发帖数: 3813 | 1 Julie Chen, 43, has had a successful career hosting shows like "Big Brother,
" "The Early Show" and now "The Talk."
But it wasn't always that way, and Chen admitted yesterday as part of "The
Talk's" Secret Week that she gave into industry pressure years ago to change
the look of her eyes to look less Chinese. In fact, she had plastic surgery.
Chen was working as a local reporter in Dayton, Ohio, almost 20 years ago
and wanted a chance to be an anchor. What her news director told her at age
25 is pretty startling.
"He said, 'You will never be on this anchor desk, because you're Chinese,'"
Chen revealed to her co-hosts. "He said, 'Let's face it Julie, how relatable
are you to our community? … Because of your Asian eyes, sometimes I've
noticed that when you're on camera and you're interviewing someone, you look
disinterested, you look bored because your eyes are so heavy, they are so
small.'"
Chen said his speech felt like a dagger to her heart.
"It felt like a weird, grown-up version of racism in the workplace," she
added. "I started developing a complex."
To make matters worse, she met with agents for career advice, only to hear
from a "big-time" agent, "'I cannot represent you unless you get plastic
surgery to make your eyes look bigger,'" Chen recalled. "And I did it."
The concept of changing her face to look less Chinese divided her family,
she said. "Members of my family wanted to disown me if I got it done."
In the end, her parents supported the decision. She showed before and after
pictures to show that, "If you look at the after, the eyes are bigger, I
look more alert."
After the procedure, the opportunities did start to pick up for Chen, she
continued.
"I don't like to live with regrets," she said. "I did it, I moved on. No one
's more proud of being Chinese than I am." | C****t

发帖数: 3942 | 4 And that's the fact in many work places in America. As Asian, or as Chinese,
we definitely need to face it and fight for our equal opportunity.
I don't support resorting to facial surgery to further your career paths,
but I won't criticize if someone chose to do so either.
Everyone deserves fair and equal treatment here in the US but you also need
to stand up for it.

一个是上面的小眼睛。亚裔的sterotype就是 "Blindfold a Chinese with my

更加严重的是体格太小，对女的影响小一点，对男的是致命的。
