Revisiting Brapanese Mania

A closer look on the preference on beauty

As we continue to celebrate the hotness of Brapanese models mania, on which we explore more on models. Brapanese is a word that was born in an attempt to coin a term for the phenomenon of loving Brazilian - Japanese models, which started in Thailand, of which the Philippines responded thereafter. It is a combination of the the term  Brazilian and Japanese. For the previous entry on Brapanese, click on here.

In a country called Philippines, almost all of the
celebrities are a mixture of races. People may assert that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But if we look at the faces on billboards, TV and movies, you will see one thing in common, they all are mixed races of Caucasian + Asian. It is like there is implied unwritten rule for media, Caucasian + Asian = success in the silver screen. This may explain the phenomenon of Brazilian Japanese mania.

To understand media viewer's response on this, we may look at the history of media. For more than half a century, our eyes have been bombarded by the Western cinema, dictating the definition of beauty and culture. Thus, unconsciously, the definition of beauty may have been skewed to give preference on the western image. But then again i have nothing against this, this is just again me.
