Maybe it's white privilege rearing its ugly head but I was unaware that skin whitening was a big thing is Asian countries. It's also not just the women that feel the need to stay both out of the sun and apply possibly harmful formulas to their skin,the men also long for whiteness. Part of the reasoning is that the darker their skin the more it speaks of them working in fields or other menial labor,the other is the white skin people dominate their cultures as examples of success. Meanwhile back in the white skinned venue white skinned people are busily paying to get their skin darker. Enough to make a person wonder why people are so obsessed with their looks when inside we're all the same.
