Eewww she’s such a poser! That’s what you get for lying about who you really are, you’ll always be insecure. Keep at it and i bet you’ll be passing that insecurity to your kid.
Breakfast at Audrey's Yes....I am the Shay......Slayer.......she is Fake and "plastic" personality.....character....... I am embarrass for her to "acknowledge that she is part Filipina" please......save the drama for your mama.....and go sell your products (ice cream) to a dumb "eskimo" ha ha ha.....who would buy it......he he he
I. P. Why not? it is not about being mean....it is about being "fake" and the people commenting are "voicing" their opinion......that is their "right" to voice their opinion and it's for you to listen to both side and not just "what you feel" that you want to hear or see comments of.
Meow Xia there were instances that nicole didnt claim her filipina roots.Probably because she didnt grew up having her filipino biological father.But apl.de ap has always been proud of his roots..he always claim it..Mad respect for apl..
Shay Mitchell is so eloquent but it's interesting how she never mentions anything about being Filipina. She talks about embracing her heritage and being exposed to different cultures but nothing about being Filipina. The title is such clickbait, I'm disappointed.
No hate but she is not really embracing her filipina heritage she is just embracing that she can be unique with her own real looks. Heritage goes deeper than just the physical attributes.
Miguel Hernandez exactly people now will do anything to look “ethnic” so people who were ashamed of their culture before say they embrace their culture now that it’s a “trend”
One thing is she can't speak the language of her mom which is Filipino. She probably was not taught about her Filipino lineage say language and culture at home. That could be one reason why she is so insecure of herself in highschool and always had to ask herself why she is different. Had she been made aware early on that might be different?
@@jackryan1345 Yeah your right. It starts from the home. Btw, I dont speak hate towards her. And we dont have to shove it on her face to actually embrace being a filipino. We filipinos are okay with or without her appreciation
She is not obligated or needs to prove to anyone that she is exactly proud of her Filipina heritage because it isn’t that dramatic. I don’t go out to the world and tell everyone how proud I am to be Asian, white, or black. So I like that she doesn’t overdo it like most people which is annoying and she is straightforward that she’s half Filipina. Therefore don’t tell people what they should be proud of because of their heritage, she doesn’t need to own up to anybody and that’s the truth! Stop feeling for her as if she’s not fully embracing who she is lol she is exactly the person that she is
I never said white people were the devil. That was your conscious speaking. Did you know that white supremacy is a global thing that has influence all over? So yeah, I'm sure other races bought into the idea.
She is so fucking beautiful the way she is. Everyone should be happy the way he/she is. No matter where your from. But yeah this world is kinda fucked up. Way have a opinion about a person bc of the way he/she looks, when you don't even know them. Seriously just know the person before you say something about them. Ugh people need to think sometimes.
I wouldnt really call it "embracing her filipino heritage". She didn't like her dark hair, eyes, skin because it came from her genes, especially from her mom cause those are dominant traits. But, you can have dark hair and have both parents be blonde. I would say it was more of "embracing her looks/natural beauty/inner self". I dont really see any embracing her own heritage in this. Heritage to me would be more like culture, filipina traditions... etc. Nothing like that was pointed out. It was just self confidence and beauty.
I think this is the saddest thing about raising your child in area’s where there isn’t a community there, children often grow up confused and unsure of who they are. Why representation is so important
I'm ethnically mostly Filipino, but I'm descended from a lot of half-Filipinos/half-something else, so my features look mixed. I've always been happy enough with being Filipino, but when i was younger, I'd go to great lengths to track my lineage and European ancestors to see how "diluted" my Filipino genes were. Even though I'm American, the Philippine preference for mestizos (or mixed people) was embedded in me by my parents. I learned I have Spanish, Chinese, Italian, and South Indian blood, with the common denominator being Filipino in my familial line. Blue and hazel eyes even run in my family up to my mom's generation. I used to emphasize these parts when people asked about my ethnic background. "Oh, I'm FIlipino, BUT I'm also this, this, this, and this." Looking back, it's silly to me now. I can see Shay's perspective from when she was younger, where she buried or disregarded her Filipino side. There's a certain western view that the Philippines isn't a country you should be proud to share roots with. True, it's a third world nation that has weathered through poverty for decades, but the culture is exceedingly humble, warm, hospitable, and welcoming. Filipinos tend to say, "I'm proud to be Filipino!" when they see someone from the Philippines succeed in the western world, such as Manny Pacquiao. But some Filipinos in the U.S., like how I used to be, tend to downplay their connection to the motherland for various reasons. It's a little heartbreaking, and I hope those individuals will come to embrace their Filipino identities much more in time. As for me, I love the Philippines for everything it is, all the positives and negatives included. Filipinos are some of the most resilient people I've ever met in the face of hardship. I learned a lot during my visits to the motherland. Now I speak one of the dialects and tell new people I meet that I'm 100% Filipino whenever they ask. I'm very proud of who I am and where my family came from, and I hope Shay feels the same about herself.
