If you stated facts then they would be applicable to me. But they are not, and this is a fact.
Did you even look at the links that I provided, or are you just going to churn out blog posts?
Ok going by your first link:How Beauty Is Defined Around the World
It describes beauty defined by various cultures around the world. The very title itself is called: "How Beauty Is Defined Around the World" the very definition of the title implies how beauty in accordance to individual cultures, is defined around the world. This is very different than the position I presupposed as a "global standard" that is, from a collective point of view what is considered the global standard. This is a staunch difference than what your link suggests.

Is like your first link it is looking at individual cultures and their (the individual cutture's) idea of beauty respective of their culture. You have not presented me anything that contradicts the articles I've displayed regarding the Eurocentric standard of beauty. Again, you're lack of contradicting my claims is evident.
You said: "If you stated facts then they would be applicable to me. But they are not, and this is a fact." I know you're not this dense...let me help you out by rephrasing my comment.
When I talk about a global standard of beauty I am talking about the collective idea cross culturally that European features is a standard of beauty cross culturally. I mean I gave you an article from an Ivy league source and you still rejected it?
The following is a research article:
"Perhaps the most insidious effect of white supremacy racism has been its impact on how people of color view their physical appearance. Throughout the world the globalization of Eurocentric standards of beauty has resulted in the development of industries that support it, the marketing of images that reify it, the structuring of policies that reward it, and the enactment of interpersonal and personal behavioral routines that emulate it. In India, one of the most recent and disturbing manifestations of the obsession with European standards of beauty can be observed in the development and marketing of a product called ‘Clean and Dry’ which is designed to lighten dark vaginas (Pal, 2012). Throughout the Caribbean, Africa, and in the United States the devastating effects of skin bleaching can be seen in the faces of women whose skin though lighter, exhibits thinning and who are requiring dermatological treatment to deal with the destructive health effects of skin bleaching (Catherine Saint Louis, n.d.)."
