I liked my cousins post on facebook against people who say dark is not beautiful. All colors are beautiful, then I thought in the same lines... tall and short - how come tall is more beautiful than short and it is not even considered a discrimination?
and what about our obsession with "big"? Having grown up like Sheldon cooper, I had totally missed it that big boobs are supposed to be better, hence so many complaints by girls about how their blouses were like shirts (dont embarrass me!) and how some girl was flat! giggles! or pride by others on their size( dont gross me out!! Shut up already) was totally lost on me untill very late in the day the light finally lit and I was like Oooooo...
Why no campaign against that? all body shapes are cool as long as u are healthy? or not?
About weight loss, nobody is talking about being stronger, Oh BTW if u think about being stronger and healthier rather than being thin with big boobs - u are a lesbian :-p
what about hair? or hair loss? bald men ?
let alone skin color, we judge people by dresses too...
I dont like men who wear cuff links :D
We may consciously say no to being superficial, but superficiality runs deep. we like people who look like us. We may say fair is beautiful, but we like people who are like us.
Coming to the point- what about discrimination based on social background and culture. I look down upon people who are on social benefits.
saying fair is beautiful dark is not - is superficial
saying only 36-24 -36 figure is beautiful - is superficial
saying only men with hair on head are handsome is superficial? [but my dad is bald and I think he is very handsome :D ]
but the fact is we like one type and dont like some other... some women like cute faces and some like rugged, some like facial hair and some hate...to an extent it is superficial but it is no crime surely?
It becomes a crime when the likes and dislikes start becoming discriminating? but the line is very thin.
Isnt giving importance to education also some kind of superficiality?
like how Sheldon is obsessed with Phd .. superficial?
when does preference become superficiality, when does it become racist?
There was this quiz which had interesting questions like
do u think it is racist if a person wants to be friends with people of his own race - YES
do u think it is racist if a person wants to marry people of his own race- yes...
do u think it is racist if a person wants to marry people of his own religion - no...
Why is this any different? hmmm it is not. the difference of what is acceptable and not is very superficial.