Filipinos come is various looks. Many have light skin and others tan, curly nd straight. Small eyes and big eyes. Attractive and unattractive. Its a country with many different looking people. And not all aspects are pretty. Just like any other country. But you should visit it to see first
I know right? Doesn't she know we are one of the most loyal fans when it comes to being a fan? She needs to learn from Cat. And funny enough, a white Canadian girl is even more filipina than her. She speaks Filipino too.
You mean "full white" I see no Filipina trace in this shay lady......just stay white cuz I would be laughing if you tell me your half Filipina.....Be better if she says that she is a "COCONUT"
***** So, tell me what you know...discuss me this Filipinoness that you say I tend not to know? Tell me something of Filipino culture and what makes us different from the "white race".....please tell me and tell the public your Filipino side and prove me wrong? You have the ball in your court now you have my attention....begin and I am here to listen....start by telling me how you grew up and what was your experience of Philippine culture cause I want to know if you really are who you say you are so I am here listening to what you've got to say and prove me wrong that I don't know shit about Filipino Culture or I know less than you.
***** Your the one that replied assuming I do not know nothing about Filipino culture so I am giving you the "center stage" and you obviously have nothing to say afterwards....which just proves that your nothing but a "szhit talker" at best and you have nothing to share nor do you know anything about "Filipino culture" Now you had your turn....here is my piece of mind to yours.....Shut your trap and next time you make any comments....back it up with things you know and have factual knowledge of....Understand me or hate me....it is what it is brother....and if you don't like what I have to say....then..all you have to do is "channel out" hommey! and go on with your ignorant self. Cause guys like me.....just do not have the time for folks like you....you got that.....do you understand? good.
Yes! I love this! When I first moved to the U.S. from Philippines I felt different from the other people in my school, I also wanted to fit in. But I started just embracing my culture and now I'm a proud Filipina. For example, I used to get embarrassed when I'd go to lunch and everyone else is eating pizza, and I'd pull out my lunch and I'd have Filipino food. For them it was weird and I would feel insecure to even eat my lunch, now I really don't care. I'd eat any Filipino food in public.
I feel like we were in the same situation execpt vice versa,I grew up in the U.S and moved to the Philippines.Whenever I brought a sandwich to school for lunch theh would think its weird to not bring rice with a sidedish so I got embarrassed but now I don't care what they think because thats the food I ate while I was being raised.
Almae Curtis exactly, I just learned not to care. I feel like the more confident you are with whatever you're doing the less you'll care what others think. ❤🙂
im in the same boat as you, i bring my breakfast to school because im always running late (filipino problems lol), and my breakfast is always rice, sunny side egg, and some kind of meat and i always get funny looks from my friends. I even bring the red hot dogs sometimes and they just look at me like "wtf is that" hahaha. They wonder why i eat rice everyday for breakfast, it's my culture man!!!
Im a Japanese- filipino . But i was born and raised in Japan . i experienced eating alone in restroom too when i was in grade school . They bullied me because im a child of a filipina , growin' up i used to hide my identity to others cuz im scared if they knew i had a blood of filipino they gonna bully me again . japanese think if ur a filipina ur a low class en a maid my classmates called me filipin yarou or " filipino bastard " en my classmates parents think im a child of a slut which is not true my mom is an english teacher , my mom told me it doesnt matter if people look her as a slut as long as me en my sibling are okay , when i enter middle school i tried to accept my identity . En ive got friends :) they accept me hu i em . En some of my schoolmates thinks im cool becuz i can speak 3 different language . Japanese , lil bit English en tagalog . eventhough im not really good in english . They still think im Fluent en all my grammar is correct lmao . Welp just want to say be proud of hu you are .
