Today I will be talking about "Pretty Privilege", the history, the push back against it, and what we can do as a society to realize our pretty privilege as well as use it to help others. This kind of rhetoric can be seen in television, movies and also on social media. We see many people in the public eye perpetuate this kind of thinking and pushing against this kind of agenda and can have many harmful and devastating effects in the long run. If you have any thoughts at all please comment down below !!
Here are some articles talking about this topic in-depth and why is an issue:

Hi! Love ur videos, but there’s a topic that I wanted to suggest. Black Beauty Standards, aka big butt, curves, small waist, flat stomach kind of stuff. I often see these features being described as proof of someone being black or something like that. However, woman who are very thin with small breasts, and thin everything (which is fine btw, it’s very beautiful) are also seen as desirable. But those who don’t have big butts, thick thighs, thin waists, whose bellies aren’t “flat enough”, or just are apple shaped so to speak are often dragged, put down, and seen as ugly (plus we hardly see any black women who don’t fit the standards that I described above. Also, the oversexualization of those who fit the standards (often kids and teens, if they develop early). So yeah, just a thing I don’t see talked about much, that I wanted to mention. Have a great day!!! 😘
@Ryan Francois hmmm imma look into ✍🏾✍🏾
Literally who even says “ur pretty for being white”
Another blk women who’s made at white women 😂
Interesting topic, I’ll look into it thank you ✍🏾✍🏾
IM SAYING!! People want to be hardheaded for no reason. Saying you have eurocentric features doesn't strip you of your blackness... you will always be black, but your features make you more desirable because they align with European beauty standards WHATS NOT CLICKINGGGGGG?!
Exactly 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I dont think you get it. I've been told that I have white features for so long and now that I actually like my features I'm hating my blackness? Do yall just like hating people who are more "desired" than you are?
@Ryan Francois she said at the beginning "are you pretty or so you just look white?". My features are black, no matter if my nose is small or not. Stop distinguishing black people in order to create more conflict
@Ryan Francois it doesnt matter if it's used to be "catchy". She did it and she knew what she meant. So many people say this in order to undermine black people that dont look like them, and that's what she's doing.
@Ryan Francois girl Idk why you even kept going back and forth with that person. Something isn’t clicking for them 😂😂
yes, dark skinned mixed girls with type three hair get called "exotic" and "pretty for a dark skinned girl" and "Rare" !
SPEAK ON ITT!!
Couldn’t agree with you more
And? Are they wrong?
@@Popularmango10245 Obviously, why would you fetishize and erotisize someone because of their skin color? Did you not watch the video?
they don't have to be mixed either
Let’s also get into the fact that our Afrocentric features as Black women are said to look “masculine”. The stripping of our femininity is another wat society beats us down as women.
@Amelia Jones You are hot
It's the truth tho they do look masculine
@@PrayToChrist that’s crazy 😂
@@PrayToChrist Well in European beauty standards its more masculine.
@@melvinskdkj8536 😂 gotta drop the facts g
It's such a specific look it's not even just eurocentric, it's a stereotypical Northern European nose with "Asian" eyes and "African" lips. Most of the time that look is just achieved by surgery and extreme makeup.
Hmmm interesting perspective, I actually kind of agree
Yes I just commented something similar but in a waaaaay too long drawn out way lol. But as a society, in the last few years we are uplifting the “exotic” racially ambiguous look. Combined with the hyper feminine combo (small nose, big lips). And yeah we use makeup and surgeries to achieve or enhance this look. Not to mention the filters as well. All the “beautifying” or “perfecting” filters do this.
Actually the eyes are african too. Many think they’re asian but they’re actually closer to african eyes. If you look at black people, you’ll see most have tilted eyes but double eyelids. The only difference is that the eyes are commonly further apart while the current beauty standard celebrates the same shape but they’re closer together.
I agree. I never thought about it that way. Wow. This comment makes the most sense to me.
Exactly. Because Africa is the cradle of humanity and is the most diverse genetically, all possible genetic variation is there
The San people in Southern Africa have eloongated eyes (Far Asian looking) but arent mixed with Chinese/Japanese people. They are probably one of the oldest groups in the world. They have reddish yellowish skin, but definitely African
Ethiopian and Somalian are African. 1. Some have thinner nosesabd/orlios, because of the mountainous environments, in which they live. Cooler air creates thinner noses. So they are not European looking, since their thinner noses etc were an adaptation to the environment, some 25,000 to 30000 plus years ago.
Within Ethiopians and Somalians, you also have those with wider noses and lips, and darker skins (The media just doesn't show diversity) Wider noses andios are adapted to humid climates. As is curlier hair.
Those successive waves of Out of Africa saw dark skinned people living right across the world, which is why you see indigenous people with very dark skin, curly/curlier hair, more "African features" n the Philippines, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and were the ancestors of the Australian aborigines.
In Europe, the first peoples were dark skinned people, and if we read about some of the European legends and old stories, there is a lot of mentions of dark skinned people, datk skinned rulers (example, Romania) There are coins from the Estruscan period, showing dark skinned profiles
Asian peoples (Chines/Japanese etc) have similar features to African peoples: fuller lips, wider noses. Their skin pigmentation grew lighter with genetic mutations reacting to the environment.
Modern Europeans are bieved to have originated in the Asian steppe lands, and migrated westwards.
Ultimately, all groups come from Africa, in successive waves and over time adapted to the environment.
Beauty isn't due to "European" standards. All cultures have their own beauty standards. And beauty, is and always will be in the eye of the beholder, no matter the part of the world.
“you’re pretty for an asian” said from my crush was one of the most rude things I’ve ever heard.

Hmmmm interesting, why do you say that?
