Re: It's a Self-Esteem Shortcut

Taking a step back, it kind of confounds me how little ethnic divisions in body perception gets brought up in conversations about body image.

In mainstream media, popular culture, and in white and Asian communities (in America), the mentality is definitely "skinny = better", and that tends to be the 'platform' that most people focus on. But absolutely, there are plenty of communities where being the "thick" girl was attractive. Now that I think about it, I'm surprised this doesn't get brought up more - especially once things like "skinny-shaming" are brought up. There are some communities where this is a big problem, and some where this doesn't even exist as a concept - and in some parts of the U.S., at least, these communities can be right next door and these mentalities will still never so much as brush up against each other, let alone overlap or interact with each other. Is it any wonder that people from these very opposite "platforms" of body perception run head-first into each other online?
