"Tan skin doesn't look good" hmmm....... lets not but we will be giving this a chance caus...

bruh same i was like ummmmm ok then i saw the rest ok ill give you one more chance

sad but true(⌒▽⌒) ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Tan boy here! Gurl, this is chinese right? People over there go to the beach with face masks just to not get tan! That's crazy to me but I guess it's their culture. Foreign beauty standands be like...

Probably because it's an east asian comic where a pale skin is the beauty standard.

it's a cultural thing.. in chinese dramas they alway mention a beauty has pale skin and a small face.

It's actually less of a cultural thing and more of a ballet things. I've done ballet before and it is actually extremely discriminatory. After you've graduated dance school, and getting into a company is hard enough in itself, many companies are actually looking not just on performance alone but also on looks. You see, in ballet, it focuses around the philosophy of aethetics and grace, which is why going en point has been such a thing and on why most point shoes are skin tone, it needs to match the skin to make the leg more extended. And that is why being fair skinned is mostly desired in ballet, because being tan makes your point shooe and your skin mis-matched which is less desirable. It's a sad truth.

That's what I thought early one when reading... but then I forgot, haha....

That's not why they said it though, it's because of the beauty standard they were taught with tan skin being a negative thing (big yikes). They're kids and probably don't know all of this.

If you watch asian dramas this is a common attitude. I find it kind of sad, but also find western ideas of beauty sad and oppressive as well. It's been like this throughout history across the world, the ideas of what is beautiful changes but seems important at the time to many people.

And here I am being called mozzarella..... The power of different colture

Me too. People keeps telling me " you're too white" "you look sick" "go get some sun" "go get a tan" "with you, we don't need lights on" and so on .. I'm tired.

Exactly
