Pacific Rim Miss Universe contestants
Hosted on Yahoo!.

A couple of months ago I griped about how the shift to a U.S.-style diet has ruined the Asian porn industry, at least for still photography, because many of the distinctive features associated with Asian women in the 70s and 80s were due to their lower-fat diet. More evidence of that today in the news. I mean, look at these girls, the Pacific Rim contestants vying for the Miss Universe title: other than the shape of their eyes, is there anything to them that doesn't say "I could have grown up in L.A., or Kansas City, or Miami?"

My family immigrated from Taiwan to the US in late 1988. A few years ago when we went to China, people there thought my sister (16 at the time) was a college student. She and I were the same height as people nearly twice our age.

A disturbing trend among many asian women in the US is an obsession with thinness and/or their obsession with acquiring caucasian features. My sister falls into this trend a bit, since she does her best to protect herself against tanning. I've seen and heard of other Asian girls who have the bump on the middle of their noses removed, an extra fold added to their eyelids.