Popo Teytow is your mum filipino?? im korean and i didn't know japan was like that too... they sort of look down on filipino too... it doesn't help that both korea and japan are homogeneous... it must have been hard and its so cool 3 languages wow.
Shay Mitchell is absolutely gorgeous. It's amazing that she's able to talk about her insecurities centered around ethnicity. A lot of people fail to realize (or choose to ignore) that the most common beauty standard pushed is Eurocentric features (with the exception of now black features on white people becoming popular). So many young women of color whether they be in Africa, Asian, Latin America or wherever feel that they have to adjust to this idea of Eurocentric beauty to fit in and be beautiful. I know so many WOC who can't seem to feel comfortable in their skin just because of the color of theor skin or the shape of their nose because they've been told from a young age that their hair had to be straight, their nose skin, or have lighter skin, etc. I really Shay, and I'm so glad she is able to love herself and share her story. (: To any young women out there struggling with self esteem, know that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! You don't need anyone else's approval to be so either.
I use to tell people I couldn't speak my language, I'm Indian and I speak 3 of them, only because people would ask me to translate phases and I don't know why it was so awkward then but I felt awkward about it. I guess I felt that I would be even more different from all the other kids if I told them I spoke another language. And I lived in Texas where there I was the only Indian girl in my numerous school. But I was never ashamed of being Indian and all my friends were mostly White and Mexican. Now I feel proud that I do speak so many languages and that I have two cultures in me.
I'm half Japanese and half European mix. I was the same way in highschool and college. I dyed my hair blonde and wore green and grey contacts. I used to be shamed by my family that I'm half Asian and how dare I be the only one in our family with dark eyes when everyone has blue. I was be shamed for my hair color, my skin color, and treated by my family like I was nothing more than dirt. I think I changed myself to conform to their ideals so I could blend in and not stand out so much. Now, I embrace my dark hair /eyes, my features, skin color, and even my name. The older I get, the more comfortable I have been with who I am and that I'm different. I want to be myself and not have to pretend to be someone else just to make those types of people "accept" me. There are MANY people that face much bigger discrimination than I can ever imagine and I hope they keep standing up for themselves and stay true to themselves, and be the best that they can be. I will be rooting for you all the way
you need psychiatric help , eurasians usually have a pretty bad case of self hatred. they usually project the shit onto other people of colours. Elliott Rodgers anyone.
Racism exist because it's dumb asses like you who do not know how to "love yourself" and look down on God's creation as dirt...…..stop blaming others and begin to "love you" then it does not matter what your "race is" because in the end....we are all humans and we are all "equal" unless you are "ignorant and racist" then you find the "negative aspects of others" so you can feel better for yourself...…..love me and you shall love yourself.....
Well, racism is kind of a big deal , no matter how beautiful a person can be. If there are people who are narrow minded and if there bitches around, yeah, I think its possible to feel really bad about how you look and make you want to eat alone.
What? That's very common for people who have rough times in high school, they eat in the bathroom. Ask any teacher, or literally any adult that's attended highschool in the West. Even younger kids know that it's not just from Mean Girls.
She is the cousin of Lea Salonga. I love Shay and Pretty Littel Liars. Why would they bully her for being Filipina? She is gorgeous. Haha. Her mother is from Pampanga. Girls from Pampanga are really pretty.
Just a tip-the random captions are really distracting. They're just quoting exactly what the person is saying so I don't feel like it adds anything to the video. It just feels a bit overdone. Anyone else agree?
+Jenn I disagree. I rely on captions and since this video is not captioned, those help me understand at least some of what they are saying in the video. It would be much better if they put in actual closed captions though.
+J. Stew True, full captions would be a great option to have. Most RU-vid videos offer them, so I'm surprised to hear that PopSugar doesn't. For those of us who are able to hear, it's pretty distracting. There aren't too many subtitles added, so are you able to read lips? Or do you just watch for the little blurbs? That's fascinating!