@@_SHOLISCO_ When you say eurocentric people get defensive because 9/10 times they really don’t know what it means, they think that you’re saying they look white or have Europeans features, when I say euro-accepted it just means that it’s a feature that Europeans accept as beautiful so anyone can have that feature. It’s basically the same thing just easier for lay people to get.
that is a much better term ! the term “eurocentric feature” to me, implies that they are features similar to white people. but all races include different types of features. while as euro accepted implies that they are ACCEPTED by white people if that makes sense
Yes I like this term a lot better, I will be adopting it now Ty
@@phil6748 nah I’m still offended
Also Kim Kardashians face was soooooo beautiful before all the surgery! I loved her original nose so much, it made her roots show and shine and everything was so balanced.... I have a bigger Eastern European nose with a faint bump and I like it, it shows my connection to my family and makes me stand out from the crowd and most importantly it fits my face.
I’ve been saying this, Kim’s pre surgery face was naturally gorgeous and honestly I think she looked better before. But of course everybody wants this “exotic” “racially ambiguous” look and this want even extends to white women nowadays.
BIG FACTS
Her Armenian culture is beautiful and she shouldve embraced it. I wished she never got bullied
I'm a bit disappointed with how the Kardashians look now. I thought Kim looked more unique with her old face, that looked more arab/armenian, then the surgeries that changed it, didnt make her really look European, but now, today after she started dating Pete Davidson, it looks like she is trying to fit in to a more cliche look with the Marilyn Monroe thing, even though she is not white, and has larger features than that hollywood mold. I used to think the Kardashians opened the door a bit against that because they had dark hair and olive skin and got popular with brown and darker make up. I hope they dont completely change.
@@randomyoutubeuser9465 I always considerd that whole racially ambiguous thing a form of racism in itself, to not scare away white supremacists if the are attracted to something not white but not too black or native looking in order to uphold their hypocritical standards against olive/brown skinned people. That and Poc who cant pretend they are white, use it to go so far without doing too much. It all stems from the colonial history of how the white-passing test was used to dodge racism, by hiding biracials ethnic side. In all poc communities they have this taught to them.
I'm so glad you're talking about this. I thought it was just me who thought this.
I totally get you
I thought I was crazy aaand she validated what I have always talked about and people said I was reaching😂😂
Lupita is dark but she is favoured by her features.
Riri is light but Riri has the afrocentric features.
Riri benefits from Colorism,cuz she's lights
Lulu benefits from featurism because she has Eurocentric features
Sis I love your side profile! 💋
When I became pretty. Aka my glow up I have been treated differently. People respect me more my teachers cater to me more males respect me more I love my pretty privilege ❤️😌 I use to get bullied every day and as soon as my physical appearance changed my life changed. I embrace my pretty privilege
It’s true, pretty privilege is a real thing. I find it kind of unfair but it’s inevitable, and part of human instinct
Love that for you sis. If only more black girls could see this, hopefully it would alleviate some of their insecurities and show them that they too can be perceived as beautiful and reap the benefits from it. Rather than to have the thought process ~ “I’m pretty even though I’m black”
Hi, while pretty privilege is still a part of society, don't u sometimes feel unsure about the way people are treated u better now since they were not that way b4. I mean don't u feel like the affection might not even be real and genuine. We as a society have to able to operate within system that we know will exist for a long time and criticise the system at the same time
@@vil4038 i disagree, i feel people just say it's a part of human nature just so that they won't have to take responsibility.
@@similoluwajunaid831 I was treated like shit from k all the way up tell last year I love this. Its less stressful
The European facial feature beauty standard has done serious damage to the black community. When broke black men start relationships, their women tend to have broad noses, dark skin and are thick. When black men become rich they go for light skin black or non black women with "European facial features." This sickness has to stop. I can't think of a candy prettier than Twizzlers. That candy was delicious as a kid.
Have you also noticed how the standard for black women to be polished and extremely gorgeous is so high but let it a woman from another race, they can be normal and basic? But anyways chile...
Twizzlers really ain't it for me at all 😂😂 !!!
I think you mean they are prettier. Do you think Tika Sumpter would have any problems with rich black men?
There is no such thing as a european facial feature. I am purely black and I have a small nose, that is a black feature and you cant change that. However Europeans DESIRE people with small noses and small lips so it is a european desired feature. Not a european feature
@@unknownname5143 I think you might be confusing eurocentric features and European beauty standards
@@_SHOLISCO_ how can someone have eurocentric features?
To start off, I personally feel like people who say, "you're ONLY pretty because you look white" know what they're saying. They are using it as an insult not because they are trying to educate someone about featurism. It upsets black girls particularly because it's similar to hearing the phrase, "you're pretty for a black girl" (like having to be or to not be something to be pretty which is like being stripped of your blackness in both cases). At the same time, I see your point. I think the reason why this issue especially affects dark skin black women is because they out of all the skin shades have to overcompensate for their skin tone being perceived as ugly in society by having to appear extremely more beautiful (intentionally - using makeup, wearing wigs/ unintentionally - having certain features) since their femininity is not always in their control. I think the defensiveness comes from the word privilege. In conversations about privilege, there is an association game of privilege = the blame game. For some, it's like they're being called out for something they can't control. I do agree with you because being palatable in this case means being seen as exotic
Wow-what a thorough response, I understand everything you are saying and it is quite insightful. Thank you for this !!!
This is perfectly said and exactly what I thought, you said it better than I ever could!
Phenomenal take
Very well stated 🎀
What is your opinion of contouring, ladies? Is this falling under “eurocentricism?”
I have facial features that are considered more attractive due to it being more eurocentric. I'm Native American and Hispanic/Latino. The Hispanic/Latino features I have are more glorified than the Native features. I've had people tell me I have a Spanish nose, skin tone, etc. I just wish all this would stop.
