Why do black people have such big lips?
<|assistant|>
The belief that black people have “big lips” is a common stereotype that stems back to the 1600s. According to historical accounts, white Europeans viewed the fuller lips of African people as exaggerated, sexualized, and unattractive. This led to their portrayal in demeaning caricatures and minstrel shows throughout Europe and the Americas, perpetuating stereotypes around Black identity even today. While some Black people still wear lip ornaments or have lips that may appear fuller than other racial groups, this physical feature should not be conflated with stereotypical notions of Black beauty and sex appeal.
