I have no idea why everyone on facebook is filling my wall with images of black kids with Blue Eyes, commenting on the children's beauty.
Anyway, while of couse I think the babies are beautiful, I can't help wondering why almost everyone's comments where centered on the beauty of the Blue eyes. Not one comment on the skin or the hair; what makes this kid beautiful is the white characteristic, the light blue eyes.
These photos are usually posted in places saying how racism is bad- but really, the way they are viewed just perpetuates the idealization of ther white beauty Model. Just paired with brown skin.
We see this in the fashion industry too, where almost all black models have white characteristics.
