Influencers have been posting images modeling 'fox eyes' -- a look popularized by celebrities. But critics say the trend is racially insensitive, and an act of cultural appropriation.

for student-run newspaper Stanford Daily in July, is that the gesture has"racially-charged historical weight," referring to past satirical depictions of Asians in Western media -- caricatures poking fun at facial features to portray them as"barbaric,""subhuman" and inferior.

She points to Hollywood's uncomfortable past in the appropriating the shape of Asian eyes. In the early 1930s, makeup artist Cecil Holland used techniques -- some, similar to creating fox eyes today -- to transform White actors into villainous Asian characters, like Fu Manchu.

"It really feels like this is a temporary trend," Hu said, adding that she believes Asians' eye shapes aren't just something to be casually adopted and then"given back" when the trend is over.Pressure to assimilate

OK then black people shouldn't straighter hair.

Influencer...who are these people?

How many foxes complained?

You guys are just pathetic!

This is bull. Was Cleopayra being racially insensitive when she did it. We did it in the 60s. This is ridiculous. Don’t you have something better to do with your time? foxeyes eyemakeup racisteyes

CHLM! Cannon Hinnant Life Mattered

By the way it's not called fox eye it's called cat eye!!

“Critics” 😂😂😂

“When my time on earth is done and my activities here are past I want they to bury me upside down so my critics can kiss my ass” - Bob Knight

heck I thought it was an Egyptian thing

I love only one eyes.and that is SmOkY EyEz.

Stop! Just stop!

Only influencers and propaganda I see is CNN trying to tell people how they racist they are by spewing that Fox Eye/ Cat eye is racist.

Celebrities are insensitive appropriators. That what they do.

I'm sorry... that's ridiculous. But then being an 'influencer' is ridiculous. They are sales people, and that is fine but be honest about it.

Why is EVERYTHING racist

You can’t create equality if everything done is divisive in the name of race

Sensitive ass....

But old white democrats wearing African themed scarves is perfectly acceptable. How incredibly miserable must your life be to find offense in everything?

Ex-FBI lawyer, accused of falsifying document in probe (SPYING) of Trump’s campaign, to plead guilty

If this is racist so is Olive Garden trying to imitate Italians. Please stop the insanity!

racist

I wasn't thinking about race until the 'politically correct' racists told me to.

Foxes pissed?

Thoughts rqui sternshow BethStern HowardStern ?

They all look like bad face lifts it is not appealing at all.

Who gives a shit

When I eat at an Italian restaurant, is that cultural appropriation?

The cat eye look has been around for decades. Stop making something out of nothing.

Japanese are obsessed with Western eyes and try surgery to make them round.

What women will do for $

Liberals do shit like this and then act surprised when they lose elections... Maybe this suffering is a fair punishment

Who gives a shit...

Slow news day?

Critics lol. You mean you. Let people enjoy their life without being shamed for everything. A boy can dress as a girl and that’s ok but if someone does their eyes like a different person than them they are racist or insensitive etc? Liberals are destroying America

It must be exhausting to try to find something every day to get offended about.

This highlighting tend is not new at all. Are critics seriously going to try and stop people from doing something they think is attractive? Isn't that a compliment?

Lmfao, why is CNN reporting on 'Fox eyes?' Is this news. Who the hell are the critics? 'Racially insensitive' you say. God I hate CNN. Here's a story for you. pizza gate. Do that one next. Expose Hollywood.

'Fox Eyes' includes altering the eyebrow. None of the girls pictured are even doing the style 🤣 and IF they were who are they culturally appropriating? Which race are they being insensitive toward? Vulcans?

Trump could carry every state!

People with poor eyesight sometimes pull onthe corner of their eye when they are not wearing lenses or glasses because it lets you focus your eye better & see better. Should we stop doing that too?

Apparently everything is racist to the worthless left. Cultural appropriation is a stupid made up term.

“The most trusted name in news”

They wouldd say that because they are just a bunch of bigots ! The people in this country have developed a holier than thou attitude since the beginning of the virus! We’ve become a nation of self- centered individuals that feel that the rest of the world should be eliminated!

Kinda bullshit news is this 🙄

What's not racially sensitive? Y'all to sensitive!

Why is it even racist? 😹😹😹

Is it racist or cultural appropriation when Asians use tape to give them eyelid folds? To give them 'caucasian eyes'? lol

This cnn rag is stupid

In America everything has to do with racism it crazy

They’re stealing our election can you fuckers FOCUS Call Congress (202) 224-3121

We have more important problems that us humans on this shared planet must face and conquer. If the 'change' that everyone is seeking is going to turn into everyone being a crybaby bitch, like this article/ then we're doomed. If people not of your culture embrace it in a..

