I am asian and when I was younger my brother told me to use whitening soap to lighten my skin. He said I was too dark, that women should have lighter skin tone because it makes them prettier and appealing, which would give them better chances of finding successful careers and a mate. Yes, I grew up in that kind of society. That stuck in my head so I started using different kinds of whitening soaps and creams but they didn't really make any significant changes. Fast forward to when I was 18, my parents let me travel to London as a birthday present. One time, I visited my aunt and some of her British friends were there and kept staring at me while chatting with her. I got self conscious because it seemed like they were talking about my color so I asked my aunt afterwards. Turned out, they were admiring how naturally tanned I was, that I'm lucky I didn't have any freckles, that I won't end up with premature wrinkles because I don't have to sit under the sun for a long time just to get a tan. They also talked to me about it before they went home. I was baffled. So that got me thinking: why do they want to be tanned when they are white and why do we want to be white when we are tanned? I started asking myself more of questions. I am in no way attacking people who want be tan or white. It's your choice. This was just a personal realization that I should not bother about what people back home say about me. Right now, I live somewhere people don't care about skin color so I'm happy.
I think tan is nice I live in the USA and everyone wants a tan I've always been really white and if I go around in the sun I burn. If you want to be a little lighter you can get makeup I think that's the safe way to go about it.
Tan is basically fried skin cells. That's not healthy. You can have a fake tan. Always wear SPF50, wear a hat and stay in the shade between 12 and 4 p.m. in the afternoon (depending on where you are in the world, some hours are hotter later on, etc.). Take care of your skin. It's a barrier to your body. 💓
traveling abroad makes a huge difference in life styles ND the way we think...I was so insecure about my looks but after being UAE for quite some years I feel very confident about myself...I don't give a f abt wat my relatives say but my complexion...everyone is beautiful it's just the beauty standards are different....
I hate that tanning stuff, I don’t get tanned to look pretty or have a summer look. It’s if I’m outside doing sports or in a pool. So people like to tease me for not having a tan, but I care about my skin.
I saw a study done in England and they tested skin whitening creams that they bought at drug stores and almost all of them had dangerous levels of mercury in them. Most were manufactured in China. Mercury was not listed as a ingredient.
There is a popular brand of whitening shampoo for your body is japan called “white conc” and i recently got gifted it, im not sure ill use it since im already light skinned?
@@julix6699 oh ive never used it, maybe it does just brighten skin? Ive seen a few reviews on it and after they’ve used it for about a month their skin gradually gets lighter. Im not so sure… But thanks for confirming!! 💗💗💗
@Jason Weaver Not at Walmart of course, but if you go to asian or african markets there are. I live in Italy, once I went to an indian shop to buy stuff and there were whitening creams. In asian countries they believe whiter=rich=more beautiful.
Yeah they real skin light yellow not white like ghost but they really try so hard honestly they skin look like have alot of lotion/powder, include kpop star. No hate to them
It's always been strange to me that no matter what people's skin color/shade is (and whatever other features they may have), someone is always out there saying they have to change it to be attractive, even when there are people in other cultures who would go to great lengths to mimic their natural look. Paler people want to get darker, and darker people want to get paler. In some cultures it's skin-lightening cream that's used, and in others it's tanning beds -- neither of which are healthy, but many either don't realize the potential consequences or view the health risk as worth it to achieve the "ideal look" that's considered attractive by their peers. It all varies depending upon one's culture, but in reality, all shades are beautiful in their own way and (while you have the right to alter your appearance if it boosts your confidence) it's sad that so many people are made to feel like they *have* to change their appearance to fit in/be seen as desirable/etc. We need more Dr. Youns in the world.
It's all about marketing. Here in asia where most people have darker skin, they taught them that whiter skin is beautiful then offer thousands of whitening products to make money while in western countries where white people live they taught them that tan /dark skin is beautiful then they offer tanning lotions, tanning bed etc and the same reason is to make money. I'm telling you IT'S ALL MARKETING (idk if I suck at explanation)
This was mind blowing to me the first time I understood it. Here we are either tanning ourselves or putting poison on our skin to lighten it just to look good....what are we doing?!
I remember being teased having porcelain skin. Having zero red / pink undertones made my skin seem much more light w/o a tan. I don’t burn, I get quite dark actually but used tanning beds teens - early 20’s now REGRET IT. Ugh 😑 How about whichever one’s tone is = is perfect. Can we just do that?
