Tyra Banks is my new hero.
I can't believe I'm doing it. I'm home, on a Monday night watching a re-run of "The Tyra Banks Show". I know what you're thinking, I'm thinking it too - this is pathetic. But Tyra, crazy as she is, is actually broadcasting something very interesting. She's "investigating" how different cultures view bodytypes.
This "investigation" is no news to me. Every school research paper, be it Criminology, Math or English has been written to educate everyone who would read it about the gross unfairness of beauty in our society. Yes, you read correctly, I had research papers due in Math, and even then, I wrote about ninnies.
Tyra has a panel of 4 women: 1 Asian 1 Caucasion (and how i wish these fucking people would call themseves white) 1 Black and 1 Latina. Of course, the Asian woman and the White woman like the skinny, no butt, no boob size 0 women, and the Black and Latina woman believe that curves are better. They believe that a size 12 is not fat, a woman should have a booty and some boob. I'll try my best to stay on track here, because what they see as "big boobs" might be laughable.
Giggle ridden or not, I believe these expectations to be true. White women tend to think skinny is in, and I follow in suit, hating "the girls", eating salads, and desperately resisting the urge to confiscate the pie the boy next to me ordered at lunch.
It calms me to know, that not only am I gender confused, but now I know I'm the perfect weight/heght/booby size for any women who is not Asian or White.
Yeah, I'll get right on that.

I'd comment but I have severed my tongue while trying to bite it.