Aren't 'fox eyes' basically the aftermath of a too enthusiastic facelift? Maybe that's what's trending.

It’s all over. The world is just inventing stuff to bitch about. We deserve everything that is coming. So many feelings. So many offended parties, bitching about nothing, all the time. Whole world of children, refusing to grow up. Shameful. Just stop.

This is the stupidest waste of a tweet I have seen in a long time🙄🙄 absurd! Where does the line get drawn? It’s hardly like they’re making fun of them if anything they’re aspiring to have them, give me a break!

I will be doing my makeup like this today.

What is not racist these days

How many woke wannabe writers can CNN possibly have?

This is ridiculous! It’s just make up ! Get the fck over it !

Have I been culturally appropriating cat’s eyes all these years? Sorry cats!

CNN has no important news to report

I don't care. You have no control over us or what we do.

Cleopatra is turning in her grave

so what do influencers want to ?

You people are sick

I’m offended when poc have BLONDE hair

Tell those “critics “ to find something important to do. Sitting around looking for ways to be offended is a pathetic existence.

Wtf is this bullshit ? Why Do people have to ruin everything and involve themselves for no reason ?

Oh, I thought they all had a headache!

Fuck the critics.

I think it’s great that they’re doing the fox eyes thing. Nothing wrong with it. F the critics. They know nothing.

WGAF

2020 is the stupidest.

Don't Asians make their eyes European?

Egyptians started this thousands of years ago.

Not a single Asian woman I’ve asked finds this offensive. Most think its flattering.

It's called 'Arab eyes'. And don't try to appropriate it from us unless you're Caucasian.

Isnt it funny how it's always the people screaming the loudest about racism, who end up being outed as the most racist themselves?

Nonsense

Nah critics are just full of sh**

FacsinNation Who the heck cares? Is this what passes as 'journalism' down South? Whole crock of nada. Or as your POTUS would say 'fake news'...

How brilliant is it that this is an actual news story

Don't get it!

Whatever

It is not just ASIANS, a number of Native American tribes women have similar eye shapes. Many women look like this yet nothing is said. again Asians over Natives.

Cultural appreciation.

You are sick

It's called Stupid and Shallow

“Influencers”... ffs. Too fucking dumb and lazy to get a real job more like...!

For Christ’s sake! Get a life!

Dear CNN, even if you try to create division on ethnicities with stupid content like this to generate empathy on Kamala Harris, is not going to work, you don't have any impact on people with common sense

ORRIBILI QUESTE DONNE DETURPATE DA BOTULO, PLASTICA e altre schifezze da incompetenti chirurgi teste di minchia

It’s called winged liner wtf us fox eye?!? This is seriously nothing new in the makeup world. Maybe these chicks just figured it out how to properly apply liner and make it a new trend 🤷🏽‍♀️ when in fact all they’re doing is polishing some old rims. Anyways, where’s the news?

This ⬇️.

Quit with the identity politics. Americans are sick of it

I don’t mind it at all. These women look beautiful.

Hey, , TheBabylonBee condensed your article for you! 😉

The eye makeup is not the issue. It’s the taping up of the eyes and posting photos holding your eyes in a slant. That’s the racist part about this trend.

Who are these critics?

The world is full of a bunch of sissies honestly

LOL! Idiots.

The idea of fox eyes to basically make your eyes more lifted and sexy which is more 'trendy' now but it has been done for years by make up artists. I don't think this is done to imitate a certain racial group. While tugging on your eyes does promote racial insensitivity (pt.1)

whatever happened to my body my choice?

Could've sworn I've seen Egyptian ladies doing this 4,000 years ago.

You mean critics at the CNN headquarters? Literally nobody is saying this.

Twittwr algorithm favors liberals so I have to act like one unfortunately. Trump is bad, blah blah blah. Biden2020 blah blah blah. I love CNN blah blah blah. VOTE FOR BIDEN!!! blah blah. TrumpVirus I guess Blah blah blah.

Did a fox write this?

It’s a hate crime! Jail them!

Are we looking for things to be offended by?

Whatever!

Cultural Segregationists are racist assholes.

It’s fun to watch your sheep

Who cares? Who really cares?

Oh dear god?!They are going after beauty trends now?J.C?what next?is there no end to this insanity?!?!

Honest question: It is now safe to assume that as long as white people imitate any minority (even out of admiration), it is racist and is cultural appropriation?

Appropriation is as American as apple pie. The thing that makes appropriation so Insidious & Reprehensible is that it most often masquerades as ORIGINALITY. There's nothing original about stealing something that already exists. Pay original Creators ROYALTIES. sundayvibes BLM

You ppl are So Screwed as an information 'Outlet.'