Yup just live your life the way you do, wear sunscreen when you go outside. A tiger cannot change its stripes why are people so obsessed with changing trivial things about their looks :|
I used to go to church with someone whose son was grey ..eyes, lips, fingernails and his eyes were blue so it was something to see...I asked his Dad why he was that color and his dad who was very old said his mother gave him silver nitrate since he was born and it caused not only the color change but it damaged his brain...his mother was arrested but I have to wonder where his dad was and if he noticed that he was turning grey.
@@khushi_8808 yes, every Sunday!! I just feel bad because after his parents die, I hope nothing bad happens to him as he's not able to take care of himself.
@@-SimonRiley He said his wife was a "holistic" nature type person, who did not believe in modern medicine, so she began giving the little guy nitrate at a very young age. I was too afraid to ask why his dad didn't stop it, especially when he began to turn grey, his son is solely dependent on him and that is scary considering the father is in his 80s.
I'm Australian and I'll never forget the first time I went to Asia, I had to get some sunscreen and I was so shocked that I couldn't find any that was normal, they all had some sort of whitening effect, same with all the moisturisers. I was so disturbed, knowing that in Australia so many white people wanted to be brown and would use fake tan and then in Asia everyone wanted to be white, except they would put bleach on their skin to achieve what they thought of as beauty standards. Its all screwed. Be happy with what you have. Good luck out there.
To be fair, the translation on the creams are incorrect. Apparently a lot of the skin lightening ones are really meant to “brighten” the skin and it got lost in translation
Whew! Finally makes me feel a little better… Somebody actually even a little whiter than I am. Wish people would have thought that was beautiful when I was growing up. Used to be called all kinds of names, so I tried to tan. Bad idea. Now I dress up like a beekeeper whenever I go out because I have probably sustained so much sun damage in the past, and my Dad (who is also a redhead) has skin cancer.😢
I’m sorry to hear that. I am dark skinned and where I am from, people with red hair are seen as so beautiful and striking so it baffles me that people here get picked on for having red hair. Or any hair colour for that matter ❤
Traditionally, white skin was attributed to wealth/high status and applied particularly to women. The best example is ancient Chinese. Being too dark would disqualify you from joining the imperial harem, which was the greatest honor a daughter could achieve for her family. They had to be perfect. They could have no blemishes, no marks, white skin, healthy, etc. There was a LONG list.
yeah it used to be because you’re pale due to not working in the fields. now being tan means you can afford to go on vacation to tropical places and can afford expensive tanning products.
@Kiki Ivanka Shayk His parents were from South Korea, but they moved to the United States and he was born in Michigan. His name is Anthony Youn, the same as his RUclips name. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Youn
I don't know about East Asian, but because of British rule people in South Asia started viewing them as beauty standards, it's been more than half a century but the effect is still there
Being asian there’s always that need or push to be whiter/paler. I’m not that dark compared to my other cousins but my grandma would always say to my cousins that the darker the skin, the sweeter the person and those with lighter/pale skin is bitter in the “taste-wise” sense (we are not cannibals btw). This was always the way to boost the morale of my cousins to know that it’s not bad to be tanner/darker but in between the grandchildren, there’s 2 families that are lighter skinned cause my uncle married to a Chinese lady while my mom’s side is of Chinese decent. So I’d always ask her what about us lighter kids and she always sweats and won’t answer cause she don’t know what to say lmao. She’s not racist, just passing down the word of mouth some elderly had passed down from generations of family.
I'm 1/4 Asian but I'm paler than my 100% "white" friends... I used to hate it and use fake tanner like crazy because I thought I was a freak. I've learned to embrace it but it's a pain in the ass because if you forget to put sunscreen on before you go outside on a sunny day, you're in for a world of hurt. I've gone swimming and 2 days later my back peeled off 😨😭 Being pale is an evolutionary disadvantage and if it wasn't for indoors and sunscreen I'd be burnt to death by now and I'm from the Pacific Northwest US which is cloudier than average 😖
Someone that is too dark is ok naturally but pale people like asian is damaging their healthy because God didn't create asian like that to be pale ,they are possessed e whitness
I am naturally really pale skinned, but this is way too much. It isn't natural either. I'm pale because of my heritage, and I stay out of the sun. It just isn't worth going red in order to revert back to pale a few days later.