@plein de grande Tristesse That's what I'm told. I don't say that personally. I don't understand why you're personally offended. I wouldn't be so bothered by this. I hope you have a good day or night 🙂
@plein de grande Tristesse Have a good day 💯☀️
I am also a Mestiza Latina! So I am mixed with EuroSpanish and Native american, I have a "european" nose, it's not the skinnist nose but the profile is VERY white, and my lips are pink colored. I feel like the only Indigenous features I have are my cheekbones, lip shape, and my very dark coarse hair. Other than that, I get praised for not being "too dark" and being "on the lighter side".... YIKES. Even when trying to reclaim my heritage like learning Quechua, (an Indigenous language in Peru) I get ridiculed for it
@@AikoSilver that is awful you get ridiculed for learning your indigenous language! Don’t let anyone stand in your way or detour you from getting in touch with your heritage 🤎.
if you have "Spanish" nose that mean white. Spaniards are not Latino.
If you notice, most people are pretty with makeup because it clears and brightens the skin which is a display of our health, and plays up the eyes which are the windows to the soul. So anyone can be pretty, it's just about letting go of certain standards.
Nope makeup won't fix asymmetry,weak jawlines and dull cheekbones.
@@Andrewbait You don’t have to be symmetrical (most people aren’t), have high cheekbones, or strong jawlines to be pretty. The Asian beauty standard definitely doesn’t care about high cheekbones and strong jawlines. If you accentuate your eyes, they can change your whole face, regardless if you have a crooked nose or weak chin or whatever.
@@VictoriaWhitlock there are biological beauty standards and cultural the later is subjective the first isn't we humans look for the average Asians aren't different all Asian pop stars have strong jawlines and good symmetry between the sides no one has perfect symmetry but people who have good symmetry are preferred you can't fight millions of years of evolution some of us a less attractive and that's okay we need to learn to be honest and objective
You still have to have something to work with. The makeup just plays it up and brings you out. Some people dont look as good with makeup because they just aren't as attractive.
What is your opinion of contouring, ladies? Is this falling under “eurocentricism?”
I like to say Eurocentric Beauty standards in stead of euro features because people tend to misunderstand and get defensive when you say the latter and it sounds less like you are saying they look white, also you make a lot of sense when you were talking about the Kartrashians I've thought of that for a long time, the only reason black men love them is because they look black while still being white.
I get what you mean.... and thank you for understanding what I was trying to say about that Kardashian comment
absolutely LOVED watching this video!! Specially the point about "pretty in my home country, ugly in america" cause I feel it so much! Im a 1st gen born and raised in America and I can say I'm not ugly- but def not getting a bunch of second glances either. And I used to stress about this soo much in HS until I went back to the DR to visit family and was shocked by the amount of attention I received, since I fit the tastes there a little more, and lil old introverted hermit Me hated all of it. but it really does put into perspective that no one is truly "ugly", they're just not "pretty" **here**
You’re eyebrows are killer!! Yes ma’am.
Thanks sis ✨
I remember being told I would be prettier if I stayed out the sun, got a nose job, and straightened my hair. As an average dark skin black women, I have people say I’m pretty and other people saying I’m ugly. I have dealt with both ends of the spectrum. Also it really annoys me when people use the word preference as an excuse to put down people they don’t find attractive. A prefer means to prefer something over the other. For example, I like apples more than oranges. It doesn’t mean I don’t like oranges. It simply means I like apples more. Putting down your own race is not a preference.
You ain't say nothing about the truth !!!
If it's any consolation, I have a big nose as well. Someone in class once asked me if they could use my nose as a slope to ski off of.
who actually said this. Yall always got this Ive been told or they say, or they dont want you to succeed, etc. Name the they yall are talking about. The "they" are most likely other blacks that are your own skin tone that think you were not pretty and said it, most likely a black man would say that without it evoking a fight. Doubt a black female or white person said that.
@@Sagefrakrobatik In comparison to asian people also european people are the people with big noses.
@@fablife6236 What she’s supposed to list them to you or something? How dumb are you? You’re clearly not black so you have none of the experiences she’s talking about yet you’re apparently the expert. If everyone is talking about it that means it happens a lot. Yet you and your two brain cells know everything about everything with no experience whatsoever. There’s always one fool who thinks they’re Ainstein🙄
Your video is so interesting and so informative. I am not black but I have a baby boy who is mixed and one of my priorities in my life is to teach to my baby that brown and dark skin is beautiful.
Thank you for this comment and also thank you for watching!!
Being pretty in your home country/culture but not in America is SOOOOO real, you put into words what I always felt!
Featurism is real. Afrocentric features are not hyped up unless Eurocentric features are added to the mix.
maybe because thoses featrues are universally seen as attractive ? Like men with big jaw ? Black have nice big jaw it aint a white thing its juste that white seem to have more of thoses nice features than the other, it doesnt mean that all white of all thoses features
@@ltgdr6298 idk. I’ve seen a girl that had a “big” nose but was very pretty because it fit her. She was very elegant. Some people don’t even give medium noses a chance on a female. Believe it or not, but you have the ability to broaden your taste.
@@ltgdr6298 Men with small slim jaws are considered more attractive in East Asia
Anytime you have to ask yourself, "Am I crazy?" You're not. The only reason the Kardashians got so far was because they imitate black female bodies.
Finally someone addressing the featurism conversation
But chrissie been talking about this
@@onlylikemindedbw U right. But she focuses more on colorism so she’s only done a couple videos specifically about features
@@VictoriaWhitlock lol alot of chrissie's video's talk about colorism and featurism to this day... go and check out some of her videos in the last 6 months hun.. she constantly addresses colorism , and featurism. Lol
europeans don't have a monopoly on features!! Europeans have all kinds of features, big, small and everything in between. They PROMOTE (who you see most often) and UPHOLD (value) smaller features as their standard. That's why rhinoplasty (nose plastic surgery) is the most common surgical procedure in europe. They are also subject to standards of beauty because they don't all fit it.