So saying some ppl are beautiful and wanting to imitate that is now racist

And the Asians are doing the opposite! What a pathetic world we live in!

And CNN has jumped the shark.

Everything is bloody racist, aye? Only Italians should eat pasta, Germans can only drive Volkswagen, Japanese can eat sushi. Race baitors are racist, and those that are offended for a particular race that they aren't even a member of, are the racist.

I think they look FOXY

DineshDSouza FoxNews Remember the passionate heart felt story of the little girl who was bussed to school by Segregationist and Racist Biden IT WAS FAKE 💔

So Asian plastic eye surgery is racially insensitive too. They cut their eyes to look like Europeans 😂😂😂😂

People have been drawing their makeup like the that since the 80’s!! Nobody gets to claim that BS is racially tied to anything.

Always thinking up crap to keep their empty brains occupied.

'But critics say' is how CNN makes a claim but makes it look like its other people making the claim.

Everything we do is RACISM. Find something new CNN

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL GUYS 🤣🙏🙏🙏

Of course it’s racist. But most importantly it’s very disrespectful to the Fox 🦊 community.

Is this different from cat eyes?

Huh?

CNN specialists in race

So if someone dyes her hair blonde does that mean that she is stealing from Scandinavians?🤣🤣🤣

Bigger fish to fry CNN stay on topic! Nobody will give a shit about influencers the United States is destroyed!

Fox eyes? In my day it was called 'winged eyeliner'. This is just silly 🙄

Immitation no longer being the highest form of flattery? So what if an Asian businessman wears a suit and tie?

Good grief

You people exhaust me with this racism nonsense, but please keep it up. It’s how you got Trump and why he stays.

グリコ森永事件ですか?狐目の男ですか?

That’s not beautiful. Looks like somebody went under the knife one time too many.

Is this a joke?

I’m pissed I spent a fortune on lipstick nobody sees behind my mask. Now that’s a story for you, lipstick oppression.

I think getting a tan is racist too.

Welcome to CNN... they take an issue that isn’t really an issue and pretend it’s an issue. 🙄

😂😂😂😂 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Dumb on purpose for clicks.

They think its beautiful so...shouldnt it be racial ADMIRATION?

Bullshit

It’s called getting to know other cultures, learning and enjoying their diversity not “cultural appropriation” you pin heads... I can’t even! Spare me these fools!

Really? I thought the trend was inspired by Ancient Egyptians

So does that mean all non whites cant color their hair blonde?

Isn't this along the lines of using makeup to have fuller lips? I haven't seen anyone up in arms over that. I understand the point of what cultural appropriation means, but some of the make up just looks like a thicker version of a cat eye liner.

That's ridiculous! Who cares!

When u run out of actual news 🥸

Dear not a fucking news story. Of it isn’t at the minimum about the USPS it’s not a news story.

Fox is a race?

Oh, the critics can go eff themselves. 'Cultural appropriation' my ass. From who, CLEOPATRA? STFU...it's make-up. Shit like this is why people are sick of this crap.

give me a break

Anyone that thinks like that needs to see their way out of America. LAND OF THE FREE!!! FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION!!! TAKE YOUR WHINEY BS SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

Ugh i just like the way it makes my liner look when I do this !

Give me a break already with this fuckin stuff! Everything is fuckin racial and offensive to blacks now! Including the ice cream truck music! Did you hear about that

When does the Cannon Hinnant funeral with golden casket & every major network covering begin?

You’re telling me that a piece of rope hanging in Bubba Wallace’s NASCAR garage was more worthy of national coverage for WEEKS than 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant being executed in cold blood in front of his sisters?

I feel that way about people eating baguettes. Unless you are French it is a horrible appropriation act to buy and eat them. Same goes for brie and berets.

I think this goes both ways right.... women and men can wear makeup however they want.....we have bigger problems..like an orange President wearing Orange Makeup...

I have naturally slanted eyes and I’m not Asian but growing up I was called all kinds of names. Even family members would tell me to greet them saying, “Honorable Uncle.” I didn’t get it then but now I can’t imagine what they went through. Let’s be sensitive to their voices.

How about the media

How about music and movies. Let’s just get rid of words. Some people are so ridiculous.

The critics are making up fake outrage just to have something to say

White people! Stop buying tanning products now! To want golden brown skin is blatantly racist and cultural appropriation!

Hahahahahaha. You will eventually eat your own.

Jesus christ people lighten the fuck up.

If you’re being “influenced” by anybody on Instagram you need to re-evaluate your life choices.

Keep painting your beautiful eyes ladies! Don’t listen to these leftwing nut jobs.