Yes beautiful face decor is also beautiful..if we spend more time creating body art and body crafting less time will be spent warring..we should spend more time on body elaboration
I was told when I was younger, that I would be so pretty if I had a tan, I have fair skin.. people are cruel, just believe in yourself and everything will be fine..❤️
Same! I'm also a pale girl routinely told as an impressionable teen that I looked "dead", "sick" and "needed some color". People suck. Pale is pretty. Black is pretty. Brown is pretty. Everything in between is pretty. Just be healthy and love yourself, because no one is quite the same as you!
I'm very pale and was self conscious of it for years, but I've finally come around to really love my fair skin. But my goodness every skintone is just beautiful! Hopefully he can find some self love and acceptance regarding his
Same, I grew up in a very ethnically diverse area and the other kids used to ask me if I was sick 😶 to be fair, I was much lighter than even the other white kids, which is bound to look concerning to someone who hasn’t seen it before, but still 😂
I'm darker than my siblings. We are blasian. People told me growing up that they're more attractive because they have the right colour. But there's no right or wrong colour. Diversity is beautiful!
I was the same way with my dark skin I hated it for my whole life up until adulthood. It’s crazy to think about how light people want to be dark and dark people want to be light, it really just goes to show you that every race suffers from insecurity though
@christiansaravia7865 that's wonderful that you've come to accept your skin! It really is so silly, it's one of those "grass is greener" things that doesn't make sense and doesn't have to be. Just like our faces, our skintone is a combination of all who've come before us, and that alone is so beautiful!
Same! I'm mostly white, but my grandfather is Indigenous. I never inherited his skin tone as my grandmother and father was fully white. It gives me mega identity issues because I want to be involved more with my tribe. But the cultural appropriation police say that as a white person, I'm appropriating my own family and "another" culture. That I'm a colonizer ect. It's very painful because the world constantly tells me I don't belong in indigenous spaces because I look white.
I just wrote the same comment basically and then found yours. I'm a fellow white girl who loves to not be pale and glow under streetlights at night. Too funny.
@@RavenFeathers90 that's to bad. Here in Central Ontario at the reserve by my city we have natives with very light brown/dirty blonde hair and are quite light skinned, who live on the reserve. You would never know they are native but they definately are. You are native and don't let anyone, and I mean anyone, tell you your not.
Thing is in Asia, if you have light skin you're portrayed as pretty, you also get more attention from everyone and higher chances getting job opportunities from specific workplaces. Also men like women who have light skin more than brown skin so women tend to change their skin color just to be liked or loved by their special someone. I hope there comes an era where everybody just have a "fuck everybody's opinion, i love-myself" mentality.
And the funny thing , in the west and evrrywhere else white people tan some, year long to get darker and darker because it is perceived as sexy. I agree. Darker skin is sexy!(comin from a white girl who needs 100x to go to the beach to get a decent tan.
Ik! But here in Europe we do whatever it takes to have that Brown ish Colour!(someone even risks theyr life) it is SOME people here that quite dont like other people than them selfes...but As an Half Asian i dont feel an Shame having my colour. Everyone is beatiful
I'm asian and I have draker skin compared to my family members. One day my mom told me that my skin becomes darker and darker because I play with my friends outside too often. Later on I no longer enjoy playing outside and meeting friends and always be in my room. That's the origin story how I become more introvert and socially awkward. It's cruel actually to think that a judgement people put on you because you have a certain skin tone shapes your personality.
When I was kid I am really extrovert love to go outside play with friends etc but now I am 16 and I hate going outside and love to be with me and now I can call myself introvert. I don't know which one is good introvert or extrovert
@@自殺-w9m that's totally fine! Introvert and extrovert is about how you charge your energy! Introverts gain mental energy just by themselves or with a small group. Extroverts in another hand, they get more energy if they spend more time with people or in a larger group. Each type has their own uniqueness and all I can say is neither is better nor worse. it just depends on the personality they have in general. :>
lol same. i enjoyed hanging out with my friends but my parents wont let me (since they're too strict) so i just stayed inside my room. now i enjoyed inside the room more than going outside. i would even lie to my friends that my parents wont let me go out even though i didnt ask for permission. now, my parents are always asking me to go out and sometimes gets angry since i wont go outside. they would force me that i should change my attitude/mindset whatever and go interact with people.
@@k.m.6449 I've never scene anyone get mad over someone tanning their skin to become darker. Whenever somebody lightens their skin they get mad so it it is true.
