We see more and more Asian hate around the world nowadays. What started us off was when the pandemic hit and our world was shutting down, many people started to blame Asian people for starting it. Which we know that race has nothing to do with the pandemic. The results showed that stereotypes of Asian American women are alive and well in the current social context of America. These stereotypes contribute to experiences of marginalization, invisibility, and oppression that these participants have faced in the past and continue to face today.
These results support other research findings that Asian American women face both subtle and blatant discrimination in their personal relationships and their professional lives, from bosses, professors, colleagues, subordinates, partners, family, and friends.

There are very few foundation or concealer shades that are dark enough to match the skintone of people of colour.

Brands such as Fenty, debuted by Rhianna in 2017, focused on disrupting the limitation of available pigments and shades for darker skin tones.

Their hair and skin are not Caucasian. Their needs are different than mine.

It has been difficult to find products that work for their hair and skin.

This can be achieved by first acknowledging that we’re human and that we do harbor racial stereotypes. Next, we should work to become more aware of our inner thoughts and feelings and how they affect our beliefs and actions. When we have a stereotypical thought about a racial group, we should follow it up with an alternative thought based on factual information that discounts the stereotype. ]]> 2022-04-29 01:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/miajburzynski/phlzd5lmd7e11oz1/wish/2163590189 miajburzynski https://padlet.com/miajburzynski/phlzd5lmd7e11oz1/wish/2163597076 The curriculum taught in beauty school is based on two main textbooks: Milady and Pivot Point.

Typically, the only information we get about highly textured hair is a brief overview of relaxers, which people aren't wearing as much as they used to.
