Featurism

The name (created by Tee Noir) for the idea that Eurocentric features (slim nose, high cheekbones, and loose curls) are more favorable than Afrocentric features (coily hair, wide nose, dark skin).

“Because of featurism, the only wide spread representation of black women in the media are light-skinned women with loose curls and light eyes.”

creeping featurism

noun

A condition in which one or more people, often in the form of a committee, progressively increase the scope and complexity of a project until the project is deemed infeasible and subsequently cancelled to the detriment of all involved.

Such projects are typically of a technical nature. Likewise someone who commits creeping featurism is most likely to be an engineer or otherwise technically advanced but not business minded.
