Troy,
I am NOT "rationalizing" or condoning what Sosa has done. If anything, my kneejerk response to what he has done to himself is to PITY him.
Still, I say what he is doing is a part of the a much BROADER environment and culture of 100's of millions - perhaps BILLIONS - of people throughout the world attempting to somehow CHANGE how they look. Perhaps many (like yourself) find Sosa's REASONING for and MANNER of doing such to be particularly worrisome. But if we all look honestly and fairly at ALL of the ways in which we ALL seek to improve our appearance and standing, MUCH of it has a decidedly EUROCENTRIC origin and/or perspective (e.g., see Chris Rock's unnecessarily controversial Good Hair).
Sosa is merely an exaggeration or caricature of that. |