How is it insensitive? I find it a compliment and an appreciation of culture and costumes. Get over yourself.

given all that is happening around the world is this newsworthy, really makeup? Diverging people's attention, low for CNN

'OK since the 'Ahegao face is racist' didnt catch on , we have to find something else to say is racist. We can't have people focusing on real issues, so we are going with makeup is racist this month.'

What a bunch of idiots sitting around coming up with divisive crap like this just for clicks.

We sure are going overboard aren't we.

Until people stop dying their hair red, I insist I am being appropriated for my roots. 👩‍🦰 Back off ye traitors and substitutes.

cnn = COUNTERFEIT NEWS NETWORK... Dividing people one stupid opinion at a time!!!

Second time I see this stupid tweet from CNN that loves to stir the pot of racism and cultural appropriation. I’m Latin. If someone is inspired by Latin cultures, fashion, decor, makeup, cooking etc, it’s a compliment! You know if someone is doing it bc they have bad intentions.

So ridiculous.

FFS

For CNN everything is racist. Even if u poop and it comes out black CNN will say that’s racist. Stop it CNN !! You just inflaming situations more

i mean... its literally a racist schoolyard move made fashionable

omg people need to get a life

Hi..i am Asian. No problem at all...that eye shape en thus mine..is just as beautiful as yours.

Is there going to be an article about black women straightening their hair and culturally appropriating white women's hair?

The left literally fucking ruins anything. Thieves of joy.

Stupid...people complain about everything

Critics need to get a job!

This is why Donald Trump will be re-elected. The intersectional left is insane.

CNN don’t know what is real news anymore. Freaking educate your journalists all of them. The manager or supervisor who is telling these journalists to broadcast shits stories every day should be ashamed. Just remember money is not everything

Oh for fucks sake

If you had a bad nights sleep and have puffy eyes you won’t be allowed to leave the house until it improves.

Beauty/makeup is an art form; you really think attempting to emulate foxes is racist/cultural appropriation? Such nonsense!

How about you do you.. stop telling me what to do.

Every chick on that post look dumb af

But If they are doing their makeup in a way they think is making them look beautiful how could that be culturally insensitive rather than flattering? Emulating beauty is racist too?

Culture appropriation? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪

Like 2020 needed this bullshit yall!

Ching Chong eyes look fabulous, very beautiful

Critics say dumb shit

Yeah I saw a protest the other day where a large group of foxes gathered together and were extremely upset with these “influencers”.

What next 😂

Instead of rerunning the same stories how bout covering some news?

Call them influencers they seem important, call them idiots no one cares what they'll do! It's up to the messenger....!

THIS is the kind of crap tweets about instead of 'reporting' about the MURDER of a white 5 year old little boy ConnorHinnant by a 28 year old Black man! SHAME ON YOU!

According to morons at everything is racist. Which means nothing is! GOP TheDemocrats TheTeaPartyNet

Lol the liberals are pathetic w

How about this? It's just makeup! That's all that it is. If we are going to start this cultural appropriation crap, there are a lot of people who 'culturally appropriate' Western culture. So there are no double standards here and the people that believe this article are SHEEP!

Can you pls name the “critics”...dare say you don’t even know who they are, cause they’re FAKE.

Utter BS - well done for reporting it! Slow day in the newsroom boys (ooops sorry misogyny rules).

Here come the PC crybabies.

You could argue that wearing blue jeans is also cultural appropriation. Originally created in the USA the entire world has adopted it so if I want to put some eyeliner on I will. Also Asian women have surgery to get the western eyelid - is that cultural appropriation?

In other words “3 losers complained and that’s who this article is for”

They tend to look like attempting mind-reading..... just sayin’

Everyone needs to be victimized, and have a cause.

When they put their hands on their face pretending to pull it back - that's extremely racist

Its all bullshit! Anything and everything is now offensive, that's the point of shit journalism. Good job fake news! GreatAwakening

Yeah sure it is, whatever.

If anything it would be cultural embracing not appropriation. But is just women trying to be sexy. It’s called “fox eyes” not “asian eyes”.

Influencers my ass.

People are searching way too hard for something to be offended by. We’re raising crybabies.

I despise 'influencers' as much as anyone. That said, it seems that everything is racist these days. A Eurocentric beauty standard would be considered racist. If this is racism, then racism is not a problem.

This is newsworthy? CNN is a joke, worse than a gossip session between a group of preteen school girls.

What a load of Political wokeness bullshit!!!!😂🤣😂🤣 A 'cat eye' has been around sincr before Cleopatra & Tutankamin!!!! Who makes this claptrap up, go do some PROPER journalism,this is embarassing!!

Here we go the thought police are out again, a white person must have done something aside from breathe quietly somewhere. Identity politics is for pigs.

