Tyra Banks-Asian Eyelid Surgery 

yeah I know right the girl told her about her insecurities and reasons for getting surgery but tyra refuses to acknowledge it and tries to tell the that she is insecure based on her insecurities and how in America it's only black and white not only is there racial profiling

Bingo

NoNori well when you talk out of your ass... real gon call you out

I spent probably my whole life trying to get rid of stereotypes about Asian Versus Caucasian appearances. I grew up in a family where both my parents had thick double eyelids. Only my two sisters and my grandma were born with monolids. It bothered me people would come up to us and ask where we were from, if we were mixed or if we had surgery. My parents made it clear that where they are from which is more south east China, a lot of people have double eyelids. I studied humanities in college and i learned anthropologically speaking the fold does not make a person Caucasian. The fold is believed to be a evolutionary adaptation. Monolids are more common in Northern East Asia as the fatty eyelids helps to insulate against harsh winters. Double eyelids are common south because it is more humid and hot. Believe it or not Caucasians can also have monolids. It is mostly seen in more northern regions of Europe. As for myself I have a mix of my grandma's monolid and my parents double eyelids so I have what is called tapered eyelids. I use double eyelid tape on rare occasions, mostly when filming or formal events. I am also a insomniac, when I have restless sleep, my eyelids feel heavy and stretches out into a monolid. There is actually a medical condition called Ptosis which sometimes require eyelid surgery. So I think its wrong to assume everyone who wants double eyelids, do it to look "Caucasian"

@@Ladeliciadelinda Your last statement is my very same sentiment. I've had this surgery but without the intention of looking like a Caucasian. You will still look Asian even after having it. She is implying superiority to be honest as if Asians don't want to embrace themselves and wants to be Caucasian.

@@Ladeliciadelinda Most chinese have single eye lids. But there are more people in China who have natural double eye lids since the population is bigger and more variety. Korean and Japanese have less people with double eye lids only like 2% of the population

Truth hurts

democrazy I bet you are Japanese. Btw that surgery is invented in Japan

Guilty of what? Having found out her nose was broken? Shut your dumbass up.

@@girlbaby9311 why are you bringing Japanese into this? A lot of people get eyelid surgery. And I’m pretty sure that it was invented in Korea during wartime.

Tyra may admit she does surgery and have weaves but she's one of the most self hating biracial people. Fake hair, and fake nose etc.🙄🙄🤣🤣

Girl shut up. Know your facts before talking. Tyra's nose was broken and when she found out she decided to fix it.

Tyra is a white wannabe, she had a child with a white guy

@@romanzmlv1458 Tyra doesn't have kids

Because she wanted to be a super model that bad

@@abigailwilliams8889 Lol if only I had a dollar every time I heard that excuse from people that got a nose job.

The truth does hurt but she's just being honest.

Tyra has a narrative that she wants the guest to go along with

she always bullied POC but when it comes to white people she would glorify them

FR, the girl tries to explain that she did it to look more American not white and Tyra tells her she’s doing it to look more white lol

@@janicejanisjan Being racist?

i agree.

+BellamyBlue Your's is temporary 'surgery', double eyelid is permanent surgery.

+BellamyBlue tyra is not part black. she is fully african american but i can see why you would think she mixed.

tyra ain't a hypocrite cuz she admitted to it and was honest about it.

Thank you.

Chile that's a wig, she all natural up under there

Lol she interupt with Naomi back in 2005.

Tyra is speaking that way in this video because she sees through the Asian women's BS lies and denials.

@@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8 No it's not bullshit lies and denial, it's sheer ignorance from Tyra because she is assuming that Korean people want bigger eyes because they want to look more white (which is bullshit). Tyra is applying her own experiences as an African American woman to this woman's choices, when she clearly doesn't have a clue about Korean culture lol. As always she just has to put the focus onto herself: "Look at my hair, this is why I do this. I'm so understanding and smart, and everyone is going to admire me for assuming you think and feel just like me". White people may naturally have bigger eyes, but that doesn't mean that Asian people want bigger eyes because they want to look caucasian 😂 Large eyes have been seen as a mark of beauty in Korea for thousands of years (probably before they knew that white people even existed lol).

ALittleBrittles haha Bravo!

WMAF is toxic. Proven fact. Truth hurts huh?

Exactly!!!

at least the Asian woman should be honest about it. her reasons that her eyes were sagging giving her a tired look was obviously BS

@@emperorqianlong6579 Lmaooooo not the WMAFs!

+Jacelyn C THANK YOU! Double eyelids occur in about 50% of Asians, NATURALLY. I really hate how the media is being disingenuous about this. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2884917/

some asians do tho 😂 but not all

The only reason some asians have natural double eyelids is cuz they come from mixed race parants. It was pretty common especially during the war. People would claim both parants are asian but never addmited or knew the parant was of mixed race. And that's how it is eith all cultures. The odd ones out are typically mixed

You words hold no credence. You grew in China. She didn't. She has a completely different experience as an Asian American.

