What a fascinating read! I recall my first encounter with this “beauty culture” to be in “Little Women”, when Amy tries to pinch her nose to make it pointier. I was utterly confused to say the least!
I’d argue one thing though- the blonde blue eyes combination is not much “European”, is more white-Anglo-Saxon. A huge chunk of Europe is located around the Mediterranean or Black Sea and these characteristics are also “alien” to most of us -not yet dark enough to be “brown people”, but definitely not WASP :)
