The Fox Eye Trend Is Racist, with Marianne Mychaskiw

Hi everyone. I hope you're keeping safe, healthy, and hanging in there. Sending love your way and my thoughts are with you.-----I thought this "trend" was going to die down soon but we are still seeing recent posts about people doing The Fox Eye Trend on their social media. What is the Fox Eye Trend? Why is it racist? Marianne Mychaskiw discusses why The Fox Eye Trend is trash. Even after receiving negative attention from Asians, this trend is still circulating in social media. As Asians, specifically Pacific Islanders, it just triggered plenty of memories of bullies pulling their eyelids at us. Marianne is a beauty editor, freelance journalist, and brand copywriter for both digital and print where she covers topics about beauty, wellness, entertainment, lifestyle, and sex.In this episode, we define the difference between appropriation vs. appreciation, why Asian features are not a trend, and what solutions we can arrive at to help raise awareness about these racial issues. Our goal is to always come from a place of love and we strive to do our best to stay informed, do our research, keep learning, and continue the discussion.  FOLLOW MARIANNE MYCHASKIWMarianne's InstagramFOLLOW HELLO BEAUTYHello Beauty's InstagramHello Beauty's FacebookHello Beauty's YouTubeFOLLOW JOYCE PLATONJoyce Platon's Instagram
