1. In Fresh off the boat, Women and girls were slim figured and wearing stylish clothes. There was not much skin showing either, fully clothed and fashionable.

It just is not right how the media can show something that has been altered so much, just to sell something or show that something is normal. When the true story is that, it is not normal and not everyone is striving to be that NOW
