Who wants to restrict this surgery? I personally couldn't care less but it is kind of stupid when you think about it. Nazis were into keeping the white race pure through genetics...dying your hair and making your eyes blue isn't going to breed more Aryan babies. Either way, I don't think this is going to be a hot issue or something that gets liberals' panties in a wad.

That might be true, but we still notice several commenters saying they have great dislike of this procedure based on their ideology of "trying to look Nordic is Nazi/evil". If they won't try to stop it, then at least some of them will try to denigrate it as people suffering from racial superiority/inferiority complex created by "evil white colonialists". Some examples:

I'm mostly liberal. If someone wants to do any cosmetic procedure, what business is it of mine. I always compliment people when they tell me about cosmetic procedures they have done. I don't think "they must hate themselves"! Lol.

All the men in my moms family go bald starting at 30. TRUST, if I inherited those genes I will be indulging I every single cosmetic or genetic experiment to keep my hair. Forget that "you should love who are!" crap. I very much love myself. I would absolutely hate being bald though. If some people feel the same way about their eye color, who am I to judge?

What would otherwise be a just another development in the field of cosmetic technology has turned to some as a step toward fascism. At least according to some left-minded folk commenting on the news:

If you are a rational person you would probably find that kind of thinking mildly amusing. After all, millions of people around the world get surgery that permanently changes a feature in their body or face. How many Jewish and other celebrities have gotten rhinoplasty to make their noses smaller and similar to "Anglo" ones? Yet, no one is dumb enough to mutter about them trying to emulate Nazi ideology.

Seems like Nordic reverse-fetishism is rampant in leftist ideology. Anytime people out of their own free will choose to change their appearance in a way that somehow resembles "Nordic whites" it becomes a disgusting outrage to them.
This is one person on the internet. Chill out. Geez, politics on City Data is getting ridiculous.

Get a hobby.

If samy Sosa wants to look more white, I don't see the problem with it. Samy Sosa has the right to look however he pleases. If he was doing these procedures to his children, then I would have a problem, but he's not.

And that is different from tanning. How? But then, I'm sure it is the leftists who go running around speaking against someone opting for gender change while right wingers adore the idea.

See, the world is so "well defined" after all. But if you care about a leftist's point of view, here it is: Your body... your choice. My body, my choice. Mind your own damn business.

Agreed.

Seen any pictures of Sammy Sosa lately? If anyone finds this eye color procedure offensive their head is going to explode when they see him.

Then there are all the train-wreck plastic surgeries like Meg Ryan.....and many more.

Then you won't find me sexy, because I refuse to lose my hair! I will sell my soul to keep it. I'm doing good so far, but i'm still young enough for it to fall out at any moment.