Both are beautiful. I've always loved the African tribes where their skin is so dark they're blue and I love the paleness of people like some of those in Scotland
In Thailand, having lighter skin meant you were born and raised in the city (from my area and by my family's word). It meant you never had to work a day in your life out in the fields and of course, it relates to western beauty of having a lighter skin, even though Thai skin can range from really dark to a light colour (but not pale white, if that makes sense). It's still an ongoing belief and I hope it would change because they still advertise skin whitening cream (although I am guilty of trying some skin whitening deodorant because I'm quite self-conscious(?) about my dark armpits). But then beauty has always been a big thing to the point where surgery is advertised on big billboards, so idk. On the bright side, my dad always thought it was funny how some Thai people want white skin and some white people want tanned skin.
Not even western standard of beauty, maybe if you were talking 2 hundred years ago but now a days having a tan means you have money to take vacations to the tropics. It's more a beauty standard in Asia because it means you have money and stay inside all day.
My dad says that too. He used to get bullied for his pale skin and was so confused when skin lightening creams was advertised after coming to Thailand.
Even in Africa, especially in the West countries, they are addicted to whitening their skin. I have seen many before and after pictures and they are horrific. Not horrific in the sense of like scary, but just that someone was once a gorgeous shade of chocolate and are now near being a white persons coloring. It's disturbing. One thing that really led me to loving my brown shade was going back to Ke ya and seeing a sea of gorgeous shades of brown. There was even a man who was black. Like actually black coloring and he was gorgeous. Flawless skin and beautiful straight white teeth. Very statuesque too. Came back to the USA loving my skin color. Though I still was bullied for my appearance.
I think you look beautiful and have gorgeous skin. Overall I think that your very beautiful. And I'm not this pale....lol just hours of makeup and prepping for going to Great Adventure with my daughter around fright fest before COVID had hit. Lol But I hope that your leaving the negative ppl around you out of your life. Unless their just racist bigots. They need to just go and let Karma get them the worst. God doesn't love ppl who hate and are bigoted. My momma would have whooped my life away if I was to ever dare to say or do something racist. That was a huge no no in the house growing up and I always thanked her for raising me and my siblings that way. I took what she did with me and my 4 other siblings and I have been raising my daughter to know no difference between anyone who has darker/or lighter skin ect. She doesn't see anything different from herself and her friends, classmates, and anyone in this world. And I still now look up to the sky and thank my mom for bringing me up to respect ppl and treat others how we'd want to be treated bc it molded me into the woman and mom I am today. My daughter is my world and I love that she's growing up to be a respectable young lady and almost a teen. Sorry for my novel that I wrote. I hope that your not upset about how long it is. I don't write much bc I tend to do this. Have a lovely evening.xoxo much Love 💕 and May God bless you and your family as well...
East Africa also has many bleach users but they seem to be more accepting of rich darker skin, especially in Kenya!! I honestly felt so damn beautiful when I was living there!! I hope we eradicate that belief that light skin is better, it seriously isn’t!! All shades are equally beautiful❤️
YOU ARE SOOOO BEAUTIFUL MY SISTER😍😍 like seriously so drop dead gorgeous wooowwww!!! stay beautiful love, if you ain’t got haters you ain’t popping!!❤️❤️
Remember: As long as you're healthy, you are always beautiful (Doesn't mean ur ugly if ur sick, it just means beauty doesn't mean you have to change everything, and fight through the pain to be a typical pretty person)
@@TigerFucker they would not be able to see the beauty of anything they have/anyone they know. That's why they rely on touch or asking other people what someone/something looks like.
I was just doing makeup on this girl who's got this beautiful golden olive skin, chocolate brown eyes, and thick dark black hair. I told her she was what I always wanted to look like when I was young because tan was the beauty standard (I'm in the us, she's Italian). She looked surprised and said I was what she wanted to look like (pale, green eyes, blond hair). The grass really looks greener, y'all, but sometimes it's an illusion. Just be the best you, that's the best solution.