Of course cause it’s all about perception, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it just happens that most Europeans value certain things and agree, but it literally means nothing… and just like fashion it fades and changes with time and social influence… like most Europeans are pale af, but the standard is to be tan (not brown, not black, sunkissed) cause if you are tan=u have money but in the past it was the reverse, y’all shouldn’t take it so seriously and honestly start normalizing and embracing your natural selves, it’s all about promotion, certain things aren’t cool until a cool person endorses it and pushes it. People are sheeple, you mold their minds, go against the stream, be unique
Girlll we been saying the kardashians been biting off of black women, this is nothing newww😂
I know 😂 I just think it’s so interesting, I wonder if anyone would take that information and make an industry plant who feeds into that narrative and they basically turn them into a cash cow 👀👀👀
Thank you so much for this video! 😊 I'm so happy seeing fellow young black girls talk about this problem because many of us grow up seeing this standard pushed to us at a young age. It causes major mental traumas for us and is sometimes why many us have similar stories about believing that we're ugly at a young age.
Thank you for commenting this, I can definitely say that I was one of those young girls who grew up thinking they were unattractive and it sucked but now being older I get to do research on why things were the way they were and how I can try to change the narrative by my actions and upliftment of younger girls that look like me.
Sholay, you are Beautiful!!!
Listen if I have so called "European" features, they're not European features if they are on ME! Black women literally birthed the world and have the eve gene, that's why black people can have a spectrum of features
You do have a point there!!
So if what is so, why are you all constantly complaining about "eurocentic beauty standards" what's the problem then?
@@EnteleiEcheinwe don't want to be called "white" when we're not
Africa is very diverse. East Africans, West Africans, Central Africans and Southern Africans all look different. To call African features Eurocentric is very offensive. Find another word to describe whatever features you want to describe because using Eurocentric is an insult.
What about North Africa?
@@kanagawayarichin North Africans(at least the ones I see) are white. But the black women have small noses and large eyes. While some just have that "European features"

On paper yes but realistically they look very similiar. The only different looking ones are north africans and east africans.
@@alecgurney9305 by East African you probably just mean Ethiopians/Eritreans the horn African people.
I don't like the idea of telling any fully black person that they have eurocentric features apart from the fact that Europeans are not the only ones with those features and there are many Europeas that dont have those featurea, what you really mean most of the time is thet don't have West African Bantu features.
Sounds like jealousy
If people are that bother by darkskin women having European features on tv, than make your own model videos with women who have different features who are darkskin. Honestly why try to tear down darkskin women who have European features or act like their accomplishments aren't meant anything. There's a difference between leveling up and pure jealousy
Lol the irony is all the woman she showed as women who have Eurocentric features could easily be west Africans.. they also accuse attractive west Africans of having Eurocentric features.
Many WeSt Africans don’t even have the features described as Afrocentric TBH!
@Motown Gayes I didn’t say none don’t, I said many do not esp with features like flat/unbridged noses, some people in my family have it and some of us don’t
Honestly at this point, we should find a way to completely forget beauty standards all together.
In our current society
It’s either Asian or white dominant
That’s why white skinned are generally seen as more attractive
But if society was black dominant
Than it would be the beauty standard
My family always been slightly more on gaurd with black people
They don’t hate them infact my dad has a lot of black friends
I can have a black best friend they are totally happy with it

Can we just SAY that someone’s features line up with European beauty standards? Because when you say Eurocentric it’s makes it seem as though these features are synonymous with looking white when they aren’t. People come in a variety of looks ESPECIALLY black people.
Most definitely. just because someone shares the same skin color doesnt mean they will be phenotypically similar in other ways.
Eurocentric literally means lining up with European beauty standards. People are just misusing the term.

@@spokenfactzz7840 The term featurism makes no sense.
Yeah, it was said in a Black American magazine to the Somalian model Iman, who rightly took offense to it. East Africans look different, and associating their features with whiteness is one of the quickest ways to get them to cuss you out.
Idk bout this. They're gorgeous biracial/ black women/men. I don't agree with it's cause "you look white" European. I feel like that's an assumption. I'm a white woman with fuller lips and have been told I'm pretty or have pretty lips which is not a "known white trait" unless they're fake or lip injections. So I feel like that's the opposite of the whole " you have white beauty"
the facial features I understand but being skinny has been the beauty standard for a while.

I have to be honest Ive seen this in my own life, Im south African but for whatever reason some of my features are not typical amongst many African people and I have noticed how Ive been praised for having a straighter nose, and I definitely noticed how the world fell in love with me when I straightened my hair and put some weave. This does happen, I see it time and time again. I have even noticed that colorism no longer works if you have african features or are bigger with coarse hair. There are so many light skinned girls who get ignored because of their african features, this is a thing. Lets not act like it isnt.
Yall think symmetry is a eurocentric beauty standard? Lmfaoo i feel bad for yall. All phenotypes are beautiful when placed correctly on your face dats it. Now yes colorism, and the rest of the isms do apply in beauty standards im not gonna deny that ever. It's literally science that says humans like symetric faces. Now if youre still thinking you need blonde hair n blue eyes to be considered beautiful or have adjacent features to that then idk the WS got to you 🤷🏾♀️ what youre REALLY saying is some ethnicities all over the world dont fit into the beauty standards that pedestalize small features. Kinda intresting youd fit right in with the bw/bg you showed for examples and you have undeniable "black" phenotypes. Yall give the whites too much credit cuz i can tell you most white ppl themselves dont fit into their own standards.
Yep, I live in Europe, at some times the standard beauty was to look like Russian or Scandinavian. And in Italy at ancient times, beauty standards was to have no eyebrow, long nose, and a huge forehead. 😂
So European beauty changed in every era and on each counties because culture still really different... (German is not like Spain, and Italy is not like UK)
+ The standard described in this video fit more Russian girls. (and Russia is not Europe...)
@@ia7072 That's what people will never understand. European is not a fucking race. We all look different. The same that Egyptians look different from people of South Sudan. They are both from Africa but look hella different. You simply cannot compare Croatians to Scandinavian people, but both are from Europe. Every country has their own beauty standards. Just because the media wants us to think only white people's features are beautiful doesn't mean we agree. Every person is different and blaming a whole race just isn't right.
Yes, yes, Throw Away. All of this. Great analysis !!!
