I just wanted to give my thoughts after listening to your side of things. I’m a white blonde green eyed American. I don’t agree with the idea that white woman are the clean girl aesthetic that the industry try’s to portray. I personally see a clean girl as well kept minimal and beautiful while doing it. I personally don’t think Asian girls aren’t clean girls regardless of what images from the beauty industry try’s to put out. Asian women are mannered intelligent healthy looking and there skin is flawless. If there is another message they are trying to send I personally just wanted to say allot of white woman don’t believe there message. I can honestly say I think every race color creed has beautiful clean girl aesthetic, women! I do understand why you think this because it’s all they show in the beauty industry. And its wrong and sad. But don’t think for a minute, a lot of white women believe this is the only way like they portray because we don’t. We are smarter then that. And if there are some white woman who fall for this nonsense that just goes to show you the intellect of that individual which apparently wouldn’t be very high. I love the honesty you brought to the table and I pray this nonsense that there trying to make other races feel stops . Hope you have a wonderful day !

Thank you for your kind comment. I agree with you and just want to add that the majority of influencers that promote the "clean girl" aesthetics are white women, but I do believe that most of them do it out of the context of classism and racism but rather for consumerism, virality and publicity. The marketing of "if you want to look clean, do this and don't do that" is the main issue. I think they (the corporate) mean "to look rich in a high-status capital way". Growing up in an east Asian country where the concept of body acceptance or neutrality has never been discussed actuallly has an impact on my "clean girl" sentiment. Asians have even higher and stricter beauty standards on women, i.e., pale and clear skin, skinny figures, hairless, perfect teeth. If we don't meet all of those requirements, we are sadly "filthy". Especially in a developing country, the discussion on how to to look as desirable as "westerners" in order to erase the socio-economical gap has overwhelmed and disgusted me. I'm proud of my identity and we should be proud of all aspects of our identities, let alone it's something we can't change. So I'd rather not follow that trend and perpetuate that idea of inequality. All the best.
