Why does anyone find this surprising? The ‘ugly’ little girl should consider herself lucky, considering China’s one child policy made it a real possibility that she could have been aborted for the poor luck of having been a female. I don’t recall the exact ratio of men to women, but I know there is a big shortage of females in China for exactly that reason. And some find it shocking they would discriminate for looks, too?
Excellent point. And a very sad and disturbing one.
