The spice of life

In my opinion is diversity. If everyone looked the same and had the same tastes, the world would be so boring and monotonous.
I don't need to carry out any kind of research or statistical tests to realize that most big boob arts depict caucasian looking women.  Yeah yeah, you may say 'But look at Isane Kotetsu, Orihime Inoue or Matsumoto Rangiku, They have japanese names so they must be japanese'. But you will have to be blind to overlook the fact that no ethnical japanese at all. They have multicolor hair and eyes, and no epicanthal folds. Same applies to most female characters in shonen manga.

I don't think caucasian girls are prettier than the others, as the kind of women every individual prefer is based on cultural and subjective appreciations. I think that 'in general' caucasian women are considered prettier because they are part of the ethnic groups that are more dominant, not in terms of sheer numbers, but economically, militaristically and politically. So as caucasian are seen as more dominant worldwide, they are considered powerful and so with desirable traits.

According to wikipedia: It has been observed that adult human Females are consistently lighter in skin pigmentation than males in the same population. This form of sexual dimorphism may be due to the requirement in human females for high amounts of calcium during pregnancy and lactation. Breastfeeding newborns, whose skeletons are growing, require high amounts of calcium intake from the mother’s milk (about 4 times more than during prenatal development), part of which comes from reserves in the mother's skeleton. Adequate vitamin D resources are needed to absorb calcium from the diet, and it has been shown that deficiencies of vitamin D and calcium increase the likelihood of various birth defects such as spina bifida and rickets. Natural selection has then, led to females with lighter skin than males in all indigenous populations because women must get enough vitamin D and calcium to support the development of fetus and nursing infant and to maintain their own health.

According to classical scholar Frank Snowden, skin color did not determine social status in ancient Egypt, Greece or Rome. Relations between the major power and the subordinate state was viewed as more significant in a person's status than was their skin color. 

But the preferred skin tone varies by culture and has varied over time. While on one hand we have a number of indigenous African groups, such as the Maasai, that associate pale skin with being cursed or caused by evil spirits associated with witchcraft (They would abandon their children born with conditions such as albinism and show a sexual preference for darker skin.), on the other we have the pre Industrial Eurasians, for whom pale skin was preferred and was a sign of high social status. The poorer classes worked outdoors and got darker skin from exposure to the sun, while the upper class stayed indoors and had light skin. Light skin became associated with wealth and high position.

Colonization and slavery by European countries inspired colorism and racism led by the belief that people with dark skin were uncivilized, inferior, and should be subordinate to the lighter skinned invaders. As African American journalist Jill Nelson wrote "To be both prettiest and black was impossible". 

A preference for fair or lighter skin continues in many countries, and it is specially prevalent in Latin American and South and SouthEast Asian countries where whites are a minority. Significant exceptions to a preference for lighter skin started to appear in Western culture mid-20th century (and we all Know Western culture is the ost dominant culture of the world). Though sun-tanned skin was once associated with the sun-exposed manual labor of the lower-class, the associations became dramatically reversed during this time — a change usually credited to the trendsetting French woman Coco Chanel making tanned skin seem fashionable, healthy, and luxurious. Still, western mass media (even in countries where people with boreal caucasian features are a minority) and popular culture continued to reinforce negative stereotypes about dark skin.

In my case I don't mind about skin color, ethnic group, political or religious affilitaion. Petty details that count for nothing. Hell, I don't mind even about what really matters: boob size and shape, although I admit I have a strong bias for anything 'big round breasts' related.

On a side note I feel I messed up with the body proportions of this character...but i liked the face so much I didn't want to erase it and make another one that wouldn't have looked as nice. Imagine she is pretty tall. After all the tallest human beings on average are Central African. I tried to draw all the braids, but it was a waste of time: much effort, ltttle benefit,

Danke 4 all da faves.
