18mr:I think it’s great that Julie Chen decided to be upfront about her eyelid surgery, and for calling it what it is: racism.Read about her revelation on The Talk.Eighteen years ago, Julie Chen’s news director told her: “You will never be on this anchor desk, because you’re Chinese. Let’s face it Julie, how relatable are you to our community? How big of an Asian community do we really have in Dayton? … On top of that because of your heritage, because of your Asian eyes, I’ve noticed that when you’re on camera, when you’re interviewing someone you look disinterested and bored because your eyes are so heavy, they are so small.”Her prospective agent told her: “I cannot represent you unless you get plastic surgery to make your eyes look bigger.”During her TV appearance on Wednesday morning, host Sheryl Underwood said: “You made a choice that was good for you and you have represented your race, women and your colleagues.”Sharon Osbourne added: “It was the right thing to do.”Any least the hosts on The Talk are perfectly up front about their racist views on what Chinese people need to do to make it on TV, which is to get plastic surgery to more closely meet Eurocentric standards. -- source link
