Maybe, maybe not, but that's not really what you're arguing here. You're arguing girls love
conventional beauty ... and that's patently false.
Take black women, for instance; to quote from a 2016 medical paper:

In other words, black women grow up in a society that tells them they need to look more conventionally beautiful (ie. white). Some do embrace that message, but many more deny it, instead striving to look
unconventionally beautiful, in their own natural way.
Similarly here, Iksar women may not be conventionally beautiful ... but don't you think it's just a little bit racist to say they aren't beautiful at all ... simply because they look less different from you?
