Date: 2014-05-21 02:02 am (UTC)personally i think she also had her eyes tweaked. she used to have much more prominent eye bags and i think she also evened out her eyelids because she used to have one eye that was bigger/different shape

Date: 2014-05-20 06:51 pm (UTC)JESSICA: I hope we appear pretty and charming. Americans first think about ‘eyes without double-eyelids’ when they think of Asians. I hope we appear, not like those typical Asians, but different.

Date: 2014-05-20 06:59 pm (UTC)she phrased the other half of the statement the wrong way tho

Date: 2014-05-20 07:01 pm (UTC)cl talked before about how she wants to break stereotypes about asian women, but she did it in a much better way.

Date: 2014-05-20 07:39 pm (UTC)ive met so many people that think like this. when she lived in america she probably met so many people who have been racist towards her and categorised her as "ugly" because of her eyes. i hear many people on a daily basis refer to asians as "ugly ching chongs", "ugly ping pongs" and other racist&offensive terms and when they're asked why they think that, they pretty much always refer to their eyes so this sentence is most likely based off her personal experience and hence why i thought that by itself this sentence was pretty truthful
however with the combination of the rest of the quote, start and ending, it sounds messy af so i agree on the overall implication. i read the whole interview and its so clear that krystal had more training in public speaking so jessica should learn something from her tbh even jessica's quote on cooking was a bit questionable to me
and ofc she did, tbh cl > sica

Date: 2014-05-21 11:47 am (UTC)Her quote was just rude as fuck especially the I hope we don't appear like those Asians part... So she's saying that there are Asians who do look like that but they are "typical" and she doesn't think they are pretty/charming

Date: 2014-05-20 07:36 pm (UTC)The first thing European people say to me, when they meet me for the first time is: "You're pretty tall for an Asian!" Yes, it's also a stereotype, but well...
Mind you, I do have double-eyelids by nature, but I still think that Sica's comment was rude (and she is my ultimate female bias in KPop).

Date: 2014-05-21 04:42 am (UTC)I read it as "Americans stereotype Asians as being plain faced, monolid/tiny eyed and stuff but we wanna show them that it's not true and we don't all look the same" or something. She was simply pointing out Americans' skewed vision of what Asians look like, it's just that her wording was awkward.
no subject
Date: 2014-05-21 10:51 am (UTC)Why the use of "pretty and charming" then? She just should have said that Americans have the typical "all Asian look the same and have monolid eyes" mentality and that they wanted to show them that not all Asians look the same, but why use the words "pretty and charming" and then saying that they don't look like those Asians. It's like she's clearly implying that people with monolids aren't pretty and charming enough and she feels more attractive only for having double eyelids. That's pretty much the mentality in SK and it's gross tbh.
no subject
Date: 2014-05-21 09:14 pm (UTC)And like I said, I think she's just awkward with words. The girl is surrounded by Asians people every day of her life, I think she would know that monolids do not equal ugly. It probably sounded fine in her head but she didn't realize that the way it came out could be misunderstood.

Date: 2014-05-21 11:51 am (UTC)Isn't she saying that there are Asians without double eyelids but she thinks they are typical and not ~pretty and charming~ like herself