Give me fricken break ok. It's makeup. We all can wear our products in what ever way one wants to feel good about themselves. It goes back to beginning of time. Grow up...

SERIOUSLY?! This is the type of shit news you have to provide?!? Can you leave this type of 'news' to Cosmopolitan, Entertainment Weekly, or People!!!!

asians don't even have fox lmao, their eyes are too horizontally narrow to emulate this look. Fox eyes are the result of vertically narrow, horizontally wide eyes with a downturned medial canthus

BREAKING NEWS...MAKEUP IS RACIST...HERES WHY ...god you guys are lame

Why is it offensive when women obviously find the look beautiful or they wouldn't want to try it? Stop cooking Italian food if you're not Italian that's offending my family. Get over yourselves. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Fuck.

PC is out of control. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. Oscar Wilde

If you don't like what someone you follow is doing ..how about unfollowing them?

All out devision.Its makeup,woman just like to wear makeup,thanks to Hollywood and certain reality to stars here we are. It amazes me,certain Hollywood stars can dye their hair and nothing then someone else does it and its cultural appropriation. Who's making these rules.

Some people are eating pork,I think that's insensitive,that's racial discrimination .hahaha

CNN has become a cess pit of this disgusting ideological stuff.

Whining snowflakes doing what whining snowflakes do...whine. Time to ignore these fit-pitching toddlers and their perpetual states of affront and offence. It is themselves they truly hate. Let them AnHero.

🙄🙄🙄

Not this again. Have you no news to report. Why not do some proper journalism instead of trying to divide the population.

You guys are tired

Everything is cultural appropriation

We need MORE culture appropriation, not less. America is suppose to be a 'melting pot'. Grow some dreads, surf, eat a taco and STFU!

Trump is taking away our right to VOTE BY MAIL!

Now do hair dye, colored contacts and fake hair wigs/extensions

Tell the 'critics' I said (a)they're all fools, (b) there is no such thing as cultural appropriation and (c) only idiots agree with them.

ᴿᵃᵖᵗᵘʳᵉ

Hahahaha. CNN is retreaded. Completely for morons.

QUESTE DONNE SONO DEI MOSTRI CON TUTTO QUESTO BOTULINO; PLASTICHE RIFACIMENTI deturpanti

Egyptians wore what I would call cat eyes way before anyone wore fox eyes I think we will survive lol

🤣🤣🤣

Everything in America is 'racial'. What is wrong with you people sef?

the Left is MAD

This is just getting stupider and stupider!

Koreans have been trying to culturally appropriate European women’s eyes for decades. Check out the K-Pop.

TitaniaMcGrath

Someone is jealous

white girls trying to make themselves look asian?

1980: 'I bet there will be flying cars in 40 years.' 2020: 'Everything is racist.'

I live in Asia. When I explained to my Chinese students they were supposed to be offended they were like ?! One actually said Americans are crazy.

GTFO with this

Women not helping the fight for equality much smh

This is a joke right?

I’m offended.

Article makes no sense, it says women are appropriating Asian eyes and then proceeds to name the women they are trying to emulate, none of whom are Asian. It's makeup, must we make a thing of everything?

Even Melania Trump is doing this but looks like her face and eyes are stretched way too tight from a face lift?

With all the crap going on in this country.... this is newsworthy?

Why don't you deploy a journalist to Portland for real news. Geez.

Here I am worrying about my bills. Silly me.

I wing my eyeliner on occasion, but I don't look Asian.

“Critics” 🥱

This made my brain hurt

Farting sounds...

Get a grip it’s makeup

Ah, the ol' 'critics say' trick. Do you never tire of it? It must work, because you keep doing it.

I totally agree and as a Scandinavian I want the wearing of blonde wigs to stop immediately

'Critics say' Who gives a shit

Racially insensitive? Paint them eyes ladies! Who cares about this made up 💩!

Wtf? Seriouslu CNN...you are the only thing racist in this entire ridiculous story!!

Who exactly says that? One person? Is there anything anymore that isn't racist? It's freaking make up!

This is makeup. Just makeup. Women have been wearing makeup since there was makeup. Let it just be...makeup.

I weep for our society.

Just call it “chinky eyes” cuz that what it is.

Actually it’s not cultural appropriation. We can all move about our business now.

Fox the critics

Can’t wait till this damn virus goes away so people can act normal! 🙄

Again still not talking more about this case that happen on Sunday it’s sickens me that you guys Would do this to a boy that got shot right in the head a five-year-old but hey he’s got white privilege he doesn’t mean anything to CNN that was a black boy different story!!!!!!!!!!

🤔

Wow, any hint of cultural appropriation is shunned but we are ok with men calling themselves women?

