Why do they think they need to ‘westernize’, i.e. not really westernize but ‘racialize’ their eyes to that of non-Asians and why do they think the ‘definition of pretty’ is the caucasian face?

I can understand why Asians who are in the minority in a Western country might feel an impulse to do this, but it does surprise me that Asians in Asia might want to “westernize” their appearance. Perhaps it has to do with the globalization of media.
