I'm dating a Korean chick right now and from what I gather, its not so much that they want to be White but rather have certain features. Is a nasal bridge or double eyelid/round eyes exclusive to Whites? Because last I checked I have them, Arabs have them, Indians got 'em and so do all Hispanics. :hmm:
Personally I think Asian women are lucky because they seem to age at 1/5th the speed a White woman does. Most White girls I dated (I'm 35) when I was in my 20s that are my age look haggard now yet the half Chinese girl still looks young. My gf is 31 and everyone thinks she's 24 and are shocked when she mentions being over 30. So I'd rather have skin that endures aging vs having to get botox + plastic surgery just to keep it from hanging off my face. Lastly, Asian chicks don't have much hair at all vs other ethnicity's, so I guess when White girls and others get their hair lasered off, they must be trying to look Asian?
I think there certainly is merit to the argument that some want to look White (and I've even said as much before) but I don't think that anyone can claim it applies to 100% of those seeking to augment their looks with surgery in Korea.
P.S. The vast majority of the ones I know don't want to look White but rather like Kim Tae Hee who everyone in Korea idolizes (she's natural):
