Oh Blue-Eyed Thais, Flaunt Your Western Genes!

People have traversed the world for millennia, marrying and producing children of multiple heritages. In some parts of the world, the ethnically mixed 'look' is quickly becoming a new trend in beauty. In Thailand, mixed-race people discriminated against for looking “different” when they were younger are finding themselves rising to fame as models, pop stars, and game show hosts. Some see this trend as a positive shift toward a sort of “global culture,” but others aren't so certain that the pendulum won't swing back to a more nationalist, disparaging view of people of mixed race people. – YaleGlobal