@@vivienfunk2390 Yes, yes!!!All of this. Great response !
@@ia7072 Absolutely. Love the historical references . Beauty standards change often due to who holds power and resources. Yes !
I'm a white man! I have a question! If your own men find you attractive? Why does it matter that other groups of men don't look at you in the same way?
You know damn well that Kim's success is largely based on how she was able to manipulate the black aesthetic to her favor, think about it her and Paris Hilton were both at the top but she quickly replaced Paris because guess what blackness and proximity to it is cool, its hip, its a trend and Mama Kim and her sisters capitalized on a phenomenon that was already there.
@SHOLAYY but the thing is the so call "eurocentric features" DON'T resemble europeans more than they resemble indigenous african features. That is what irritates me about the phrase "eurocentric features". You have to have a eurocentric lens or frame of mind to see them.
Someone once told me that Lupita Nyong'o of all people had eurocentric features. At some point you have to realize when you don't know what you're talking about.
@Mind yours I didn't.
I think it is just silly to say that all facial features which are called beautiful are ,, white features ,, If people are called beautiful as well as in europian, asian , african and arabian countries maybe they are just beautiful. Just look at the average white person. Why should the average white person be better in the so called ,, white beautie standard ,, ? 95% of the people no matter they are black or white doesnt have beautie privilige . That is normal.
They are saying she has a European nose because it's long and narrow and kind of pointed. But why is the girl at 4:44 complaining when she is clearly countering her nose with makeup?
I’m mixed brown skin and people always think I’m East African…growing up being compared to an Ethiopian or an African in general was a huge insult. Until I realized how beautiful they are and all the people of Africa are. So now I wear my East African look with pride! Realizing you have pretty privilege as an adult when you didn’t have it as a kid is wierd
If black people can have features that are stereotypically white without being mixed then how are these features exclusive to Europeans. We keep upholding race which is pheno- stereotyping groups of people. WE NEED TO DROP RACE CLASSIFICATION it is flawed and racist.
Literally name two black women who are praised online who “look the same” because I promise you I can name 8 that have Afrocentric or afro-typical features who are glorified for their good looks. For the longest time there was a massive issue with lack of visibility of black beauty, and now that we start to see more of it, y’all have found a new thing to complain about. First it was “they’re not dark enough, now that more dark skinned women are being praised, now it’s “they have white peoples’ features” get a grip. Blackness breeds all different types of beauty. God forbid people appreciate all types of it.
Plus, the idea of “white features” has already been scientifically debunked.
Yes.
And there are white people who are considered unattractive. Therecore: European features does not equal beauty
Facial features are that way for communication and survival etc. Beauty standards are created by specific groups, perhaps as a form of currency for the mating game
The truth of the matter is a lot of people (personally I don't think this is coming from Black Americans who descend from chattel slavery) are starting to think that anyone who was pretty has White features largely in part because they have internalized the belief that white people are prettier. I've literally seen people saying women like Normani or Lupita Nyong'o or Naomi Campbell have eurocentric features🙄
@@13579hee
I agree. Exactly
Naomi and Lupita are considered very beautiful , not because of features, but how they come across overall. Their features are " African ". The so called West African Bantu stereotypical look is very diverse
The Fulani and Wodaabe are West African ,for sure, but look at the diversity of looks
An Ethiopian standing next to an Italian , will look " African " not European/ Caucasian "
A friend of mine observed :" Africans tend to have softer, rounded features ; Caucasians , on the other hand, have sharper, prominent noses . "
Although, exceptions don't make the rule, we will see a variety of nose shapes, lip sizes , skin tones and hair textures within these groups
@@13579hee Thank you. I was going to say the same thing. People are so internally self-hating that what are actually typical "African features" on Lupita (high cheeks, round nose, full lips), are classified as White, because they find her attractive...it's sad that to them if she is attractive it must be because she "looks white." I've seen people say Normani and Naomi aren't actually DSBW, for the same reason...like oh they are pretty, they aren't dark-skinned. smh
@@kgs6032 yup! And sadly I think a lot of this is coming from Africans and maybe some Caribbean who've finally come to the west and are just now interacting with the system of white supremacy. They Really don't have the range based on prior experiences to understand these things but they too are coming from an incredibly anti-black culture that have been impacted by white supremacy. It's the reason why they will say any and every Black American whose perceived as attractive looks "mixed".
I really think they perceive Blackness as ugliness and I don't mean this in an offensive way.... but.... I think that to them if you don't look like Alek Wek and Adut Akech then you're not really "Black looking". And don't get me started on the ways in which I think black people specifically black women in modelling have fallen for white people glorifying unattractive black women and turning them into supermodels to intentionally uphold the white supremacist idea than black people are by nature ugly. Duckie thot has very similar features to her sister but I find her to not be as attractive as her sister Nikki..... I think Nikki being pretty is part of the reason why she could never truly make it as far as her sister in the modeling industry. The modeling industry has a way of using the black body to reference things that are far removed from beauty, I think it is intentional but I think black people being so desperate for attention don't realize how we look when models take those jobs
I'm super blind and wear contacts. You'd be surprised to see how different I am treated depending on what color contacts I'm wearing.
The answer is: yes. Kind of. Beauty is simply a reflection of the power structure of our society. If you look like someone that belongs to a powerful group, rich, and young, simply because society deems it to be important, then You are beautiful.
I honestly think the whole Eurocentric standard is overplayed tbh. Beauty is beauty, and when it's objectively there in abundance it can't be argued with. You for instance are exceptionally beautiful but you don't have Eurocentric features at all.
I've seen people refer to Normani, Naomi Campbell, Lupita Nyong'o and Ryan Destiny is having eurocentric features. That is complete and total nonsense. They have features that I have seen on many other black women, whether those black women are descendants of slaves and thus of mixed-race descend or 100% genetically sub-Saharan African.
