So there was obviously some mixing in the line somewhere, or am I wrong to assume that?
A lot of these traits skip several generations and pop up out of "nowhere"
Read The Bluest Eye and you'll understand.
It is required in many schools for a reason. But realistically as my homie @2Quik4UHoes is stating, this is just a given to many of us.
Only blue we rock with is that forum blue and gold tho

I understand very much the concept of minorities having to live up to the standard of beauty forced by white supremacy and media. I can even understand how some can feel upset that there exists a chance that minorities might do this to fit into the aforementioned standard.
I was merely pointing out that white people do the same. They tan, get perms, and I would be willing to bet that most people who wear blue/green contacts would probably be whites. I would be also willing to bet that most who get this procedure done will also be white.
What happens in that case?
The point is, it's that as far as inferiority about how they perceive themselves from an ethnic and skin tone perspective, it is clearly more endemic in minority communities. It is much larger business in India, Africa and places of that nature than it is anywhere in Europe. As we speak, there are people in Nigeria right now literally painting their lips pink. White people do not do the same to nearly the same extent, and when they do, it is more about being fashionable than feeling objectively inferior. In any given publication there are 10x the amount of people of their complexion (even if pale) than there are of people of color.
So the idea is that this may fit into the larger conception of products being used to meet European aesthetics. I also cannot say for certain if what you're saying about contacts is correct. Black women love color contacts. You're right that white people may use this too, I don't think any of us will dispute that.
Yes. You're correct.

Not denying anything you said here, but shouldn't the outrage be if we have evidence that this treatment is systematically being advertised or used by minorities to combat a false sense of inferiority?
I don't actually have an issue with the procedure, I don't find it controversial. It can be used in controversial ways I guess, but is there enough proof that this is the case?
Again, I admitted that is was anecdotal on my part, but the vast majority of people I come across, of all races, the ones who used colored contacts the most were white people. You are likely exposed to a much larger set of black friends/family than I am, thus my perception might be skewed.
Black folks who have blue eyes = mixing for sure.
The first blue eyed people were Africans who had a mutation in their DNA. While it's almost statistically rare, it has happened before and does not require mixing to occur.
From what I understand, the earliest blue-eyed people were near the Black Sea somewhere in Eurasia, not Africa. I've never seen a Black person with blue eyes who didn't clearly have some white ancestry. Do you have any proof?
Ever heard of adaption or evolution? The first people to populate Eurasia, and the rest of the world, were darker and more "African" than you or I. A mutation of a dominant allele into something less potent. We have the full genetic code, they don't. It's science.
Lots of people going in to get whitified
Let me help you out by adding some intensity to the word "Lots" ........ the level of whitification throughout the world permeates deep ........
ah man those Indians
those Koreans
those Jamaicans/Dominicans
those African women
roll up on a chinese with blue eyes like
Nefflum nigga
Bred from insolence
The reason I disagree with this is that blue eyes are a relatively new mutation. It's maybe only a little over 10 thousand years old. "White" looking people had already emerged by then. Also, there's no such thing as the "full genetic code"- evolution is a process, new things are added, and old things are subtracted. White people can't naturally be born with "black" hair anymore, but they also developed new traits that Black folks never had.
A mutation of a gene isn't something new. It's an abnormality of a former version. Black's don't have that gene but have the base trait that could mutate into said phenotype. I'd wager Blacks have much more variety and possibility in their gene mutations than a White person...
