This is a complex issue, in the Western world it's about altering yourself for appeal that will feed profit. It's very telling that the people of color who make it huge are considered really pretty (like Jamie Foxx and Halle Berry). Jamie Foxx doesn't have white features IMO, but Halle as a child of mixed ethnicity does (though she did have rhinoplasty... no?) Still, she looks exactly like her mother's daughter, with or without the rhinoplasty.
There's a double standard when it comes to facial features and weight. Men say they like certain features even though what sell big is the exact opposite of what they choose in real life.
My children are mixed race (I'm white, and one of their paternal grandparents is Middle Eastern, the other is Kazakh). They both turned out better-looking than both their parents. I think this happens a lot.
