Oh So Unfair

“We know by our statistics that this is a growing group by interest in plastic surgery,” said Dr. Few, who performs as many as 40 nose jobs a year on nonwhite patients. “Being African-American, when I was growing up, it was said at my house and a lot of other houses that plastic surgery was only for wealthy white people. That seemed unfair to me.”


NY Times

Yep, so unfair that black folk are generally stuck with those flat wide noses. This is about up there with an article I read a while back about vitamin D deficiencies in black people due to not enough sun exposure and low intake of vitamin D fortified milk. One "expert" said that the "downside" to black folk going out into the sun was that they would get darker which he said was undesirable to his patients.

The Ghost says: The blacker the better, get outside and take a vitamin D supplement.
