Asia’s obsession with white skin leaves a black mark

[ghee101]

funny how many so caled white people sit in the sun all day long to be the colour of our partners , seems we are quids in already

hahaha...I remember when my boyfriend and I went to a park in Amsterdam. I let him get all the sun and I got my back against the light and sometimes I am under the trees! I am tan enough and just getting my natural color back after more than a month. Let me find one picture ^_~

I was this dark when we met in person last June.



This is my regular color:

Now, that's what I get for having an account that I cant edit. Is this a glitch? I always get double post

I find it amusing that so many Filipinas seem to go to great lengths to whiten their skin ... whereas - conversely - western women put all sorts of effort into having THEIRS tanned!

I saw adverts for "skinwhite" one day, flew home and saw adverts for tanning salons two days later.

Easiest thing to do is move everyone in the UK to the Philippines, and everyone from the Philippines to the UK and let evolution take its course

I like to think all of us who have got fast track visas lately are all "doing our bit" to make this a reality ... one step at a time

Unfortunately, that "white" obsession of the Filipinos was brought about by nearly 400 years of colonization.

Simply put, "white" was the color of the rich, ruling class. It started with the Spanish rule, where rich,educated Filipinos had Spanish blood in them - making them whiter. This is what we call meztiza/meztizo. (I think a direct spanish translations of those words mean half-breed). Then came Americans and chinese which were also "rich".

Its just now in modern history do you see pure-malay blood Filipinos get rich. But look at our ruling class, the oligarchy if the Philippines. Most if not all are decedants of Spanish rulers. Chinese tycoons are next

(but you need to give credit to some of these guys like Henry Sy and Lucio Tan who amassed their fortunes thru hardwork. they were middleclass when they arrived in the Philippines)

oh, and I never heard anybody not being hired because of skin-color, except for models/actress. just so happens the roles they were auditioning for required "white" pinays or mestizas.

Heck, there's even an invasion of Brazilian models in Manila now, just to get the perfect mestiza look.
