You have seen a few documentaries that say Asian women get plastic surgery in order to look like white women?
I would like to hear more about these shows. I am familiar with the Jessica Simpson one, but I would not conclude that the reason all women in Asia get blepharoplast (eye widening procedure) because they want to look white. For a certain percentage, with that one procedure, that may be true, but larger eyes are considered attractive in practically all cultures, and it's not because white people generally have wider eyes. It makes one look younger and more expressive.
In Korea, for example, a lot of people get this procedure done, but nowadays it is almost expected and a sign of upper crust culture, not of looking western.
