Today, I looked at a beauty magazine and I was not shocked to see the outcome of my results. First, let me add that there is no true way to know what someone’s race is based on their appearance, but I did my best in depicting white, African-Americans, Latinos, Asians, etc, and additionally male and female.
I went through my magazine which was one I got at he makeup ULTA counter so no doubt there were hardly many men, however wearing makeup is a new trend for some me on a daily basis, so there were a few men with a full beat face. 28 of the women throughout the magazine were white, beautiful, very thin faced girls. Mostly young girls in their 20’s. There were 8 Latinas and it had 3 black women. 1 girl was Asian.
All of these women were gorgeous and unique. They had exquisite features, high cheek bones, full pouty lips, big eyes, and a full beat face. Everything you expect for a makeup magazine for sure. However, once I’m asked to count the difference in women ethnicities, there is no doubt that white women are favored to be in their magazines or as cover girls. There is no doubt that favoritism plays a huge role in society as to what is seen as beautiful and the rest of the races are just trying to catch up.
I have to assume that if it was up to the editor’s they would just keep it all white but with all the new political correctness and all of that stuff, it’s almost like they just throw the other girls a bone and keep it to a limited amount of ethnic faces which is truly sad, because every race is beautiful.