I'm going to be very frank and say that I think these types of conversations hace been discussed a lot by Western Hemisphere Blacks who tend to be of some mixed-race ancestry and (especially talked about among Black Americans). However I think these ideas are new to a lot of people of African descent given the more recent influx of African immigrants to the West over the last 30 years and I really do think a lot of young African girls have come to this conversation without really having the range. They sit on Twitter, UA-cam and Tik-Tok watching videos where people who aren't qualified to speak on these things and attempt to discuss them and its lead to the set of circumstances of today where these young girls end up not digesting the information properly. This is partly why I think a lot of the discourse about colorism coming from black brits tends to be so........😬😬
What we are talking about are not eurocentric features, (I mean what does that even mean? Since that literally centers whiteness, the implication is that white people are the only group of people with these features (which is clearly not true because they are also exhibited on the faces of black people) instead we're talking about people who are not white whose faces fit white society's idea of attractiveness. Even the language that's being used now is very annoying. I hate when people refer to White hair or white noses as "fine" (even "keen" annoys me). We should be referring to their hair and simply being "loose textured" and their noses being "narrow".
I really fear that a lot of the young girls have been socialized to believing that Blackness is ugly saying that whiteness beautiful they can't even talk about this a matter without censoring whiteness is being the defining feature of beauty. This is why I see people saying Normani has white features, when in truth she does not.
Who is the gorgeous woman that just popped up in my suggested...Sholayy?! I clicked for the beauty and stayed for content. Subscribed.
AWEEE thanks for the supporttt !!
@@_SHOLISCO_ Of course! Keep waking us up Queen.
The idea has crossed my mind many times. As a Mexican American that happens to draw, I can tell you what we find beauty is in facial symmetry. The color of someone's skin, eyes, hair texture, check bone, the shape of their lips, and weight all play a factor of beauty if their face is symmetrical. we can't say that someone is automatically attractive just cause their white, there are many white people that are unattractive due to the fact of facial symmetry.
What does this have to do with the video
Speaking on beauty standards can be sooo hard because people genuinely believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder never ASK why your idea of beauty is a skinny light/white woman. Also, a lot of people don’t understand that you might not align with the specific “ white girl with blond hair” trope of beauty, HOWEVER, you yourself still align much with the beauty standard 😭
Exactly people like certain look!!!!
The first black girl I thought that was her noise shape until I saw her instagram and saw that make up made her look like that
That is comm
That is a common practice.
Can we just talk about how toxic the idea of having *any* beauty standards is? Yeah, European beauty standards are messing us up, so let’s get rid of them. And while we’re at it, let’s get rid of beauty standards all together. They’re used to control women and sell products. Good for you those who are physically attractive, but this beauty standard thing makes people place their self worth on something they literally have no control over.
Yeah, and it doesn't last. Your mind is what should get you through life.
the thing is thats not european standard but human standart, all human as a species agree that thoses features are aesthetic it just happen that average eurpean have more of thoses features
@@ltgdr6298 lol. sure.
its like big lips, big ass, big jaw, its not an average european features but still is part of this "european standard". Not all white are attrative, guess why _ few white have all the features of this standard. this "stantard" isnt even a standard but a goal of beauty if it wasnt every white would be seen as attractive which is far from the reality
My mother was the first beautiful person I saw. She happens to be German/Irish with hazel eyes and sandy blonde hair. So if someone looks like her, I feel comfortable at first glance. I’m half black/white. I guess I feel punished for being mixed and looking like my mom who is beautiful despite her race.
Just pointing this out, but whiteness hasn't been the standard since the DAWN of time
post colonialism of course
Why did everyone take this so literally? 🙄
I definitely think some people are called pretty simply for being white. However, there is also this weird obsession with light skin. I find Lupita Nyong'o to be way prettier than Zendaya but people think I’m crazy.
They are both beautiful in different ways. I find it weird that there has to be this competition if 2 black people of different shades are in the same room. There is room for all of us!
This helped me for my English speech exam! This topic is something I’m very passionate about! Thank you so much ❤
WOW THANK GODDD! CONGRATSSSS!!! I'm so happy for you! I'm happy I could be of help
There is no such thing as "eurocentric features". Not all europeans even look the same. Just like not all black people have wide noses amd thick lips. If a white person has a wide nose does that mean they have afrocentric features?. No. I'm Mexican and I have thick lips, and my nose is not wide, but it's not like super thin either. My skin is reddish brown and I have straight black hair. I didn't get any of these features from no european or african. I got it from my native american ancestors.
All of them have big noses
Skin color has nothing to do with beauty,it's bone structure
Yesss been saying this! I have family members with more eurocentric ft and they are deemed as pretty but with my nose lips and body I'm looked at as exotic. I can be super sexualized where I see my other family members treated "normal"
I glad you agree and it sucks that you have to go through that
Feuturism?why are black women late!!!!!!!?
CHRISSY ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS ???. LIKE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO?
Ok there’s so much to comment on here so ima try to keep it brief. But the best explanation I’ve heard is that the current beauty “standard” for women is “Afrocentric” lips, “Eurocentric” nose, and “Asian centric” eyes. What most of us tend to put on a pedestal is that “exotic” look, which is actually just racially ambiguous + pretty. Now, I’ll be the first to say, I have also always felt that Asian eyes were gorgeous (even though apparently they used to be made fun of not long ago 😡). And I believe there are scientific reasons that we prefer women with smaller noses and fuller lips, similar to the reasons that we prefer women with hourglass figures. (That is not to say that racism isn’t a HUGE factor in our beauty standards because it is and always has been unfortunately.) But if you do research on the physical differences between men and women ON AVERAGE, it’ll all make sense. That being said!!! Women can be GORGEOUS with big lips and big noses OR with small lips and small noses. And to act like having thin lips or a big/broad nose automatically makes a woman ugly is ridiculous! But as far as all the women in this video that have been rightfully associated with “pretty privilege” but also with having Eurocentric features, most of them don’t actually have Eurocentric features. More palatable to modern day white people, sure. (Cuz trust me Adut Akech with her features would have been considered an ugly African woman by most white people even like 15 years ago.) Slightly smaller noses in some cases, sure. But still round and less protruding. (Also most have been contoured with makeup.) And MOST black women don’t have EXTREMELY broad noses, significantly broader than the women at 3:53, 3:58, 7:13, 7:15 or your own nose! And that’s not to mention their extremely Afrocentric lips (that goes for almost all the women in the video). So I would say that over all, these women have pretty Afrocentric faces. To say that the woman at 3:53 and 7:13 have Eurocentric faces is just such a reach to me. And they don’t all have stereotypically Afrocentric bodies either. Do they still benefit from pretty privilege? Of course. But it’s just because they are BEAUTIFUL! Very black looking and very beautiful. ☺️
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK!!!
