This article in CNN, "Skin whiteners labeled racist", reminded me of the top 2 old school thoughts embraced in Asia...even until today:
1. Light skin = more beautiful
2. Being skinny as a stick = more beautiful
*shakes head*
Old school thoughts!
Bah!
Not that I'm suggesting it wise to go out in the sun and get a tan without SPF or that we all eat ourselves to obesity, but sheesh...it pains me to death that the people (particularly women!) in Asia STILL strive to use products and find crazy ways and contraptions to make themselves look lighter or "whiter" and to be the size of anorexic. Why? WHY?!
It's things like this that make me grateful for a country where running freely in the sun while turning a shade of golden medium and building muscle mass...is sexy.
*nod*
Thank goodness!
