Please read this passage from a popular book Eclipse from the Twilight saga.
"My first impression of Kim was that she was a nice girl, a little shy, and a little plain. She had a wide face, mostly cheekbones, with eyes too small to balance them out. Her nose and mouth were both too broad for traditional beauty. Her flat black hair was thin and wispy in the wind that never seemed to let atop the cliff."
-Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer, page 242
This is the description of a Native American, Kim, with the common features of a Native American person.

idk, i think she couldve also described her as a very beautiful native american, but i mean not eryone in the world is a supermodel. there has to be someone who isn't gorgeous, i guess by chance kim got stuck playin the role of 'beauty relief' i guess you could call it. lol. i mean, admit it. twilight has all these gorgeous hot vamps, and it's a girl's romance novel so really all the guys in it are supposed to be hot. u kno, i actually see more sexism than racism in the books. just a random eye opening epiphany there.
ReplyDeleteyup wayyyyyyy more sexisum then rasisum, but hey shes mormin what do you expec?? on the other hand the 'classical beuty' or 'traditional beuty' thats the rascist bit, because there always white....but thats just an observation
