I have to agree. When my siblings & I were growing up, most images of 'Beauty' were of white people (TV, magazines, toys, etc). Barbie was blond and pretty... Ken? Hot as hell (too bad he was lacking in the package department...you know you looked too ).
My sister is married to a white guy, and looking back, I think all of us have only dated white. My parents are okay with it, but I think they'd be extremely happy if at least one of us brought home a Filipino boy for a change.
