Here's some quotes that aren't mine if you're confused. Don't confuse the messenger with the originator... I am only stating what I read.

quote:

Despite her success, critics complain the Singapore Girl concept is sexist, outmoded and largely intended to serve male passengers' fantasies of desirable, subservient Oriental women.

The Straits Times once quoted a Qantas Airways chairman referring to the campaign as "massage parlour in the sky ads".


I don't really think it's that sexist.

As far as Asian culture goes, I think the surgeries these otherwise unattractive women get to fit more into an Asian-American stereotype is much worse.

Oh, well, some critics have said . . .


Funny, one of those critics happens to be the chairman of a rival airline. I'm sure he is not biased at all.

Those surgeries are not to fit an Asian-American stereotype. I assume you're talking about the mainly prevalent S. Korean surgeries where the women have their eyelids operated on (and nose jobs as well). Those standards are developed there in Korean society.
