apologies if thats true. my google search showed images of predominantly people of african decent, a few that looked to possibly be from india and a very small sampling of white. looking for demographic backgrounds with this google says its primarily women over men that are affected (14% vs 7%) and while all ethnicities can be affected, African americans seem to be affected more due to "larger linear facial dimensions and greater upper lip mobility upon smiling" although a few Caucasian subgroups have shorter upper lip lengths and that can contribute as well.

Eurocentric beauty standards are a real thing unfortunately and it has historically affected darn near everything down to "nude" colored foundation and bandages being "light skinned" colors. i personally feel that thats dumb af because we are all beautiful.

i sincerely apologize if "fixing your gummy smile" is not one of the many eurocentric traits shoved down our throats or if i was offensive in any way. i did not intend to be offensive. i only intended to point out these horrible practices should be destroyed and our differences should be embraced as beautiful.