Very good points, Rachel
It seems that advertising is isolating facial features to create a concept of beauty
I also wanted to add , as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you take in the whole package of the face / body. The face is seen as a whole and adds a personality to it , which in turn gives off attractiveness or attraction to. There are theories ,too about face symmetry , which contributes to " beauty" or prettiness "( men and women )
It must be pointed out that , given different cultures do / did have beauty norms, before the concept of Eurocentric aesthetics, certain features are there due to adaptation to the environment
A broad or wide nose evolved to breathe in humid , warm air ( suited back then to the earliest human beings who evolved in Africa ) fuller lips are said to have somewhat of a cooling effect ( maybe surface area for which heat is distributed ) and curly/ coily hair provides a layer of protection to the scalp ,against the hot sun.
Thinner noses adapted to warm up cool air ( in Northern climes : Europeans. ,and mountainous areas : Ethiopians . Smaller lips: less risk of frostbite in cooler climes )
Perhaps, as an aside, if we also appreciate and be grateful we have a nose to breathe from , and mouths to communicate with, we will truly see how beautiful and wonderful human beings are. :)
I love this, Rachel.Mason !!!/
Exactly the lady at 3:53 I was like European what?? She is gorgeous, and she does not look Eurocentric (European) at all.
@@maureenpemberton5991 Also i have seen so many people that despite their skin colour have" features from other races" .The humans have mixed so much that unless the country you were born into is at least a bit racist and they dont want to mix with people from other countries because they dont want to ruin their features or the country was isolated for many different reasons that the people didnt have access to foreigners.Black people can have so many different feutures,being black does not mean that you are from only a specific country neither does being white mean that.If you compare for example balkans with northen europeans you can find so many differences,even in your country you can find so many differences between people.There are tan greek people with big noses and very dark hair as there are easily pale white greeks with smaller noses a bit fuller lips and light brown hair
Your gorgeous 💖
Thank you!!
I HATE when people say, “you’re pretty for a (insert race) girl.” Everyone is beautiful and created in God’s perfect image. If dark skinned women weren’t beautiful, then why would God create them? He sees every single one of us as His beautiful creation ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🤍🤎🖤

totally agree also it’s not just being racially ambiguous( i cud argue west to south asians look racially ambiguous ) its def being strategically racially ambiguous tapping into profitable stereotypes.
I don’t understand how you can say from the ‘dawn of time whiteness has been the standard...’ the concept of race is a recent thing that did not exist at the dawn of time

@@_SHOLISCO_ In Asia, before getting colonialism they were already putting fair/white skin to standard beauty....(geisha is a good example) This has nothing to do with colonialism I guess

It's just in our nature as human beings to prefer eurocentric facial features, no one pays a surgeon to get a wide or long nose, but a small upturned nose, a kid with a cute nose will not be bullied in school as much as a kid with a big nose, if you go back 5000 years and you bring someone with a big nose and someone with a small nose, people at that time will often prefer the person with the small nose, a painful fact that we cannot deny
@sspikaa Ok now tell me who is the most race that has what they call the celestial nose ? Blacks or Asians ? Of course they are the white
Time before colonization basically noone wanted to look white, because being European was equal to being poor and dirty. Its US media which glorified this standard, and they still continue to do so
Certain proportions and features are pleasing to the eye. Haven't you ever heard of The Golden Ratio? The discovery of this ratio dates back to 2500 years ago and people of all races and features can have faces that follow the golden ratio. It's not a man-made thing. It's found everywhere in nature. It's just about proportions. Why do we find flowers beautiful? Is it because of Eurocentric standards of beauty? No, our brains just find certain things visually appealing.
But everyone and everything is beautiful in its own way so this golden ratio doesn't work.
@@jayanthis947 Yes I agree! I can think of plenty of beautiful people whose features don't necessarily follow the golden ratio. I think it produces a sort of "obvious" beauty, kind of a standard and even slightly boring beauty. There are lots of other more unique types of beauty, that don't follow this ratio.
All type of beauty were made equally and perfect. Do not feed into this bull that some are better than others. Always know you are beautiful and perfect. Stay away from the negative and focus on the positive.
We all need unity and need to focus on what we have in common.
❤️
People need to except that hot is hot dark and light are both attractive.
i'm pretty iffy about features being named 'white'. yes, some features align more with western beauty standards, but that doesn't make them white features. if it's on a black person, it's a black feature. there are some countries in africa where it's typical to have a smaller nose, for example, which obviously aligns with western beauty standards more. and having high cheekbones and full lips is also a feature more typical in africans than white people. i don't think beauty standards are eurocentric because of a white person's actual features, but because they're white. ie, a white person with certain features is seen as prettier than a black/asian/indigenous/etc woman with those same features.
so yes, a WOC with features that align with the beauty standards is going to be deemed as more attractive. it's the case for any race. it's not any revolutionary realisation.
Is her nose eurocentric or is it just small?
This!
I get so tired of people talking about eurocentric features. How can someone who is fully Nigerian for fully Congolese or fully Ivory Coast or fully Senegal have European features? The reality is that smaller features on women just look better. They're more feminine and more feminine translates to prettier. Do some people need to just admit that they're just not attractive? and that's okay they still have the same worth that someone else does but we need to stop this whole European features crap
And you can have a wide but proportional nose
But, full, thick lips are sensual. & many European women try to surgically get those lips.