I naturally have double eyelid

Tyra is not rude here, she is simply pointing out the truth and a lot of times the truth hurts. Tyra understands the emotions because she is also a minority who went through similar experiences.

Wayne Galaxy yes!!! Does everyone forgets that Indians are Asian too and we have pretty huge eyes and eyelids with brown skin tone we are not Caucasian we are Asian too. Duh....

hina ansari sane with blacks

retrofusion456 lol

Yeah. And she would say yes to those questions, like she did in the video.

wrkin90044 can I get an amen? That’s the exact thing I was saying. White people are not the only people with double eyelids Tyra.

wrkin90044 exactly even she has them

@@audrawilson8347 Tyra is just frustrated herself because her fake beauty is driven by this imaginary white beauty herself. She thinks everyone is like her. 😂😂😂 she was so passive aggressive with the poor girl.

@@dakotawinchester No she was not she didnt get eyelid surgery to look whiye

I don't know if you know but the hair color does not indicate race. There are Asians who naturally have blonde hair. Celebrities choose to have different colors of hair including purple, red, white, blonde and etc. They just choose those colors that match their concept of the song. Also, eyelid surgery does not make Asians look like Caucasians. I don't know where you get those references, but Asians have different bone structures, medial canthal ligaments, muscle, and fats around the eye. It is impossible to make Asian eyes into Caucasian with surgery. So it does not make sense to reason Asians get eyelid surgery to look like Caucasians. Asians simply get eyelid surgery to look 'prettier' because as you know when human face features look like a baby such as big eyes, we are engineered to think those faces are very cute. Also, as this comment says, because of the fat in the eyelid unlike other races, Asian eyes get droopy. So a lot of senior Asians get eyelid surgery to remove fat. These misunderstandings need to be clarified and I hope my comment may correct your prejudice that you might get from the wrong source. Thanks.

@@dmoon5095 thank you

Alot don't maybe south east asians. East asians hardly any Japanese and korean have double eye lid surgery

@@dmoon5095 full blooded Orientals don't have blonde or ginger hair. And hardly any koreans have natural double eye lids

It's called white privilege.

+braveheart20121 You're now 1 step closer to being Caucasian. Truth is it 'helps' you attract white people.

Shar Shar White people aren't the only ones with double eyelids, Asians have them too.

Emily Hart agreed.

Emily Hart right

Wow.

Asian eyes are also found in northern European tribes and Siberia and some southern African tribes.

CHINESE & KOREANS GET EYELID & OTHER SURGERIES TO LURE WHITE PEOPLE INTO MARRYING THEM. They have successfully married whites in good numbers since doing this surgery in the 80s. Because they want their children to have bigger eyes. IN CHINESE CUSTOMS, YOU'RE ONLY BEAUTIFUL IF YOU HAVE BIGGER EYES. Ask a Chinese senior if you don't believe. (China & Korea are the plastic surgery capitals of the world.) IT'S NOT RACISM WHY THEY DO THIS SURGERIES IN USA, Australia, Canada, England & others. Why? Because Chinese in China & Koreans in Korea get this surgeries too, in the same %, around 80% of them. This girl got teased in elementary, but did this surgery now ?? that she no longer gets tease but at the age ready to get marry. Not all Asians have small eyes. A good portion of Vietnamese & Indonesians & others. NOT ALL ASIANS HAVE SMALL EYES. A good portion of Vietnamese & Indonesians & others have double eyelids. Google it.

Jamba Lyer I never said all Asians have small eyes, WTH? Most Asiatic people do have noticeable eye folds and different eye shapes, but eye folds and shape varies from regions or ethnic groups. I know there are some Asian countries or cultures that have high rates of surgeries to remove eye folds to meet a certain standards of their country, but some of that is attributed to the Eurocentric West. People can counter that, and say that some Whites have issues with their skin color and want to get tans or darken their hair. Some Whites have surgical enhancements because they want bigger booties or breast because they may see that in other ethnic groups or it maybe to just meet the perceptions of the West's standards of beauty. .

Jamba Lyer Yeah. And her boyfriend was against it. GO figure.

Noone fucking says anything when white ppl risk getting skin cancer to get darker and spend lots of money & time @ the tanning salon. Doesn't mean they are hating, everyone just wants what they don't have, that's just life

*REALLY?* 😮

What do you mean she final admitted? She says it about her hair. She acknowledges the internal racism.

But the crease exaggerates the eye size and makes it look bigger as well as physically making it vertically larger.

