Barbie shares dreams with girls for over 45 years sonce 1959.  To some extent, Barbie becomes an icon for beauty and luxurious life.  Apparently, Barbie is always beautiful and in shape.  It's almost impossible to maintain that good shape through the years.\n\nSome parents are worried about their children would like to take barbie as a role model in keeping good shape.  Yet, it seems impossible to have the small waist-line like barbie.  Children might be in danger to lose weight and to do the unneccessary diet programme to keep the shape like the doll.  Some parents think that Barbie promotes the wrong attitude about weight and shape to teenagers these day.\n\nThe reason why Barbie has to have the small waist and comparien to real human Barbie is so skinny: Check this out,clothes and materials for her fashion are generally for real human size.  Comparing to real human size, barbie is about 1/6 tall.  The thickness of the clothes and material would look inappropriate to fit the doll if the doll as the real proportion of real human shape.  (Materials for clothes are generally made for real human size, once it's on the doll, it shows the thickness and made the doll look exagerrated fat)  That is the reason why doll maker has to keep the doll shap as thin as possible, so when Barbie wears a fashion it would look just right.\n\nThere was an attempt to produce doll which has the appropriate propotion to real human size, but the selling was not successful.  Barbie is still the best for little girl's choice.  Even Barbie might unintentionally promote the unneccessary keeping skinny shape, but having said that, Barbie is still representing gir's dreams, fantasy, ambitions, and a pleasure look to everyone.  Do you agree with me? =)

I don't think you can say one is lighter then the other.  they are pretty close, but one has more yellow tones to her skin (can't remember which one)  It also depends on their makeup and lighting.  \n\nBut I dunno, can you name any black person who's naturally lighter skinned then Micheal Jackson?  lol

I am Asian and i believe that black women are alot better then their white counterparts.  White women have this superiority complex about them.  They think they are better then everyone.  Black women are more down to earth and are really sweet.  White women are on the bottom of my list to date.  This is my honest opinion.

what is the matter with you anyway? I bet you are one of those blacks who went to an all-white school and was teased about your African features...get over it! Look in the mirror every morning and learn to love what God gave you. Convince yourself that you are somebody special and you are beautiful because God loves variety and concentrating more on being educated and bettering yourself as a person instead of your looks.

Do girls outperform boys at every step of education?\n\nDoes race affect performance in education?\n\nWhat are the benefits of covert research as opposed to overt research?

The blacker the girl/he the better they look.\n\nBasically black skin is beautiful...that's the point of this quote.

I personally love black women. I agree with you about the stereotypes hurting them. Think about this though: every trait that black men have historically thought wonderful about black women are now popular in America through the miracles of plastic surgery.\n\nGo back some years before these procedures and you will find certain establishments (Hollywood and other arts) turning down black women who had fine tight shapes due to "too african" (full lips and high butt) or some other similarly concocted racist crap. Not anymore.\n\nYou see, the problem isn't that black women aren't beautiful, it's that other cultures refuse to acknowledge that beauty unless they can copy it among themselves. Thus the butt-injection, lip-injection, and skin darkening.

Though I have to admit Blacks look better in clothes usually than Whites do, I really don't hate being White. And I think we've all gotten to the stage where it doesn't matter to Blacks what Whites think of them - only a small percentage of Blacks measure themselves against whites. What's the point? There are too many differences. I'm of English background, so my skin doesn't tan much. That's restricting, because too much sun these days can lead to skin cancer, so I avoid the sun. Black skin has more oil so Blacks age better. Lucky you guys! Then again, I'm not too concerned about aging. I have never been particularly attracted to Black men - I go for personality more than looks. I've dated guys of many different races. People are people. Anyway, don't evaluate yourself in relation to Whites - it doesn't make sense.

Teenage boys are pretty superficial and haven't lived long enough to be able to appreciate the attributes of what other (like, not anorexic looking) women have to offer. Don't worry too much about it.