When everything is racist, nothing is racist.

This is silly. If anything, doesn't it mean they're actually celebrating the look? Anyway, again, I think it's silly.

Stupid argument, delete this.

I will do my makeup as i see fit. Making my eyes look bigger isn't racially insensitive....it's making them look bigger because I want them to.

Oh please. Imitation is the best form of flattery. Take it as a compliment. Peace out

So if you find something beautiful and want to use it that is not racially insensitive or appropriation. That is a sign of respect and awe because you want to mimic it. Racial appropriation would be claiming to are another race to get a job, or scholarship for example.

I have to start doing my eyeliner that way

Is everything racist with cnn ? Time to skip CNN and dump it in the crapper whee it belongs. Oh wait. It’s already there. Move on

Is it called Fox Eyes because of Megan Fox?

i was called peroxide for having light hair and big thick furry eyebrows in the 90s..tweezed them alll off in embarassment. now look at today’s trends.. and i dont care. at all point is: beauty is evolving. allow people to appreciate more & imitate. nothing belongs to anyone.

It should be acceptable as long as you don't interfere with other people's behavior

I guess even an act of sneezing will be considered culturally inappropriate. These are the drawbacks of globalization

Guys, it’s make up, the so the same thing with black features😳

Tanning is racially insensitive cultural appropriation. So is dying your hair. Or straightening it. So is shaving. Wait... modifying your appearance is cultural appropriation. Only the first wandering tribe that figured out about combing their hair is entitled to do so? Right?

This is why Trump wins in 2020... everything and everyone is a racist. walkaway

Why is this news?

I wish the word Influencers would die

🤦🏻‍♀️

The 'critics' are idiots.

Are foxes complaining?

Who are these idiots? Does everything now have a bad content about it. Shut the hell up! Stop making trouble! No one wants to hear the bs anymore!

They look like the ugly pig contest participants.

Say wut? 🦊 Y'all are insane 🤡 😀🤣

S.T.F.U with this crap. Please.

LET THE GREAT RACE BAITING CONTINUE

Sick of cultural appropriation. Every group takes from another group. Fashion recycles.

Everything is racist!

To who Egyptians....

Jesus.... just stop

What critics?

Lol

Cnn is a seditious ideological propaganda site. That said, dig this..

it suggests foxiness, sexiness, that’s all. geesss people ! you and your racist shit.

🙇‍♀️

America is The Great Melting Pot and we're literally supposed to accept and adopt cultural practices from around the world, as long as they don't infringe upon anyone's individual liberties.

Culturally appropriating who? Ancient Egyptians, who no longer exist?

Y'all are smoking crack, right? Put down the pipe.

criticsaresaying

Oh well

You guys really don't know WTF else to make up.

This stupid everybody knows white people can't wear beautiful makeup like that we wish. So that is the most stupid ignorant whom and the hang make up these comments the press whom? Who

You folks are a parody

Cancel culture canceling 60’s movies with heavily made up women?

Of course everything now a days is either racist or cultural appropriation. You all have swung the pendulum so far it is bound to swing back as far the other way and make all this foolishness go away

Stop racist-izing everything. Stop trivializing the term “racism”. This is just a fashion trend.

There’s literally like 4-5 Asians total who are offended by this and yet we cave in to it. It’s like having a flu that kills 0.003% of the populace and shutting the whole country down.....which does even greater damage.....in order to be safe. It’s freaking asinine.

Need someone to explain the offensiveness of cultural appropriation assuming the intention is good. I take it as a compliment to my culture if people want to mimic what my culture represents.

Current trend.... blah blah blah blah... You: 'I need to do that to subvert my inferiority complex' New trend... blah blah blah You: 'now I need to do THAT to subvert my inferiority complex' It's never-ending. All they want is your money. Wake up. Be yourself. Pay yourself.

I thought a fox eye's are slanted in and downwards, not up and out

A ridiculous criticism. Stupid. Those critics should redirect their energy toward addressing real racism and inequality.

You must living a pretty good life for this to bother you

Cultural appropriation has always happened throughout history. It's a beautiful thing and it should be encouraged. We learn from and admire each other's expressions. What's the evil in that?

But Democrats kneeling with Ghanaian kente, perfectly fine. The only people complaining about cultural appropriation are entitled miserable white SJWs. Indigenous people don't care.

They look as though they’re rubbing out a migraine.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Kinda like how YOUR continous coverage of Trump rallies helped him to get elected?

This is news?!?!

(1) I know where this is going but fox eyed makeup has been around 4ever. I think some groups wnt 2 join a struggle unnecessarily. Several cultures hv ppl w/ a unique almond shape 👁naturally. I hav them & im a brown skin girl...

