If you don't know what it means, you might want to look it up.

People have negative opinions about KOGAL because they act like morons. I don't think it is because of their tanned skin.

same here in america w/ the general dislike towards certain......people x]

it's hard not to be a racist when roughly 80% of said population support all the negative stereotypes that are said (by peers and the media) about them >.>"

I read this a few times, but I really want to be clear what you mean by "certain.....people" and how 80% of a certain race acts. Can you explain more clearly?

especially with what i see and hear around the school =.=
when like... a large majority of them, tend to uphold the stereotypes against them x.x'

alot of them are ignorant, self-righteous, have little respect for others (those outside their "circle"), pick fights for the most retarded of reasons, throw up those idiotic "gang signs", make up 90% of the impregnated females in the high school (of which make up roughly 5% the school population), or females with children already.

again, not saying they're ALL like that...

Yeah I agree. But then again, if you wear sun-cream, you don't get tanned aswell, which is basically the point. >.<

I don't mind being my pale self that's just how I am :D

but i dont think for the loli-goth/classic goth look you have to paste on the make-up. you can just have ur natural skin tone it doesnt matter reli.:vsign:

You don't have to be really pale to be a successful Goth Loli. If you really insist you could go a shade lighter of your foundation and it wouldn't look out of place, since your face is naturally a slighter darker colour than the rest of you anyway. The only time paste white makeup looks good is when it's done by someone good at it. I've seen people attempt it, and it looks like Slipknot gone wrong, and it's all pasty and streaky >.< Not attractive.

I am a little sad, Yuujirou. I thought you were more intelligent than to hold such racist opinions. Maybe that is what you see in front of your face, but there is a big world out there and "they" aren't like "that" everywhere. As someone I am sure has experienced discrimination in your life I am sure you wouldn't like to be held to the lowest standard.

Sadly, that's what I would call racist values.

I am not trying to be mean when I say that many racists and KKK members say the exact same thing.

Yes. They must prove to you they are worthy of your positive opinion. Although, the pit you have dug for "them" is pretty deep ("over 50% of all crimes are committed by them", "a large majority of them, tend to uphold the stereotypes against them", "the general dislike towards certain......people", "80% of said population support all the negative stereotypes")
