oh vanity what will you do next?
General Talk
Being latino myself, this is true. I mean obviously it isn't everyone of us who are into this type of mentality but if you're going to say it doesnt exist, you're blind. I, for one, do not care about having such desired bodies but i have heard and seen so many people who do and it's just part of their culture and media. Personally, i grew up around a lot of older women( since my mom worked at home and was a manicurist) Most of her clients had some type of plastic surgery that, to tell you the truth, were extremely over the top fake and unnecessary. The pressure to look good and have this great body that like you mentioned, Desirae, is almost insanely rare to have (slim everywhere else but with a big butt) is so much that these women dont even notice that they're being brainwashed.

I'm honestly not surprised. In the black and Latino communities, the pressure for females to have big butts can be like white and Asian girls being pressured to be busty/skinny, and it's not a simple matter of 'just sit on your butt and eat crap and get fat' because the goal is to have a nice big round butt, but still be slim everywhere else. A fat girl with a big butt is nothing special, but a slim girl with a big but - OMG you're talking about glory!
When you're not as invested in society and the media it's easy to just tell people to ignore, but for most people it's not that easy, because the message is EVERYWHERE that people are expected to hate every part of themselves and change every part of themselves, and it doesn't help that imperfection is demonized. The less you fit the ideal, the more you're demonized, and the brainwashing is so deep no one wants to do anything about it.
You know it's a problem when most females surveyed would rather die than to not be beautiful.
but this makes perfect sense. It was somewhat of the idea I had to begin with but i wanted to make sure. Thanks so much!
