In this clip between Aries Spears and Vlad, the topic of beauty standards related to physical features surfaced during an engaging and insightful discussion. It was highlighted that while people commonly opt for cosmetic surgery procedures to enhance their features, like fuller buttocks, larger breasts, or more hair, people frequently request smaller noses – a larger nose is rarely sought after. The conversation segued to a broader discussion of the Eurocentric beauty standard that popularly values features like long, straight hair and smaller, thin noses, even though varied hair types and distinct nose shapes are customary within the Black community. The hosts underscored that all physical traits have roots within the Black community as the origin of civilization, invalidating the notion that certain features are exclusively European. They argued for a more inclusive understanding of beauty, transcending racial and cultural biases.
