But I'm not going to get into that here.
Let's just agree to disagree on this one eh Tenchu and let the other discussion flow.

Agree to disagree? I'm pointing out a fact; the maoris and aboriginies have more "privalleges" in their respective countries than white people do.

Yes, but no one here actually agrees with that perspective; we're just talking about it. So you don't need to defend yourself from us, just relax and have a discussion.

That is only too much sun. The sun is a rich source of energy; it is healthy to have some, and that will darken you just a tad.
This is no excuse for pulling out an umberella just to walk 20m from a shopping center to your car.

Does the color of my skin suggest that my uterus doesn't work, and that I won't be able to carry a child? Why is white skin a better option for a partner? Does white skin somehow mean that the person is smarter, and so the child will be smarter? Is it just that no one really wants to have a child that will have to suffer in this racist world?
And to continue with the questions: why is brown skin ugly? Is it because it reminds you of monkeys, or dirt, or something else unattractive? Is it because that's what your parents told you? Is it because on TV, you only see white women and men like Paris Hilton and Brad Pitt? Is brown skin ugly because, even now in 2009, it somehow suggests to you that people have been slaving away all day out in sun, and so must be of a less status than you? Is brown skin ugly because it means that the person must be a criminal? Does brown skin scare you because people of brown color are actually called "black," and black suggests something dark and evil, whereas "white" has always represented purity, innocence, and good? Or is it just because you're racist?
I'm curious. Please, anyone - explain why you prefer a white skinned partner.

My wife is Thai, but her skin is black enough to be referred to as "negro". So honestly, I don't know why you're askin us this.
