of why there famous b/c for some reason most of my family doesn't mind bringing up the Kardashians who I don't really care for even if Kanye's married to Kim and I'm kinda scared of how cringy I'll get if I look into Sarah Silverman's comedy and sense of humor. Notice,both black haired women,one of which is even dark skinned and could pull off a number of racially ambigious looks. Yet when it comes to the looks Kim has you friggin make it into such a big thing =-= !. >:l WTH white ppl!. Have you guys been so flippin oblivious to the world of dark skin and hair colored hair women who aren't black that someone like Kim is friggin new to you!.
You know, maybe this is more my opinion but being Hispanic and having looked around I can happily say that hot dark skin and hair colored hair women who could match Kim on a spectrum are not uncommon : ). Well to me,in my eyes at least. The world is awesome when you can look at an ethnicity ,esp. your own and think to yourself you don't have to go to major lengths to find attractive women in said ethnicity
. You on the other hand =_= ,make it into such a big deal to "strive for" . I see it in your pop culture big time and (this leads to another thing) your lack of unrestrained unjudgemental unantagonistic "fun-ness" and all the "properness" norms among your internal cultures is the main reason I think you've pulled off making fun into a big industry which can be unhesistantly lurid. You guys make it a big thing to "strive after" that one ideal of happiness you so often yourselves have such a hard time defining even without falling into the usual pitfalls of addictive hedonism and a lotta rebeliousness ,for the sake of rebelliousness or something half-bakingly justified along the way. I'm saying this thinking about how a lotta Hispanic pop music if sung into english with word for word translations might come off lyrically as kinda hokey to you even though instrumentally it definitely has something going on.
Sarah Silverman. There's someone who looks more akin to a common appearance which is not uncommon among lighter skinned Hispanic women.
And yet I get sorta creeped out if there's pictures of her doing something gross if I scroll to far down on google images.Guys,trust me I do believe in such a thing as anti-white racism and don't mean to make anyone feel "white guilt" or something like that and being mestizo means being half-European,keep in mind. However it seems to be that first we gotta a LONG way to go in making non-white ethnic groups be secure and comfortably have needs and acceptance fully addressed and satisfyingly manifested in lieu of the extensive history of legitimized discrmination and ridicule by white ppl. With the .U.S. declining as global superpower we're at a point what with the internet's mass interconnectivity where we can make something out of being inclsuive and colloberative and ditch the "someone has to be a 'global super-power' " notion for good, leaving it behind us like the dumb shick which happened in the past ~1/2 thousand years of colonialism.
It's one reason I'm stringent on positive stereotypes is how ppl are complacent enough to say that "China is going to be the next global superpower" like it's something that can just be ceded to anyone who has something economically going-on and strutting around about superiority,when there's never a shortage of intragroup insecurities among whoever's riding the top of the vertical mosaic. See I don't want another cycle of a some selected ethnic group monopolizing stuff, I don't want to find new reasons to hate a group when doing so can be so easy to conform to and possibly even justified, I don't want a new slew of stupid,shady "behind the curtains" s---t from a different group, I don't want ppl to be so friggin appealed via complacency and fatalism to this with ever so common a tidal shift in neglect when such things,such notions of "power over" being the only,the best,the most optimal,the inevitable way can finally within our reach be friggin put into a legitimate and sincere end phase!.
White ppl of the Anglosphere,what you guys got going for you I think that "it's b/c youhave no center(ing) principles", really, it creates an emptiness--now emptiness and nihlism does not outta neccesity mean doom and gloom;here's an example http://sidetrack1.deviantart.com/art/An ... -496273087 --the emptiness itself is handy as it can lend itself to allowing for such a diversity of personalities motorized by any number of things in a domain of no restraint, which most of the planet is still trying to adjust to with uncomfy experiences not being rare.

My main take-away I guess is that blonde haired beauty is kinda so ubiquitous and saturing in the surroundings I'm used to that I really wonder if there's much of an appreciation for dark haired women in white culture. Thanks lots.
