I'm turning 18 come November. I am 175 cm, South Indian descent.
But I have somewhat unique facial features. I have a polynesian
nose and average malay skin tone. I am quite shy and still
schooling. I have always wanted to try modelling. I know the drill,
eat proper diet, work out alot and apply through an agency. So far
I've never at all... seen any Indian males doing for any
singaporean photoshoot or runways. Although recently an Sg Indian
male won the international Manhunt. Its very intimidating,
especially when I don't know anyone that does modelling. I did
quite alot of photoshoot when I was 5 and even appeared in a
McDonalds ad. But thats such a long time ago...
What do you guys think?
*edit*
Lesson learned no one is spared of racism, even on the
internet.
For the haters: I am going to try modelling. I will check
classified ads and attend interview. I am taking baby steps at a
time. I will first try Indian employers, for Indian fashion
designers. Once I build up my portfolio and experience I will try
other stuff.
You can keep those vile comments to yourself or not. Your hatred
only makes me the one at the recieving end hungry to prove
myself.

I think it doesn't matters what you want to do or plan to
become in the future.
As long as your ambitions does not cause any worries for your
parents and loved ones, and does not bring hurt to any individuals
and animals, I think you should go for it.
Be proud of who you are and your own heritage and NOT be proud
of what people think of you and your heritage.
Welcome to the world of modelling.
