Re: Plastic Surgery: Please Help Me Understand

Something that worries me when you mention ethnic groups is the attempt to eliminate racial features. It is disturbing to see African people cutting their noses up, Asians removing the layer of skin so that their eyes do not look "Mongoloid". This seems to indicate some dislike for one's own natural features. I would extend this to seemingly common things like Anglo-saxons getting fake tans or using solariums and the proliferation of braces on every child's teeth. I think this artifice is shallow and misguided.
In a nutshell, the thing that bothers me is the narrowing of acceptable natural features. Whilst I know there was no time in history where perfection was achieved in terms of acceptance of natural features, I am simply saying that I don't like the trend towards surgery to eliminate those features that make us unique.
