I like cute hot chicks on billboards. I dont want to see some fat chick with a mole on her nose and green hair advertising noodles during my commute.

DEI has morphed into Discrimination, Exclusion and Intimidation

 

Look out if you don't fit the woke narrative.

They want to look like Japanese women , whiter skin and

more beautiful.

Chinese, the Tai who invaded Thailand from S China and suppressed the natives, who had  darker skin. It is typical of conquered people to try to emulate their new rulers. For once it can't be blamed on Europeans I think....

Would she complain about the lack of white models on the billboards in Lagos?

I'd be curious to know how many have been diagnosed with a mental "condition" and are on brain-altering medication. I'm guessing 100%.

"Upon arriving in Bangkok...I was immediately struck by the advertisements surrounding me....This homogenous portrayal of beauty seemed at odds with the diverse backgrounds I grew up with in Canada and the United States."

 

Typical American lefty traveller, immediately critical of their host country.   Doesn't matter the topic they expect the rest of the world to cater to their wants and feelings.  

 

Get a load of these two San Franciscans failing in France.  Beyond comical.

Does every topic have to be political? Try and realize there are millions who aren't lefty or righty. many are in the middle, neutral. And being on the left means you want equality. Being extreme left is a different matter. That some Thais want to be white is strange enough. They're Thais and should be proud of that brown skin. White skin is for those who already have it. Tan skin looks beautiful, and many try for a tan every year. Pasty isn't attractive. But to each their own if they want to look white.  Most Americans aren't out to change others, as they love the other cultures, seeing they spend so much money traveling to see them. Prejudice is everywhere, including that reply.
