shoutout to the southeast asian girls

mayflydog:

• even though we are underrepresented in all aspects of the media
• who sees skin whitening products every fucking where
• who gets told that they don’t look like they’re from [insert SEA country]
• who feels pressured to lighten their skin
• who feels they’d never be seen in television because majority of the celebrities are white-passing/light-skinned/skinny
• who feels that they’re not beautiful because our features are a very far cry from western global beauty standards
• who feels insecure because of their height
• who has to bear a racist stereotype everyday