What is NOT cultural appropriation? Is eating and liking chinese food for example also cultural appropriation?

It seems like everything nowadays is racism.... WE NEED TO GROW UP!!

?what are you trying to do with this, anyway? What good is this doing for any one? Is this type of divisive misuse of your incredible opportunity to communicate something that has substance and is insightful to benefit people with the tools available to you from your platform?

Ancient Egyptians

So dumb

Oh please fk off

I feel similar about thick eyebrows bc I was made fun of having thick brows and still am while white culture currently wears it as a trend. We’ll go back to being uncool once the phase passes but my brows are here to stay.

Dear morons, we are a melting pot. Cultural appropriation is the point. That is all.

You’ve got to be kidding! This kind of nonsense has to stop and the news media must act ethically by refusing to report this kind of garbage

Yes, “fox eyes”

FFS! It's just eye makeup, Focker.

I hate y’all this section did not pass the vibe check. Some of y’all now making fun of people FOR being offended when you are in no place to deem what is offensive or not to Asians

So when Asians dye their hair blonde, put on whitening products and wear blue contact lens, is that racist? It is one’s own choice of makeup & fashion. They think it is pretty to have fox eyes or whatever you call it. I am half Asian and I don’t find it offensive at all.

I'm gonna go to sleep for a few years until all this bullshit stops.

THIS is what you waste your “journalists” time on? People are dying, becoming homeless, jobless, and losing everything because of Covid. The GOP and realDonaldTrump are doing everything they can to steal the election, and THIS is what you write about? Ya’ll are embarrassing.

As an Asian American, I feel like it’s a compliment! I love my almond shaped eyes 💁🏻‍♀️

I was born like this...all natural

Most people are dumb.

I typically like a woman in uniform I think it's sexy.

“Cultural appropriation” is such a ridiculous thing to be offended by. We all live on one world people. I may like something you do, you may like something I do. Sharing ideas promotes better understanding.

This is stupid.

This is totally appropriation and any defense of such behavior perpetuates systemic racism. We can and should do better! “...cultural appropriation as the adoption or exploitation of another culture by a more dominant culture.” - Ijeoma Oluo, So you want to talk about race.

What the hell? Slow news day?

for everyone who didn't understand: Gesture❌ Makeup✅ E A S Y

CNN please don’t band me for being asshole...I’m just having fun! It’s not my fault Karen’s and Kens stay Mad! Lol!

FOX EYES deemed RACIST and CRITICS want it stopped! Some ppl feel pics from past/present photoshoots be deleted from Models posts cuz it's appropriation! people edailypop theirishayk bellahadid voguemagazine ELLEmagazine CindyCrawford

What a waste of time.....influencers.....pleaaaaaaaase 🙄

Who cares?! Make up is for clowns only🤡 Make up! Cover my uglyness! Make yp! Make me less black!

Fake news cnn!

Get a life people! They are trying to look like an animal, a fox! Everyone is so f’n sensitive these days. Makes me sick. Besides, a racist act is defined as a person attempting to hold a group of people back, based on their race. People need to grow a pair!

Of course🙄

STOP APPROPRIATING FOXES!

CNN just needs to get banned off twitter at this point 🤣

We used to hate critics

Can we have one day where somebody isn't fucking offended by trivial matters?

Makeup is supposed to be fun... It washes off... My look is different every single day. I just wear what I feel like wearing for the day.... Stop politicizing everything! It's makeup!

Its offensive to foxes. They so sensitive.

fucking yawn

Oh FFS...

It’s pretty silly to stretch your eyes like that period. They just look stupid.

OMG don’t we have more important issues to worry about like Covid, unemployment and homelessness, than if someone is copying someone else’s eye shadow? Have you considered that it could be a sign that folks like what they see and want to emulate them. People get a grip

Bruh

Better?

How can a new generation be so soft? Everything is offensive nowadays

I see how Asians might find this offensive, to this day they still getting bullied over this. But you can’t possibly believe this trend is going to have any significant impact on Asians. Critics are critics, nothing more. Let’s fight for things that really matter.

I never once thought eye makeup was supposed to make someone look Asian. It’s just an aesthetic. Let people have their freedom of expression

When exactly did this organization stop reporting news?

Please stop with this cultural appropriation CRAP!!! LOOK AT AS AN HONOR THAT OTHERS LOOK AT YOUR CULTURE AS DESIRABLE!!! so sick and tired of this there's so much to PERPLEXED with!!! LIKE OUR COUNTRY IS TURNING INTO A $^! HOLE OF A COUNTRY!!!!!

Just looks stupid in my opinion

Influencers should be locked up with Ghislaine Maxwell.....

Sigh.... Here we fucking go again with this bullshit.

