Haven't done it yet, but I suspect I'll show some sort of skew on the
blacks one - I'm accustomed to seeing Euro-caucasians, orientals and
Australian-Aboriginal face types, but there're VERY few African-dark-
skinned people in Australia.
To me, dark-coloured skin "should" be over Koori (Australian aboriginal)
bone structure. It's just what my eyes and brain see as 'beauty' under
dark skin.
(Same way I expect the skin that's falsely called 'yellow' to be over
Oriental-type features, and 'white' to be over Caucasian shapes.)
When I went to the States, I kept having to readjust for 'yes, that is
an appropriate face shape for that skin shade'. After the first week
or so, I got used to it - but it was one of the culture-shock things
I had to settle down on.
And it wasnt something I felt I could talk about. I could bitch about
the plumbing system being 'wrong', or noone having vegemite, but not
that. You know?