@@rosalynbeatty8310 they are only sensual if they are symmetrical and proportionate to your face. Most of the time they are not. And when women go to the surgical centers to get full lips they aren't taking your picture to the doctor. They are taking Kylie Jenner or Angelina Jolies picture and saying make me look like this
@@rosalynbeatty8310 I have them naturally and I’m white

hahah thanks so muchhh
I've been thinking about this a lot. As the other girl said, not just in relation to black people but other minorities. Thank you for doing the research & making this lovely video!
Thanks for engaging 😌😌
Pretty privilege is a weird thing. You're pretty and people treat you nicely....always....no...more often than not. When people treat you nicely more often than not, you become more confident. Sometimes rules don't apply to you, and people let you slide just for you to smile at them....and people work hard for that smile because it feels nice when a pretty girl smiles at you. Why? BECAUSE GENERALLY NO ONE BUT FAMILY SMILES AT YOU, IF THAT. So for a pretty girl to smile at you, that's like 2 steps ahead. You forget people are people. You forget they use the bathroom and smell funny sometimes. You forget that they're human...or maybe that you're human too. So you put them on a pedestal...and most people are...and they get higher paying jobs (mind you, I'm not saying they all didn't earn said high paying job, but you gotta factor in the confidence that they get from others to even try sometimes)...this is just a theory off the top of my head. Nice video, and thanks for mentioning Christ.
I feel quite out of place here because I'm white but I think in our society people like to seperate people way too much, and it's definitely important to learn about other people and cultures 😊
“Are you pretty or just look white” (que X files theme song) 😂😂😂😂 love it
This doesn’t make sense to me. There are very beautiful and very ugly looking people in every race. The beauty standard today is even hard for most people of European descent to live up to. It’s unrealistic because so many of those women only look the way that they do because of plastic surgery.
Y’all be having this “European features” argument as if Europeans don’t be having parrot beaks
no. That’s not what they are implying. At least the way I view it, western beauty standards are heavily influenced by features that many of the white population have. For example, a straight, narrow and small nose. That’s not to say that all white people have that nose because that’s incorrect. But regardless, that is the beauty standard esp for females whether people like it or not. So when any poc has those features like a smaller, thinner nose that align with western beauty standards, they have a eurocentric feature but that term should not mean that they are white and that term should not take away from their background and ethnicity. It simply means one (or more) of the features they have is deemed beautiful in western society. I hope that cleared this up.
@@afrida842 I agree that white Caucasians generally have tall and narrow noses varying from straight to crooked to up-turned. As far as them being typically small thats just not true. Black people typically have the shortest noses, and of course the flattest too, that's a fact.
Although there are whites with small noses, most do not. The " *small* white nose" is just the nose size that contemporary media perpetuates as the "ideal" nose size for white people right now. As far as *size* anyway, it's what white people want not what they typically have.
Coz let's be honest most whites don't even meet their own Eurocentric beauty standards! 🙄
I feel like featurism only applies to women. Black men with broad noses or ethnic features are still widely attractive, just not on women
If you're brown you know that you can easily slip into "light skin" in certain lighting and "dark skin" in certain lighting.
My profile pic is basically my complexion but a tad darker because of the lighting, this is my favorite pic because it's the closest to my complexion(I'm brown skin)
And when I ask. Lot of guys which pic of me they like, they pull out a pic of me where I stood directly under a "white" light and I appear lightskin.(I despise that pic💀 I don't like it cuz NY eyebrows weren't drawn on right)
Take this Lil information how you will but it's what it is...you are just pretty because you are lightskin.
And I noticed that people say I have glowed up when I am lighter😒😒😒 you know when you stay indoors a lot and stuff you can get "lighter" or basically not tan...I don't like that...if you think that pretty=light, just say that.
Respect for speaking out on this

Don't ever listen to the haters
Thanks ✨
I'm just here for the Nigerian in you slipping through the cracks 😂😂😂 but honestly, everything you're saying is what we all have been thinking but dont really say cuz we might get attacked.
I feel like a better way to put the term eurocentric features would be to say you have features that fit the eurocentric beauty standard because like the video highlighted some of these features are native to african civilizations and have no tie to the west. other than that i agree with the bulk of the video.
@Terrie M yeah thats a way to put it
Good points. Lots of truth! More people need to see this video.
Thanks soooo much sis, I appreciate the love ✨
My Thing is the beautiful beauty standard girls you showed were west african. West africans are extremely diverse genetically and do not have "bantu features" as nigerians ghanians etc... are not even "bantu" it is just african americans who do have a mixture of bantu and west african, who believe in this compartmentalisation of features. There are as many dark nigerians as there are brown to lightskins. There are many with broad and many with small noses and many with small and big lips many with 4c hair and many with 3c/4a hair especially Ghanians. The west african features that americans think are west african, are not west african features since they never stepped foot in west africa to know. They just name all the black features they know general society does not deem attractive and name them black west african features which is weird, self hating and innacurate. Not everyone from a race needs to be considered attractive it is ok to be average but it is hard for many low self esteem women to grasp. Even the white people white ppl themselves prop up are not the average looking white person same for an asian person. But even within highly attractive people there is variation in features.
You can see this idea of “being pretty because you look white” with K-pop artists. Just research before and after pictures of many of them. What do they change? Their Asian features: eyes, nose, chin, etc
亚洲人绝对是最可怜的，因为他们的五官扁平，他们如此轻易地在脸上操作，并将他们洗脑成自己的种族身份。你无法想象，在我们国家，由于历史原因，与中东、欧洲进行过基因交流的少数民族因为具有更多的欧洲特色而被大家认为是最好的，但这个国家的大部分主要民族都被认为需要整容。
Or maybe the person is just pretty...there are people that are white or "look white" but aren't cute so sometimes when people find someone pretty then it's just that.
