If you really think about it, MOST countries and ethnic groups always try to e[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']mulate white European or American standards of beauty. When I was in college, we saw a video of Asian women who were getting plastic surgery on their eyes to look less Asian and more white/european. Us black women have been doing it for years, we straighten our hair, and think that lighter is better, so even though its TOTALLY WRONG (esp since it's kids) I can understand why they might have done it, the WHOLE world was watching, so they wanted to put up some one who they probably would appeal to the majority "standard of beauty"[/FONT]
