As for me, I’m not going to front about my own colonized insecurities. One of which I encountered the other day at IHS when forced to stand on a scale. I hate scales and everything they symbolize. I wanted to crush it with a sledgehammer! As soon as I saw those three digital numerals, I felt self conscious in a way I hadn’t moments before. It forced me to ask myself why numbers on a scale bothered me so much. What was I comparing myself to? It irritated me I was so sensitive about it, yet my feelings of inadequacy were so real in that moment, I couldn’t help but ride the emotional tidal wave. I like to think I’m better, stronger than what mainstream media tells me is beautiful, but clearly I too am impressionable
So, she blames the "colonized mindset" http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/article/why-im-hot-146085
Is “hot” just code speak for white
All casino food.Well duh!
I've never heard an in shape American Indian woman (or any in shape woman, for that matter) complain about "standards", and I've seen some fine ones...

Shhh, due to implants, this woman would be appealing to the "colonized ideal" according to the writer and therefore should not be considered hot by Native American standards...But, universally, she is a bangin' woman!
In this case I would be hesitant to call them fake. She could have really weird shaped natural ones...
Not much native left in those genes.