Did she really embrace her heritage? 😒 I didn't hear her mention not even once about her being half-filipina. She's undeniably gorgeous though. And I think she wouldn't have that stunning looks if not beacause of her filipina mom. Just saying.
I think everyone is being EXTREMELY hard on Shay. First off, she was making a JOKE and used her Irish and Latina roots for the joke by saying she can drink and she’s sassy. She didn’t deny her roots at all, she was making a JOKE. Secondly, I’m the same age as Shay and I can tell you that growing up as a young woman in America during those times, white skin with blonde hair was the STANDARD of beauty. It’s normal to want to fit in and I myself had an identity crisis when I was 16 because I was Puerto Rican and went to a predominantly white school. It’s human nature to want to fit in at all costs. It wasn’t until I was older that I truly accepted myself for who I was and embraced my skin and culture. Everyone has a different story growing up in North America and we shouldn’t judge others for what they went through. We should show empathy instead.
@valenlevalenle6394 LATINA roots?! Ma'am where'd you get the idea that she have a latin/hispanic roots? She's half Asian her mother is a native FILIPINA from Pampanga Philippines. Philippines is located in the continent of Asia, SOUTHEAST ASIA to be exact, so technically filipinos are ASIANS. Even Olivia Rodrigo has been mistaken for being a Mexican i think(coz of her last name) but she always corrected it and says she's always proud being HALF ASIAN-HALF WHITE there's a video about it here in RU-vid during Disney's Asian Pacific American Heritage Month a perfect example of a person who really knows her ROOTS. The only reason why a majority of filipinos have Hispanic-Sounding last names is because Philippines is conquered & colonized also by the Spaniards for 333 years they forcefully hispanicized the country even it's name Philippines is derived from King Philip II of Spain(English version but before they called it "Las Islas Felipinas") but still they aren't a spanish speaking country their culture might have a little remnants of 'the spanish colonial era' but they put their own twists into it making it their own culture/identity. Some ignorant foreigners keeps saying that they are the latinos of asia, please stop, that's the reason why other asians are looking down on them coz they think they are different than the rest of them, which isn't true, they are not half asians-half latinos.
I'm also a half-filipina and this helps me a lot! I also tried dying my hair lighter shades a lot and wanted blue eyes but with time I came to accept myself step by step and this is helping a lot!
i think its ironic that she didnt want her tan skin, considering white people are so steady tanning theirs. hmm. that's the thing about growing up in a white neighborhood, it would help if more parents enrolled their kids in schools that are more mixed up, were they can see other cultures and features too. Embed it in a young age so that these kids dont feel the need to loose their identity. Its really sad.
Well the two places she's lived and gone to school in, Toronto and Vancouver, are both very culturally mixed. I don't know exactly how it was when she was my age but at my school there is very little blonde hair and light eyed girl (one of them being me). Things may have changed since then but even in the old graduate photos I see that the classes were very mixed with lots of different races.
Omg she’s 10x more beautiful the way she looks and expresses herself now. So happy that she realized her heritage is important and something to be proud of. ❤️
This video is so touching & inspirational because I moved to the Philippines last year but I was born & raised in CA. The celebrities featured on Philippine TV (male & female) are so white, as white as maybe Chinese or Japanese and many of the beauty products sold here have whitening properties. Women straighten their hair everyday or get it rebonded & I'm just in a state of culture shock as to why they try to change their features & why there are so many products like that on the market that have Glutathione, papaya, or other whitening properties. Women Shay's tone and hair color try to get lighter and bash any dark or "black" skin toned person, and wish they had a higher, sharper nose. It's saddening and disappoints me that girls will easily say "Oh you're so dark" or "Why is your hair curly, straighten it" like we're not meant to be light skinned because of the tropical setting & heritage. It's another story if they have Spanish or Chinese or any other descent or mix, but I really hope someday the Philippine industry will teach us to add more color (or bring our REAL color back) & to emphasize that all shades are beautiful, diversity is beautiful. We're already such a lost identity but yet we try so hard to look like anything else but Filipino. I LOVE my dark skin & curly hair. Thank You Shay for doing this interview and I hope it will impact us here in the PH soon💓
Abby Mediante by as 'white as chinese or japanese' do you mean cacausian (like white washed) or as in east asians have fair skin? im not attacking sorry i didn't quite understand lol
I like Shay Mitchell.. I think she's beautiful, but I couldn't connect with this episode. I'm Filipina myself, and I don't see this as connecting with her heritage... I see this as her accepting her natural qualities? Accepting how you look is only one tiny aspect of embracing your heritage. And she's only half, so I can definitely see the white (I'm assuming) or whatever else in her. Western beauty is always going to be favored, consciously or not, so this video could apply to anyone who dyes their hair blonde, attempts to lighten their skin, or wears contacts. I hope I'm making my point understandable 😅
But really, 99% (of course that's an exaggeration, but fellow Filipino people will feel me) of Filipinas go through that contacts and blonde hair stage... It's like a rite of passage 😂
+Maribelle Trinidad okay. I loved it because I went through similar feelings growing up. when all your friends are white and you aren't sometimes you try to fit in with them. now that I'm older I love the race I am.
