it's just got to be said. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. be what you want nothing else. just be beautiful/handsome or whatever you want to be that makes you happy.

Some of it is historical like said before. If you were tan, it meant that you worked outside and were a farmer. White skin is sometimes seen as more elite. but this is not always true in japan. Why does there have to be a reason to have white skin. You dont ask why does everyone want a tan in the US.

It's because they're racist. It is to do with class structure, mostly. Physical labour jobs require "fun in the sun", where as middle class jobs are indoors. No man wants to be seen married to the farmers daughter when he is trying to socially climb. Japan is better than most Asian countries. Thailand is a shocker. They plainly think all black people (Africans, Aussie Aboriginals) are simply ugly. But a lot of Japanese still think like that. As a person mentally advances, they overcome the fear of the sun...

Japan is progressing, and losing racism, so it isn't so bad anymore. Japanese girls are embracing water sports and Japanese men are still chasing them. Japan is moving on. But this is why it is so. It is more bad in other Asian countries, especially my home, Thailand. My wife is South Thai, meaning she naturally has extremely dark skin (she looks half African, literally). No Thai man has ever been interested in her. Seriously, for no other reason than her skin color, people think she is ugly. This isn't tied to culture as much as arrogance. I mean, I never had blacks around when I grew up, nor Asians, but I find both attractive when it's the right girl. The eternal Saint is calling, through the ages she has told.

Ok I think its just the wording that we are disagreeing on. I dont think it has to do with mentally growing. That implies that as you get smarter the less racist you are. Its just more of a time period thing and as views change. There are smart racist people and vice versa. I think we agree for the most part, I was just kind of confused by the wording you had.

light skin color may have used to mean you were elite but now dark skin means you have time to play or just tan.
