Interesting post.

Even here in The Netherlands it was once a thing for the rich people to stay white. If you had a teint you were probably working outdoor on the land. And now if you are pale they think you are sick.

I personally talked with phillipinas and was amazed how they consider their self dark. And even more amazed how they consider it as a bad thing.

This is also in Suriname, where dark people rather be light then dark. And pale thier skin with bleach. its the world upside down.

peace