+Maribelle Trinidad You definetely grew up in the philippines :) Because my fellow halfies (or wholies :P) who grew up in western countries can definetely relate to this. It's a viewpoint thing. You might see it better if I use this example: The ads all around Philippines with whitening commercials, displaying brown skin as 'dirty' and 'not right'. In that case don't you think it's right to say that they are not embracing their Filipino heritage by thinking their skin is the 'wrong' color?
Emily Nueva I'm actually half Filipino (mixed with a very little amount of white, but not enough to feel like I'm anything other than Asian) and I'm a second generation American. And I've never been exposed to those types of ads. If that's how you see it, cool! Like you said, it's a viewpoint thing. Most of my Filipina friends would agree with me that it's just a rite of passage, but it could be rejecting heritage unconsciously? But to me, I just don't see it from this video.
***** I understand that! But solely based on this video, I didn't get that. I've only watched some of her beauty videos, so I wouldn't know. I just think for the purpose of what this video is trying to get across, it wasn't very effective or pertinent.
dang i can relate so much! when i was for about 11 or 12 years old? i hated my natural black hair and pale skin, i looked up to a lot of western actresses during that time so i wanted my hair to look brown and have tan skin. as i grew up, i have come to realized that i wasn't being myself and now i embrace everything about me. thanks to the accs on internet to love myself HAHAHA! i'm half chinese and half filipino btw!
What's up with fil-ams denying their heritage? You're half. Embrace both cultures. Learn from it and use it to your advantage. I'm a quarter and I love being part of other cultures because it makes you a richer person. And I had the opportunity to live in the Philippines and connect with Pinoys. I don't think you've embraced it. You just accepted the way you look and gained self confidence.
+Venusius noo not at all I'm already subscribed to her , but I was just pointing out that they said in the video that her channel was there but it wasn't. but for me it's not a big problem so chilllll ✌
I did it on my first day of junior high. I had to go to a completely diff school than all my friends. In a way I didn't even feel bad. LMAO I felt like "OMG I"M CADY FROM MEAN GIRLS".
Nichole of Pussycat Dolls wasn't ashamed of being a Filipino. She've mentioned it in interviews and shout it out loud numerous times in X-Factor and she's very much proud of it. So as Mortal Kombat's Kung Lao, Paolo Montalban. I haven't watched an interview where Power Rangers; Aljin Abella, Alyssa Enrile, Michael Copon, Kevin Kleinberg and Rhoda Montemayor denied they have Filipino blood.
I'm a filipino... i am proud of being a filipina.. I know I am not ugly as you believe.. I am beautiful... We filipina are beautiful... American Men love our beauties. You should be proud of it. Above all, there is nothing to be insecured about. We are not a low class. Say YEAHHHHH to my filipina audience there!
It's so sad, as one presenter said women of colour are generally considered beautiful only if they approximate the white ideal. if they have light skin and straight hair, caucasian features. That's why Shay wanted light eyes and light hair, in the media having blonde hair and blue is the standard beauty. Having tan or brown skin is not considered beautiful, which is sad. But Shay has come out on top, i bet those racist bully wish they were nicer to her.
