The white colour that japanese n asian wants is not the pink white that western ppl have. Basically it's pale white, like some kinda perfect animation skin.
The reason is pretty simple: it looks pretty cute on them if they have bright white skin. On the other hand, if u have dark skin, when u bleech ur hair blonde or very bright colour, it wont fit u. That's what i think! |

Well, I read a couple of articles about this subject, the last was this summer in the newspaper. xD
It said that in Japanese society being tanned is associated with working in the open air, like farmers and construction-builders and people like that. Those are very often relatively poor people, so being tanned kind of means you are poor. When you are white, you don't have to work much, don't need to go outside when you don't want to, etcetera. It also said something about people in Japan going more and more to beaches and so, but with umbrellas and hats to protect themselves from getting tanned. xD It's only what the article said, I don't know if it's really true! |

Light skin has been associated with beauty and high social status in Japan for centuries. Members of the royal family and the upper class could afford to spend most of their time indoors, limiting their sun exposure, and therefore having paler skin. The lower class working in the fields had darker skin. Well, this is what I've heard from some of my aunts. Wanting to have pale or tanned skin is a matter of personal opinion. Not all non-European people want to be lighter. Hell, I'm Asian and Hispanic and we tan as much as much as White people do.

Personally, I like tanned skin on my body more because it
shows muscles and thinness off. I like whiter skin for my face though, just because I think it looks better... but I can't do both of those or I would be given some strange looks. The white skin was what they used for geishas? Maybe they think it looks elegant or secretive. Help my Cause for homeless teens!
