It seems a bit ridiculous to say that anyone who wants darker skin is just going on personal preference but if you want lighter skin its because of "the colonial mentality and discrimination against dark skin folks".
There were lighter skinned Asians and darker skinned Asians long before the colonization era
youre still young right? not too late to become a sm trainee, or jyp trainee nawz ..
I know it sounds ridiculous but the whitening culture and getting all this work on your face done is all over the place, and its an obsession. IMO its not the same as tanning because aint no one there voluntarily getting ultra dark skin lol but becoming pale is a big deal.
Basically, white = beautiful/rich and tan/dark = ugly/poor and thats a damn shame imo
But that's just the culture over there. On the flip side, in America it is more attractive to have tanner skin so you will see white people and Asians out getting tans and making their skin the "perfect" brown.I know it sounds ridiculous but the whitening culture and getting all this work on your face done is all over the place, and its an obsession.

This is what generally what beauty standards Asian girls in Asia go for:
And this is generally what American Asians try to achieve:
It's just different cultures with different beauty standards.
I agree with you that a lot of the stuff is OD like bleaching and wearing full face masks at the beach to avoid their face getting a tan. I just don't think it has much to do with colonization and the white skin beauty standard isn't due to western influence.Living over there, I couldn't dismiss it as beauty standards or just the culture. When you're talking about getting your pits and your booty hole whitened (yes seriously) its past culture and into obsession/wildin out status
sidenote: i love me some brenda song
This is true but the reason is not due to trying to look like white people.
One of the old cultural reasons for this trend is that farmers and manual laborers who worked outside in the sun all day would have darker skin so the lighter skin was seen as a symbol of status. Kind of like how in the middle ages being overweight was seen as a good thing since most people struggled to put food on the table.
would a KPOP thread flourish on NT?
just curious cuz im starting to see a lot of street/urban looking dudes on youtube bumpin/reacting to kpop
It's very disappointing that they still haven't apologized whereas countries like Germany acknowledge the Holocaust and teach it in school