J Mo No ! crease don't exaggerates the eyesize ! U can tell through the before and after picture ..and eyesize is an eyesize a crease is a crease !!look her eyes don't appears big even she went to double eyelid surgery !it only makes a double wrickle ..it only appears bigger if she puts eye make up on her eyes !!

J Mo No ! crease don't exaggerates the eyesize ! U can tell through the before and after picture ..and eyesize is an eyesize a crease is a crease !!look her eyes don't appears big even she went to double eyelid surgery !it only makes a double wrickle ..it only appears bigger if she puts eye make up on her eyes !!

+J Mo there are a lot of asians that have natural double eyelids but still their eyes is small !!

Bt it does make a difference. Especially from far, the crease makes it know that your eye is there.

Totally agree.

Oh my gosh. I just posted a reply and I had the same type of answer about wanting to be white while in my mom's womb too.

+marmie cobby She looks like Asian with a different ethnicity. Keep in mind that a lot of South-East Asians have natural double eye lid. Not East Asians - China, Korea, Japan. They are not playing fair by doing this surgery

+Sony Sony usually I don't pay attention to people like you. But my hair is very real. If anyone is being a bully here is you

+marmie cobby bully who me? Hahaaa are u having a giraffe u ignorant bitch. Attention seeker if u dont pay attention to people like me why reply????? Simply ignore.....u still look black with ur fake hair tho still very beautiful dont get me wrong!!!!

Shar Shar I’m East Asian (Hongkonger) and 95% ppl I know have double eyelids. U dunno anything u r talking about

​@@ggwhy224 thats not true because even many Southeast Asians have monolids but like the other poster stated double eyelids are just more common in Southeast Asia than it is in East Asia...same as brown skin tones are more common in Southeast Asia and just more diversity overall

Yolanda Noe well, she did say that. Did you watch the video?

She admitted it idiot unlike the oriental women denying the reason she did it

Right.... Which she stated herself. Can you listen critically or?

Hardly any chinese, koreans and japanese have double eye lids. Maybe like 2% of the population. Chinese might have more double eye lid then the koreans and japanese since the population is bigger and more variety.

Asian American / White American Interracial marriage statistic 2009 Vietnamese men/ white women: 12045 Vietnamese women/ white men: 15408 Japanese men/ white women: 23345 Japanese women/ white men: 52580 Filipino men/ white women: 21893 Filipino women/ white men: 25450 Hmong men/ white women: 2232 Hmong women/ white men: 6532 Taiwanese men/ white women: 4350 Taiwanese women/ white men: 22805 Korean men/ white women: 9410 Korean women/ white men: 47058 Chinese men/ white women: 19545 Chinese women / White men: 22869 Laos men/ white women: 3054 Laos women/ white men: 1250 Cambodian men/ white women: 2350 Cambodian women/ white men: 1028

@@Zain94336 every other Asian ethnic has more variety than Koreans

That’s why Tyra attacked her. She’s jealous

Yes she is prettier the her

The double eyelid surgery also represented assimilation. It was used to help Asian War Brides better assimilate into the US by having eyes that look more Caucasian. After all, these were Asian war brides were marrying into white families.

So these Asian people looking more white plastic surgeries were literally rooted in racism. All the more reason to support Tyra in this context.

@@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8 AKA, wanting to be white, like Tyra so bluntly stated. Which is right.

@@samuraijosh1595 Thank you. One of the only critical thinkers here in the comments section.

@@devoutburrito my comment has been deleted by RU-vid. Can you tell me what I wrote.

Absolutely. She’s such a B.

I was about to post that. And many Asians do the surgery when they're born with monolid. And monolid can be beautiful.

True. Not all asians look same. North east asians have mobolid eyes in general ( i said general. There are people with double lid eyes) and tend to have fair skin with small upper nose while south east people in general have doublelid eyes, and olive skin and flat nose ( but there are people with higher nose. Not much) .

You learned about internalized racism from the Tyra show over a decade ago. Congrats to you for getting educated for free.

Please dont talk like youre korean and know everything about korea lmao. Yeah everyone in korean can afford mollion won surgery .Yeh korea is the richest country int he world ! There are MANY natural celebrities. And korean american community, is actually really different. Lmao.Ignorance.

Whats stupid, is that she is prettier then the average American girl for sure! Possibly an average asian, although in general they look hot. (I'm not asian)

People can't think and are idiots, that's why this has so many dislikes.

Eyelid surgery is one of the most common plastic surgeries in South Korea, where virtually everyone is Asian, so I don't agree with what you're saying. I don't think her being surrounded by white people had anything to do with it really. She just wanted big eyes, and Caucasian people might just so happen to have big eyes, but she does not make her look any less Asian because of it and she probably knew that all along.
