IS “HANDSOME” RESTRICTED ACCORDING RACES??

I mean, handsome means handsome, there is nothing to do with races, right? Chinese must always use “pretty” and “handsome” for only Chinese? Western people are not Chinese but to most Asians (like me), they appear to be “prettier”and “more handsome”. It’s very normal that we as Chinese always say Americans and those Western people are pretty and handsome.

So, “handsome” this adjective is also not restricted to certain races only, correct?
So is there anything wrong when i say some Malays and Thais are handsome? Nothing wrong also right?

Well, this issue came into my mind when i went Tesco last night. If you have gone before, there are some stores selling bags, shoes, clothes, etc. outside Tesco, just outside the Pelita nasi kandar. So i went there. By the way, the stores are managed by a group of Thais, around 3-4 persons. So, i shopped there for a while and i saw a Thai, one of the store owners. Handsome? Yeah, i would consider him as handsome because i would consider guys with similar style as handsome. So he appears to be handsome to me, just like the way Golf and Mike made me feel they are handsome. Anyway, he is not as attractive as Golf and Mike because of absence of make-up, clothing, styling, etc. He is just very natural guy, and that’s the style i would consider guys as handsome – no styling, no putting wax and gel on the hair; just be as natural as possible. (That’s why sometimes i would like artists without extensive investment on their look, like Yida =D)

So my point is, Thais can be handsome too, right? Sometimes i tell my family someone is handsome, and just because their “skin colour” is different, my mom would just stare at me and scream “What? So dark wor?”
I thought, what’s wrong? Handsome means handsome, nothing to do with colour. Thais, Malays, and even Indians can be handsome too, right? Just like Japanese, Koreans, Americans, etc.

(As quoted from the photo) If a Korean artist can appear to be handsome to you, why not a Thai artist?
It is possible, right?
Handsome is a word in dictionary – widely used. 
So as a conclusion, handsome is never restricted to races. =D