You guys don’t realize how racist these comments are in themselves, fetishizing tan skin and Asian people. Yeah, people of color get obsessed with bleaching skin took freakish because of white supremacy still being a pervasive part of life in former colonized nations. It just filters over to mainland and shit because it becomes a trend
As a black person, I have been told many many times I should lighten my skin because black skin is “ugly” and “stupid” but I will never in my life lighten my skin. I have natural dark skin when people spend money to have it😌💅🏾
Same here I was always to not to play out outside I would get darker and nobody want a dark girl now I have three children one is my chocolate and caramel baby one is my milk and honey and one is my toffee coffee baby ( yes same father yes all from me) and all of their skin is beautiful and have their own special care but I sadly we have had to put some people in their place when talking about our oldest skin in a negative way we shut that ish down quick
That's aweful! I'm sorry to hear that. I live in Australia and a large amount of people here ( women especially) like to tan in the sun for hours or routinely spend heaps of money on bronzers and spray tans to make their skin appear darker because we are often told that pale skin makes you look sick and vitimin D deprived
@@SuicideRedemption yes!!!but we are talking about the majority here. The system standard is white skin and if you are white you have some privilege that darker skin don’t have miss Elizabeth so don’t come for us who have darker skin please!! and don’t try to act like you have been persecuted all your life because your white or whatever. Please stop the B.S
You always want what is different. Like in the US everyone thinks blonde hair is most attractive. In Iceland I read everyone there wants to be brunette because they are all natural blonde
Its the cultures. Tanning used to mean you worked all day in the sun. Now in the west, it means you have free time to just sit around in the sun/ can afford to tan. In the west being pale means you likely don't get to be outside as much as you should be. In many places though, (especially very hot sunny places) paler skin is still a beauty standard, for those earlier reasons. We can still see this is some of our oldest fables, like certain princesses being described as "pale as snow" to drive in that they are a princess, they sit up in their castle out of the sun doing royal shi
Dark skin is absolutely beautiful, I feel so bad for Asian kids being shamed into whitening treatments for their natural skin color. We're all beautiful in our own right, the only ugly thing is racism 🇮🇹❤️
@I dont care That's awesome and all, but nowadays in many Asian countries darker skin is shunned in favour of lighter skin, which is still incredibly racist. Even if that WASN'T the case, it's still hurtful to young Asian kids and it's important that in the 21st century we embrace all skin types and colours equally.
You get shamed by the elders especially if you're dark dark, in Philippines the lighter the skin the prettier you are, they will call you "mestizo" or "mestiza". And yeah it is on their culture as in their pre colonial times it is a common perspective.
@@nadonado648 so true I was shamed by my relatives for having dark skin they have the light skin from lolo Spanish decent and my sister pretty much got all of the quality light skin long sharp nose while I get poke fun of for having dark skin and small nose telling me I don't belong in the fam bc I'm different 🤷♀️
They're not so much 'shamed' into it than it's a beauty standard that's many hundreds of years old. I went to school with a girl from northern China and she was SO pale (naturally) her skin was translucent, you could see her veins through her skin. That's what other Asians typically strive towards (I'm the other way, I used to solarium every other day, I was addicted). People like to blame western beauty standards but I'm like you have no idea, they had this ideal waaaay before exposed to western beauty propaganda.
I'm happy with myself. I don't even worry about my brown skin, but I hate it when my sister and her daughter make fun of me just because they have light skin. Every chance they get, they try to make me feel bad. It's irritating. That's why I rarely visit them anymore.
The most beautiful young woman I know has a South American dad and English mom. The daughter rocks a honey tan all year long. In winter, she has a deeper skin tone than the physician on this short. I have to work for a tan like that and envy her not having to go in the sun to look healthy and glowing here in Florida. When she does, she looks South American. Naturally darker skin ages more gracefully. You’ll have the last laugh at your abusive relatives. Surround yourself with family of your own making who love and appreciate you. 😉 “we can’t choose our family but we can choose our friends,” and those friends become family over the decades.
Sounds like they make fun of your skin tone out of jealousy. I'm betting you are more gorgeous then they are, obviously on the inside and outside both. Good on you keeping that toxic mess out of your life.
I spent most of my life being jealous of anyone with any kind of color to their skin because I am so pale. I even tried to tan, but I just go from pale to red. Then I find that light skin is preferable in Asian society. I think I was born in the wrong part of the world 🤣
As an Asian, I have tan skin but wanted to be lighter. But now I'm like "this is me", I don't have to change who I am for others to appreciate or like me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So true but how do you get rid of old, ingrained attitudes towards skin that is any other than pearly white and pasty. I've tried talking to some of these people but they refuse to listen... And are just stuck in their own little world... Sigh....
