THANK YOU, exactly. What’s up with that?
Blame it on the media, dude is what I say. In fact blame it on human nature, I mean if you’ve short hair, you want it lengthened, if you’re short you wanna be taller, etc.
The same goes for the Westerners, while they envy our naturally tanned skin, we on the other hand envy their pale skin!

It’s almost insulting to me that it indicates if you’re dark-skinned then you’re automatically ugly. Then what about those that are born with such dark complexions? Does that mean they should be ostracized for their appearance? *rolls eyes*
That’s what makes us all unique. If we all looked pale, wouldn’t that be a “colorless” and dull world?

people sometimes don’t know how to appreciate their natural appearence. People don’t think it is right to say they are beautiful because they think it’s like boasting.
i think television has contributed a lot to this problem.

In the Philippines, most women love having “fair” or “whiter” skin. It’s advertised in the media, etc… White is supposed to be associated with purity. Also, in the olden days, women used to stay indoors and not work, meaning they were fairer skinned than if they were to work outside. Is it like a symbol of health.
Personally, I like women with a little tan, looks caliente!

the main obsession in Malaysia is with Chinese women wanting to have the perfect figure more than white skin. there are hundreds of clinics everywhere charging a bomb, promising to ’sculpt’ their body.
but its not as tacky as in India. there are actually ads on TV where a girl gets rejected because she’s dark and after she uses “Fair & Lovely”, she wins the man of her dreams.
same stuff in Singapore. its an Asian mentality where white is considered beautiful.

reason for whittening is to let the paints of the colours in the face looks nicer and more attractive.

well a lot of white/pale people like a suntan…. I guess people are never happy with what they have… they want something else.
dark people want light skin
light skinned people want darker skin.

Even the most successful or beautiful people in the world are never completely satisfied with themselves but always in want of more…
Take Michael Jackson for example… He used to be black but look at him now…
