My dad used to work for J.R.D. Tata, back in the early days when the man himself was a regular fixture in the office (early 60's?).

the worst thing is taking photoshop tutorials
high profile (for adobe) PS instructors giving video tutorials
i kind live off the grid of fashion and the like, and all my friends are actual size and real races

so though i expected there to be a bit of digi airbrushing it was way worse than i had imagined
one tutorial was showing how to make a model look better and essentially took a gorgeous 'exotic' looking woman and arianized her features to make her look "better" ie: slimmed the nose, narrowed the eyes, made the lips smaller, ears smaller, changed he face shape a bit until she went from a normal (really beautiful-seriously) pale possibly indian woman to a slightly over-tanned white woman. and everyone just thought that was great in the video. it was creeeepy. with PS its not just beauty or body standards, but the racial bias of the designers and possibly the clients effecting society. it was a hard thing to watch as a tutorial but more weird was the overall pleasantries and happy comments at the end of how great the altered one was in the side-by-side. how could they not notice they were all gushing over a guy "whitening" a woman up? it was like bizarro world.

Allure magazine is the worst. Every woman (celebrities usually) on the cover has the exact same golden/yellowish complexion regardless of her race or ethnic origin. Evidently they just run everyone through the same Allure Cover color profile, lol.

I agree.

(Actually, they're responsible for a lot of other crap too, so WTH...)