I was literally the odd ball when I was younger. When I was younger I loved tanned skin with curly light brown hair. LiAdrienne bailon from the cheetah girls, I thought she was flawless and the prettiest.
this is so true.. i'm a full Filipina and I was bullied growing up bc of my complexion.. here in Asia, you get recognized only if you're pretty, light skinned, skinny, and have a tall nose. I am darker than an average filipina bc my father is part Indian (still dk w/c side bc im not that close to his family), i have big bones and hips so whenever I try to "diet" (w/c i did) i end up not feeling satisfied bc the number on the scale tells me that I'm not skinny enough even though i can see my bones at 130 lbs. people just see Morenas (darker skinned than average) as poor, etc and it sucks.. when I was around 14, a lot of my mom's friends and my aunts told me to try whitening products and since I wanted to fit it back then, i tried it. Now, bc of the rampant equality speeches on social media, i learned how to accept myself for who I am. I am now against whitening products for myself (not for other people, if you use whitening products, you go girl/dude), i accepted my bones, and especially my complexion. People need to realize that discriminating your own race doesnt really help anyone.
+Unpopular Voice dude!! I feel you. You know whats twice as hard though? When you are adopted but your brother is half and everyone compliments your sibling and then they are like "then theres you... Umm hi" and before I only saw pretty women who were white and stuff and just completely different, but because of shay mitcheel she showed me rhat filipina beauty is actually pretty. There are some days when I still feel like im an ugly loser but some days im proud of my heritage
+Joseph Jucutan tbh if I do, that wouldn't make me embrace what I am.. i will just get away from it. i love how I look right now. I already accepted my morena complexion and confidence actually gives you compliments on your insecurities. Whitening products may harm your skin and damage it. my skin is healthy, i am healthy and happy. I respect your opinion that you think lighter skin colors suit Filipinos better but in my opinion and in my friends' opinions, it doesn't suit me. i would look sick if I lighten my skin. I also mentioned not using whitening products so why do you have to tell me to do so
You know.. I’m kind of disappointed because when I was a teenager and migrated in the US, I had an identity crisis. I definitely questioned how I look.. and sometimes people would have these assumptions about Filipina women. I definitely had a hard time accepting my hair color and my skin tone. I would always compare myself to my white friends and other asian friends who had lighter skin (chinese and mostly koreans) and would try to get whitening products, even take glutathione pills to get my skin to be lighter. I remember I watched this interview and instantly felt empowered and seen. I stopped dying my hair blonde and embraced my beautiful healthy black hair and I also embraced my brown skin. Because I stopped trying to fit in, I discovered I gained more confidence I exude confidence because of this interview! People can feel my confidence and compliments my skintone. Now I’m disappointed that your new interview, you dismissed your Filipino roots. I held onto this interview from Popsugar when I was a teenager and it helped me a lot. Hard to defend.. was it a “honest mistake” i dont know..
Can we stop with this nonsense? 🙄 parents don't have their kids for their kids, they do it for themselves. We don't have to get on our knees and kiss our parents feet for shit. We're not SUPPOSED to. They did their JOB. No one gets thanked for doing their job.
She was just insecure being asian because all her friends were white and she wanted to blend in being fully white (not mixed), but now since the media is shown that half mixed girls are extremely beautiful she’s finally satisfied. But honestly I could relate with her because I have also the same insecurities. Although she did not embrace her heritage or say I’m proud I’m a filipina.. which she should because that’s the whole point of all of this. She still doesn’t sound fully proud but at least she’s satisfied now.
Seriously, if you're part filipino and the other is foreign (american, german, etc) you'll look great. MAYBE THAT'S A NICE MIX OF GENES 😃 almost half of the artist in the philippines do have a foreign blood :D
+Darth Immortal i guess she's pure filipina. (almost modern filipinos inherited a similarity on the face of spaniards, japanese,chinese and americans) that's why even if one's pure filipino its far from the face of filipino origins.
