Why is light skin considered the standard of beauty?
If you look in the media, you will mostly find light skinned black models, light skinned indian models and light skinned asian models. Light skin is considered the standard of beauty in asia, they hate the sun because they want to be as light as possible. And people say crap like dark skin is exotic, if it’s so exotic why arent we being portrayed much in the media. All we have is people like alek wek.
In Asian countries like India, it’s leftover from a class thing: having lighter skin means you’re not "working class" and you don’t stay out labouring in the sun all day.
I’m a white guy, and I love dark skin. However, I don’t deny that many cultures have little appreciation for it. I don’t know why this should be.
