It's not JUST my skin color, you're right. I'm not a very good-looing guy, but the thing is ugly guys of other races pull chicks in Japan. These guys are known as the "Charisma Men", I believe? Thus, race is an issue. Japan values blonde hair and blue eyes as extremely beautiful, so being ugly and Black is a major disadvantage, while being ugly and White means that dudes can still do well; their ugliness is often offset by the fact that they are white and white is beautiful. As I've said: if you're Black and dark-skinned, you'd better be tall, into hip-hop 9chasing hip-hop girls), good-looking, and maybe rich while a White guy can be fat, short, balding, and poor; the image of his race benefits him. Life is not fair, and that's just the way it is.
