Asian Women: So You Think You're Beautiful?

During my post-workday web surfing, I came across this article a couple days ago about asian women and their perceptions of beauty. Pretty interesting, the study was performed by Dove and it was part of their new campaign of Real Beauty.
From the article:
It was conducted on 2,000 Asian women from 10 countries, including Thailand, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines, with a questionnaire based on previous beauty perception studies in Europe and America as developed by Unilever and Harvard University... With the 2,000 respondents, the study showed that only about 60 (or 3 percent) were comfortable in describing themselves as "beautiful." A third chose to answer "simple or natural" while others opted for "average or normal."
Way too much to go into here, you've just got to read how asian women see themselves, and what "beauty" truly is.