Maybe you should publish a list of what we can do! Oh, wait! There is nothing we can do that CNN would tolerate!

Fox News has taken over!

Dear CNN, Not EVERYTHING is racist, Pls just keep quiet. Your articles always appear as if it was written by a teenage social justice warrior. Tedious

Just Stop...

Unbelievable

It used to be a compliment to another race when you embraced parts of their culture.

Next thing you know .. I can’t eat Asian food. Smfh.

😂😂😂😂😂

Thought this was just winged eye liner

So is it racially insensitive when some Asian people decide to have cosmetic surgery on their eyelids to produce a double eyelid or alter a hooded eyelid? What about when some people use skin lightening creams?

Foxes are asking women to stop with the bs ....Just like ducks did with the duck lips photos 😂😂😂

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, not appropriation. But seriously who cares?!?!

This trend seems to be artificial and plain stupid.

Cultural appropriation is the worst. People can get on board for treating all races with respect and such. When you tell people white people can't sell burritos or sing hip hop, that's when you make people throw up their hands and give up.

Tanning is racially insensitive to brown people, and an act of cultural appropriation.

FOX eyes...

How about squint eye

So basically a feaux facelift.

Seriously now makeup is wrong. Come on man

Get the fuck out of here with this shit! It's a makeup style!!! How can this be racially insensitive?!?

I’m confused who’s offended? Foxes?

Just ridiculous. It's not blackface for fuck's sake.

We used to call it “cat eyes”

Trash headline. Trash story. Which is why it's extremely short. Ain't shit insensitive about this. The term is Fox eyes, y'all are the ones trying to associate it with Asians. News flash Asians don't look like foxes.

Can cnn reporting get any worse?

Just try to enjoy life for a change 🤦🏽

The left: We want everyone to be what they want to be, think what they want to think, do what they want to do, believe what they want to believe. Unless of course we disagree, then we'll destroy your life.

This style of make up has been around forever; It is not racial and while I agree with many things being offensive this is ridiculous.

If this is culture appropriation, then tanning is too!!!

who In the world would still vote Democrat at this point 😂 they want to defund the police, disarm the citizens, let all the child rapist out of prison, tell you when you can leave your house, go to work, Mt Rushmore is racist, flag is racist, FOX EYE IS RACIST 😂🤣🤡🤡🌎🌎🍿🍿🍿

Save Foxes.

Asian here, not offensive. Makeup is stupid though.

Remember the time the democrats wore kente slave gear and knelt on the congress floor for 8 minutes? That wasnt racist cultural appropriation?! Asking for a friend

Vanity will be the death of us all

Who cares what “critics” think? Wear what you want. Your body, your choice.

I struggle to understand how, in a multicultural world, you could still moan about 'cultural appropriation'. How can you possibly claim that Asians 'own' slanted eyes and no one else is allowed them? Perhaps I'm being ignorant? I'm open to rational explanations.

The same skewed news of other social injustice? DefenseIntel

Just so Tired of this BS.

Let’s ask the fox.

And who really gives a shit.

Lmao what isn’t racially insensitive and cultural appropriation these days? You know the great thing about living in a melting pot? We borrow from each other’s cultures and that’s great!

Looks awful. Wait till they get old . Omg

This is so stupid. That's it. That's the tweet.

So when style comes for a certain culture to prop it up and make it a superstar it’s an issue ? 🤐 shut up

And they also try to look biracial or African American when they are just plain Caucasian girls with caked on bronze makeup.

The stupidity never ceases to amaze.

Why are they trying to copy our queen Melania !! There is only one Beautiful out there and is her .

When a person reads from a book he is racist ! Paper was a product of the Arabs !

If fox eyes are outlawed then only outlaws will have fox eyes

What’s that saying about imitation and flattery? 🤔🤔🤔

tylenol

This is absolutely stupid.

So stupid. At one point South Asian Indians were ridiculed for their nose piercings and henna and now these are “beauty trends”. Time to stop getting offended for everything.

Then they cry and they have raccoon eyes

Overheard : “Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery but, yeah, let’s just go with racism instead.”

🤔 I thought foxes were animals....

Imagine critiquing how people apply makeup and not supporting the idea of self expression

Everything is cultural appropriation. People are just looking for reasons to be mad. Maybe they should spend the same energy doing something good in the community

😂😂😂. Omg. This trend has been around forever. Give me a break!

Now do the story on East Asian Blepharoplasty

Appropriating whom? Foxes?

FFS, it’s make-up! Who are these ‘influencers’? Cultural appropriation? Racist? My mother wore that look in the 50s and 60s! Has the world not got bigger problems to worry about than this? Hand me a glass of wine before I explode.
