@MHKruyt Hey! Did you watch SBS "Change my Race"? It was about toxic beauty ideals of Whiteness & impact on Asian women & women of colour.

@OtherSociology http://bit.ly/IpKysu Wow, just read an article about it. Eeish is all I can say. I must see if I can stream it.
@MHKruyt You're in Oz, yeah? You can stream it here: http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/65950787742/Change-My-Race … I found it really sad & infuriating but it was done really well

@OtherSociology Sorry no, am not in Oz! Am half a world away, in NL! (: What made you think I was? -
@MHKruyt Ahh ok. Are you able to view the link? I suspect it's geo-blocked. I wasn't sure where you are based. I just guessed maybe here. -
@OtherSociology It's geo-blocked :( I can only read articles about the documentary. -
@MHKruyt Boo! That stinks. Hopefully they release it more widely. They discussed skin lightening creams & what it means to be "attractive." -
@OtherSociology Where do these 'white' women come from? http://bit.ly/1ccpbSV -
@MHKruyt Thanks this was excellent. Whitenicious! "Why should dark-skinned Africans have to struggle for representation in African media?"
