Sable Young recalls times when people would say to her comments like, "You really lucked out with your mix," after learning that she was half-Korean and half-Chinese. Her double eyelid and high nose bridge made her beauty favorable among others, especially among Asians. "Having other Asian-Americans praising features that might imply I’m partially of European descent left me with a warped sense of what beauty really meant or could be," she writes. "Stereotypical signifiers of ethnic beauty and sexuality ... can be conveniently complimented with language that puts certain features on a pedestal while ignoring or even praising the lack of 'less favorable' ethnic features (dark skin, broad noses, slanty eyes), the ones that veer further from white on the racial spectrum."