+Darth Immortal yes! but we are in this genre that tends to criticize physical appearance. pure filipino looks are: dark in color, does not have pointy and proud nose, short in height etc.. nowadays, those looks are the things we don't appreciate. right? :(
She is beautiful.🇵🇭💯 Hoping you can interview another Filipino powerhouse SB19. I believe they will inspire a lot of your viewers to be confident and embrace diversity, so we can get rid of animosity. Thank you and Godspeed ❤️
TRANSLATION : As beautiful as Shay is, & as great as her Filipina🇵🇭 heritage is, the "White Standard of Beauty" is WORLDWIDE/International ! And that's SAD !😔
I've have very, very white skin and sometimes I hate it and sometimes I don't. My natural haircolor is a lt. to med. brown very pretty. My ancestry is : Italian, Polish, Irish and Slovak. I was never teased or bullied in school, nothing like that, I guess cause we all looked the same. During summer break I would get the darkest tans and my hair would lighten up so much when I would go back to school in Sept. my teachers would always ask me If I spent the summer in Florida or Hawaii (I wish) but I'd say no I'm just always outside playing with my friends all summer. As I got older and didn't "play" outside with my friends in the summer like I used to, I wasn't getting those phenomenal tans anymore, which I didn't mind anyway after I learned how damaging the sun is to the skin and tanning beds as well. I guess my point is that I've always wanted very dark hair, while evetybody wants to be a blonde, I rather be a very dk. brunette which is why I color my hair and my skin is pale. If I had my preference when I was a child I would have preferred to have dark, dark hair naturally and a nice tan color to my skin natural and dark almost black eyes. I think it's because my one friend growing up looked that way naturally and it was different than the rest of us and she was just as loved and excepted as all of us were. Sometimes being different is better than us all looking the same. We all see beauty different. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Kara, this clip is not about you , your ancestry nor even you whiteness. Nobody is asking for dark compliments . You are giving yourself cool browny points. Disappear gracefully
Lechiffresix six This is a "Public Forum" and I can comment, make a statement, and have my opinion. If you don't like it then tough SHIT! Go fuck of gracefully!
Karen McCann Im from philippines and my dad is from poland. Everyone here is accepting me and very nice to me. i have very light skin whick filipinos love but when i went to chicago and enrolled for a summer school i felt not welcomed bec i look like a typical american.. unlike when im in philippines they ( stores and brands ) give me freebies so i can shout them out at my instagram. so i guess yeah the beauty is in the beholder!
SHAMCYYY WILL Pinoys absolutely adore light skin , they would do anything to wake up one day and be white. hence why you get all these freebies. it amazes me that enough plain looking mixed race are adored in Pinoiland simply because the skin is light lol!
She may not have mentioned her Filipino traditions but you guys are missing the point. She’s embracing who she is and how she truly looks today and that’s what’s important.
@@stylledog3851 Lol Thanks For The Correction And Im Sure We're All Aware Of That.. The OPs Makes It Seem As If American Is A Race And I'm Saying Thats Ridiculous Their Not Even The Indigenous People..
+Patsy I wouldn't say that about yourself. She also isn't 100% Filipino. I believe she is half white. So she has alot more white American features to her face. I would have never guessed she was Filipino.If you're 100% Filipino then you have to find the beauty in being Filipino and try not comparing yourself to someone who is only half Filipino!
+Karen McCann I get that. My family's 1/4 Spanish, and all of my cousins look like they do have that gene...I just wished I kind of at least looked even the slightest bit attractive because...ughh.
Patsy You know some of the most atttractive girls in the world think they're ugly and many girls in their teens go thru an ugly phase. I don't know how old you are and that's not my business but even adults can go thru an ugly phase. I'm sure you're. a very pretty girl! Sometimes our own perception of ourselves is different than what other people see when they look at us. Believe me I've been thru that, mostly all girls have at sometime or another. Embrace your inner and outer beauty and don't forget to love yourself!
Patsy, sounds like you have issues about your own self esteem.....I would advice to go see a psychiatrist to fix your "programmable" mind. I would start reading how to love yourself first before you start loving others.......understand your own beauty and uniqueness then you can be "beautiful" to anyone when you begin to understand your "own beauty" and not what you hear or see on TV what is beautiful "suppose to be" ....... most beauty kits can be bought but true beauty "comes within"...........and that's when you can appreciate who you are and not what you think you "are"
