"World's Most Beautiful" lists featuring mostly white people

[nbachris2788]

Here’s a question then: How many white people do you think are in the “sexiest people alive” lists or whatever in say, India or China?

</p>

<p>From my experience, publications in places like India and China do not usually make such ambitious declarations. They might make lists of the most beautiful Indian or Chinese or Asian people, but rarely (if ever) will they make a self-serving ethnocentric list that purports to have a truly global perspective. If someone could prove me wrong, I’d be quite happy.</p>

<p>India and China have half the world’s population, and they don’t even have the nerve to think that most of the world’s beauties come from their own people. Yet Americans declare Kate Hudson to be the most beautiful person in the world? Ludicrous.</p>

How many Americans make that declaration?</p>

<p>This ties into the “World Series” or “world champions” that don’t let the world compete.</p>

<p>We live in a silly, insular society that has to tell itself over and over again that it’s the greatest in the world. </p>

<p>It’s embarrassing, but no more silly and insular than Japan or Britain’s pop culture.</p>

<p>who cares how they rank. It’s a worthless piece of junk, and we know it. If someone wants to waste their money and time to give them an opinion, they can go ahead.</p>

<p>as for me… my “World’s Most Beautiful” list will still be Mountains, Rivers, Trees, Lakes, Clouds…</p>

<p>Their rankings will never affect mine.</p>

<p>

That’s corporate entertainment for you. </p>

<p>They have an audience. They only care about money. Pathetic. And they need us more than we need them, so I say do without. And yes, this is coming from someone who no longer watches tv, listens to music, watches movies, reads magazines, or educates with corporate news media. It is possible.

<p>I love you, ASC</p>

<p>Siglio that’s just stupid. Whites are not the most in this world!!!</p>

<p>The person sitting next to me is hotter than all those “hottest list” people.</p>

<p>Actually, American pop culture has a big presence in Japan (and the rest of Asia) and pretty much all over the world.</p>

</p>

<p>While those countries probably do have lists for the most beautiful/sexiest Desi or Chinese - keep in mind that these countries (in particular, Japan) do use quite a bit of white models/celebs in advertising.</p>

[usna_reject]

<p>And usually the minorities who are considered beautiful are half white.</p>

<p>(don’t mind me, blasian blues)</p>

<p>still a matter of preference. Whites are the 2nd ugliest in my opinion. behind blacks.(for girls. guys are different, but what do i know) No offense to anyone. </p>

<p>and no, i’m not racist. </p>

<p>I bet there will be people who will flame me for saying black girls are ugliest, or at least think of flaming me.</p>

<p>I’m not so sure if I said asians were the ugliest would generate the same kind of response.</p>

<p>:rolleyes:</p>

<p>It’s okay, I am too, and an online environment is looser, but those kind of outwardly-expressed thoughts are just tacky :)</p>

<p>Trish+Stacy, you know what I mean ;)</p>