Yeah, especially since a large portion of several countries history is rooted in class systems. For many upper class people an obvious show of wealth back in the day is demonstrating your pallor. Being pale meant you were not the poor or working class who worked hard labor, often outdoors.
I don't find this to be true. I'm so tired of hearing I look like I'm sick or dead because I'm so pale. I'm very tan in my picture because I apply sunless tanner like a fiend during the summer months. Up until recently I was very insecure about my pale skin.
I’m black and love tanning ! Ugh I used to hate being so dark bc I don’t even have a chance at becoming significantly lighter and jealous of other races…sad I love my skin now! And will tan and get darker! I also find other skin tones beautiful each person looks beautiful w/ their natural skintone
@@Sleepdeprivedthinking They might just mean they are comfortable getting darker tanning is extremely easy when you have melanin. The term tanning doesn’t only refer to the unhealthy way of darkening one’s skin through tanning booths or spending hours in the sun. I’m also black and I just need to be outside for 15 minutes and my skin will become two shades darker. Maybe they mean they are happy with their natural tan ?
@@intuitivetasha113 - there is no safe way to lighten skin that does not have long term effects. Also it is difficult to lighten the whole face and body unless you use IV treatments. And if you have children they will most likely inherit your skin tone.
@@Sleepdeprivedthinking so she can’t go walk outside in the sun then? If you are able to get dark then there is little to no risk from sun exposure. I think it’s time we stop demonizing the sun , the sun also has major benefits like providing 25,000 IU of vitamin D which is vital for our immune systems and ability to combat illness
I’m not sure if this will help, but producing melanin is such a beautiful thing in evolution. Nearly all people have it and no matter the skin tone, it shares a story thousands (if not millions) of years in the making
For sure. I envy those who can go in the sun for 1/2 hour and not get burnt, being pale is annoying AF and even in a majority white city in there northern US I stick out like a sore thumb.
@@duuuud9364 stop projecting your weird feelings onto this comment, there’s nothing “pathetic” about it, and it is definitely not condoning changing your skin color to fit a beauty standard in any way. I understand what you’re saying, but explaining that melanin is natural and beautiful is not the same as saying that having it makes you better than anyone else. There is no obsession here. Take your negativity elsewhere please ☺️
Melanin is produced in response to skin damage and irritation... Let's not go overboard and romanticize melanin to be some beautiful thing when it causes hyperpigmentation and discoloration and appears after in response to DNA damage to the skin and is a precursor to cancer.
Growing up in Mexico was quite difficult, due to the strong colorism there is. When I was a child I used to be a little darker than i am today (I didn’t do anything to lighten my skin, it just happened). Some kids at my school would make fun of me saying that I look like an “Indian” or “indigenous person” - i used to feel bad about it, cause even though i knew there’s nothing wrong with that, those comments made me feel ugly -. There was a time in a family reunion that my grandma and aunt said to each other: “she would have been prettier if she was a little lighter” (I’m sure that if my parents were there, they’d have do/said something about it, but they weren’t) In Mexico people glorify white or light skin as if it was better, unfortunately it’s become part of the culture; you can call someone black or Indian (as an insult) and get away with it. I’m glad that younger generations are starting to be more empathic and respectful and also breaking the racist (yes, there’s a lot of racism in Mexico) and colorist connotations that old people have created.
It’s so sad how people are assigned value based on their color. We do it unconsciously too. My husband is from Mexico and he has told me how much he hates his thick black hair, brown eyes and work tanned skin. I have heard him and his friends throw around playful insults about each other’s color because it’s just such a normalized part of their culture. (For the record I’m not saying it’s wrong to tease in your circle of friends, just acknowledging it feeds the idea that dark is bad). I grew up in a poor white community so my “mud” brown hair, light eyes, and pale skin was seen as common and ugly. It’s funny how he sees my “muddy” (light brown) hair, gray eyes, and very fair skin as super attentive and I see his dark hair, eyes, and skin as attractive. I guess everyone wants what they don’t have.
My experience living in San Antonio is the opposite I'm Hispanic and I've always been fair skinned and would get made fun of or picked on for being lighter and pale. People would use "white girl" as an insult. I never felt bad though because I liked being pale, I loved myself and I have always had good self esteem and never worried about what anyone said.