I don't know what your purpose is for this research... but I think you will find that it is pointless to try to label black american teen culture. You mentioned hip-hop trends as being popular among black teens but hip-hop culture is not exclusive to the black population, and its not exclusive to the United States either. I assure you there are kids in Latvia who ride to Chamillionare's raps just like kids in the third ward of Houston do. And while music may or may not affect one's dominant culture, let me stress that this is America. There are so many sub-cultures in this country and so many overlaps between them that it seems like if you want to talk about trends among youth, you can't generalize and at the same time limit the discussion to black culture. Because really American culture is the common denominator. So whatever youre trying to find out, beware of oversimplified results.

People are still prefer their own race. A documentary was on TV recently that showed how black women preferred black men over white and hispanic. The men had to earn an average salary higher than the black man to even be considered.\n\nYou theory about black guys pertains to black women only. Hispanic and white women both preferred their own races in this study. Search CNN for more information.

Although your questions deals more with race than with sexuality, a brief observation is in order: heterosexual intercourse being exclusively the ordinary route to natural human procreation, lifelong homosexuality is understandably rare among persons.\n\nPerhaps as a consequence of this, most cultures seem to have adopted a 2-person form for romantic relationships -- and in some instances, homosexual relationships are sanctioned by the State.\n\nHaving so stated, and in answer to the particulars of your question, this is what I recall from my college studies:\n\nThe following sociological stereotypes were derived by scientists from years of observation, and apply only when the entire earth population of each group is considered: caucasoid males and negroid females tend to be assertive, caucasoid females and negroid males tend to be submissive.\n\nBecause race is a function of evolution, were it not for advances in travel, there would be virtually no interracial couples.  The ancient aphorism is "birds of a feather flock together."\n\nAssertive persons tend to affiliate themselves with others on the basis of ideological compatibility; submissive persons tend to affiliate themselves with others on aesthetic grounds.\n\nNote: ideological compatibility does not preclude selfish motives; in fact, hope to realize one or more selfish aims may be for each party in a couple a driving influence (or even the sole influence).\n\nBeauty is subjective, but within cultural groups exist parameters common to the definition of a standard.  When this observation is applied on a global basis, caucasian women are generally more attractive than negroid women.\n\nThat doesn't mean there aren't stunning "Nubian" women, anymore than it means that there aren't any buggly "white" women.  Rather, it simply acknowledges a general trend that is always going to be locally rebuttable.\n\nOrdinarily, opposites attract (think of the poles of a magnet): assertive men desire as domestic companions submissive women, and vice-versa; however, the value of the aesthetic cannot be simply dismissed.\n\nAesthetic appeal is not limited to the beauty of physical form -- shape, color, tone, vocalization, etc. -- but includes personality.\n\nWith the exacerbation of competitive demands throughout both the global economy and local economies, psychoemotional pressures will continue to increase against effective assertive personalities -- (thus making them increasingly likely to be jerks).\n\nBy contrast, submissive personalities tend either to regard fate as cyclical or inevitable, and cope with the demands of life in a much more carefree manner.  This can't be lost on the "white women" that seem to crave "black men," and vice-versa.

i think that the white parents are coming off as being extremely ignorant and out of touch. i can however understand that until you have experienced racial discrimination on a real and regular basis, that it would be easy to see it as "over-reacting" (e.g., the situation in the clothing store). i think the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. the white girl is the best so far. the black boy seems pretty indifferent on the whole thing.

I actually just read an article written by a black woman about how she was tired of men assuming she was just some big-lipped, big-butt sex object.  Whenever guys payed her compliments (especially white males) it usually had something to do with how they were "into her chocolate love" or "wanted a black girl to boss them around in bed" or something else racist and degrading.  She wished people could just tell her something nice without pointing out that she was black.  How about we just compliment people for who they are and forget their skin-color-stereostypes?  There are millions of nice things that can be said of all women, and each woman is different -- they are all beatifully and wonderfully made; they are individuals.

I would date a black girl. To be honest (and attempting not to be Micheal Richards) the majority of the black culture is very unappealing to me. However, I've known a handful of black people that I can get along with and hang out with. So if I found a compatible match then it wouldn't bother me.

no, it is exactly alike, hormones and diet and lifestyle is what effects this, it has nothing whatsoever to do with race
