not all people have a neg. image of 'tanned skin'. alot of people have a neg. image of like for exp, black people jewish people etc. but then again some black people dont like people that are white, some chinese people may not like people that are another race etc. u get my drift.

No skin colour looks better than another in my opinion >.< I wouldn't let unchangeable pigments in my skin change the way I dress. Obviously you wear things that compliment your skin colour, much as you do with wearing makeup that suits your eye colour, but no skin colour is blantantly prettier than another!

i didnt mean everyone like that..
it just based on my own observation :mtongue:

i agree with u about the dif races.
as i said..it depends..
i know not all people r like that(including u..)
but most of them..i think ^^"

the problem is when things like stereotypes have been put into peoples headz espesh when theyre yung and impressionable and by parents or idols/people that they look up to.

thats exacty my point, but then again not all people from the Uk but alot are open minded about race and skin colour.

not all asian people, I know that south east asian people aren't so big on 'pale' skin. but thats because they look really beautiful with tanned skin, e.g: filipino, vietnamese.

But chinese/korean/japanese girls think that pale is good because its prettier, you look more radiant.

wow
 

this this a really bad and yet good topic to talk about!
i see people make threads like this one all the time !
but most of them end really badly,and get block or locked !
i'm so happy to see how everyone is respecting each other
on this web site !
i don't mean this in bad way,but i always wanted to know how japanesse people feel about blacks in the u.s.a. coming over there to live or just on vacation ?!
what do most of them think about us ?!:confused:

Two words: Holly Wood x) That's one but.. yeah >.<'

That's just their idealized female concept of beauty.

I don't get it :confused: Why would anyone want a fairer skin tone? I spend HOURS, DAYS and WEEKS lying in the sun to get a goddamn tan ¬¬'

well, i don't think they have anything against blacks.
I mean most of them are pretty normal, they accept black people. It's not a novelty. >.> It's not the middle ages y'know.

But i think some of the older generation who are quite conservative wouldn't want their sons/daughters getting married to one. That's a small minority though, its not the race problem, but they just think that darker skin is not that pretty and image to some people mean everything.

But then again, you get those people in america/uk/[insert country here] as well

Suki: When chinese people than, they don't go golden. they just darken and on some people it looks beautiful, and on some, e.g: myself it doesn't. [plus i dont tan, however long i stand in the sun]

I guess its the ideology that a fair skin tone is more radiant and therefore prettier. This doesn't apply for everyone though
