RE :”Summed up...she complains about racism but benefits from lookism”

There is a huge class action (women) discrimination lawsuit against Walmarts in front of the SCOTUS today. That libertarian judge on FNC was saying that all plaintiffs have to prove in discrimination cases is desperate impact(meaning a policy ended up with relatively negative results to a protected class), not intent of discrimation . But you have to be a protected class. This is the exact opposite of a hate crime, which punishes you for intent,

The Asian subcontinent.

They are Asian.

Laz - I absolutely have to ping you to this thread and post 4 in particular...

Yet Indians have the same hair-type as Europeans. The north and western Indians on the Indian continent are part of the same Aryan group of Caucasians, the southern Indians are a different sub-group of Caucasians: Dravidians.

By her surname I could guess (guess -- not sure) that she is a Dravidian Caucasian

Ham (dark skinned), Shem (light skinned) or Japeth (in between).

That can't be correct as Aryans (Indo-Europeans) are to have been descendend from Japheth, yet Aryanic folks are the lightest skinned (or technically in the case of nordics and western slavs are no color skin)

Professional sports discriminate. There are not many 5’7” guys in the NBA, or many with slow reflexes in any sport.

They are Asian by geography. Though the fact is that by geography there is no separation of Asia from Europe, but one continent Eurasia.

If we take the urals as a separating point then technically India is also a continent

Linguistically the majority of people in the Indian sub-continent (95%+) are Indo-European speaks (70% Aryan, 25% Dravidian).

Racially the lines are similar with 70% being Aryanic and 25% being Dravidian -- another line of Caucasians

They have no racial or linguistic relationship with East Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc) but have ties with Semites and South-East Asians and a lot of ties with Europe right from the times of Alexander the Great.

[RockinRight]

Asian as in From Asia, not as in “Oriental” as a Japanese or Korean, etc.

[Lizavetta]

Though she complains of race discrimination in the present case, it is only because of similar kinds of discrimination, equally capricious, that she is special — that she can be a model, and other women cannot.

Bingo.