I will never understand the hate towards darker skin. I’m whiter than everyone else in my big familia. My legs are not that far from being transparent lol. Sometimes before I’ve felt not part of Mexico. I would get made fun of for being pale. They’re different skin tones over there just like everywhere else. What came 1st? Darker skin no? Indios with their beautiful tan skin. Same with India. It just takes us further apart from ourselves. Where we came from. Our culture. All I know is that I am Mexican 🇲🇽and proud. Not born there, but connected.
Yes. Just yes. In fact, currently in the Hispanic community (mostly Mexican) there are sayings or memes against people with dark skin, calling them humble colored people, cardboard colored people, door colored people, people with a tin roof, etc. Racism and especially colorism is strong, and the majority who make such comments are only self-conscious people who have not left the colonial mentality.
Brown skin is beautiful, white skin is beautiful, yellow skin is beautiful and black skin is beautiful. All are made in the image of God and all are beautiful, not just brown skin.
@@SweetTea-Stephens Not pulling anyone down. Just addressing the asian community where having fair skin is considered prestigious while dark skin is looked down upon. For this reason many girls take whitening pills, injections and use harmful steroid based creams. #AllSkinsAreBeautiful.✨❤❤

Then there's us brown south asians bleaching our skin to fit into the standards 😀 (still not as much common as tanning but yeah people do edit their photos 2-3 shades lighter just to fit into the standards)
I tried to love myself. But, every time I do, at least I got a comment from other people, neither about my skin tone or my body. "You should buy some whitening lotion for your skin, then maybe a guy finally notice you" "You look like a walking black bone" "You should smile more, your facial expressions make other people uncomfortable" "You should talk more about something else than Anime or Movie, or a guy will be never come close to you because of your weirdness keep them running away from you" "You know, if you don't lighten up your skin tone in 5 years, you will never be able to get married" I'm so sick of this comment. I know I am already in my twenties and should have been or already been in a relationship. But, every time I tried to have a serious connection with a guy, it always ended up one-sided. Neither the guy tried hitting on me, only to get my beautiful best friend attention or The guys said he rejected me but will consider a relationship with me if I lighten up my skin tone and drop all of my weird hobbies.
I saw a video on your channel, probably the girl it's you. You're beautiful, really. I don't know how works in your country, but for us you're amazing. It's sad when the people use excuse of "historical beauty" to approve discrimination. The same fight to love ourselves should be for all the world. Take care and keep going with your art, it will save u ♡♡♡
Please, remember - you are enough, just the way you are. No one and I mean No One is perfect & that's what makes people so wonderfully unique! You are still young & have so much to learn and experience and enjoy.. And once you do you will have so much more to talk about with people including men that you will attract that certain person at that certain point in time and everything will fall into place. Not because you want it to happen because it's ready to happen. And you will not have to give up anything you don't want to give up for the other person because you are enough the way you are. Stay Strong and live each day as an adventure!
Enjoy whatever hobbies you like. The right person will notice you . No one should expect you to lighten your skin or become a whole different person to be with them. All your quirks make you you. ❤️
Your skin is beautiful no matter what shade it is. As someone with extremely light and sunburn-prone skin, I was ashamed of not being darker for a long time because I was always made to feel bad about it, and on the flip side of the coin, dark-skinned people are made to feel bad about their skin being too dark. Either way, you can't win, so might as well love what you've been given.
White-hate is vogue now. It's pretty disgusting. Take everything he's saying and put the polar opposite twist and see how racist it suddenly sounds. Because it is. There is NOTHING wrong with being white and people who choose to be that way have EVERY right to do so. I find bright to be beautiful myself and I'm a dark guy. When will people understand that it's "the man that makes the suit". And no I'm not going to explain that to anyone, its self evident.
@@jasoncarto He literally never even said anything about race. Skin color =/= race, you know damn well darker Asians are perceived worse than light Asians, for example, and they're the same race. You're the type to say to him "stop bringing race into everything and stop reverse racism!!!" but you're the one bringing race into it. I hope you're purposefully dense. Have white skinned people ever been oppressed? No. Have they ever been called subhuman and all sorts of slurs for their skin tone? No, but darker skinned people have.
@@synkronized wow. You made the argument that racism has nothing to do with skin color when that is what people cite when they mean racism. Why don't you preach that elsewhere. I bet you won't, you're a coward afterall.
I love my light skin, but that's more about embracing myself and my natural skin. Im the palest in my family and they keep trying to push me to get a tan, going so far as to even gift me self tanning products :/ I find it sad that we keep pushing people to change their skintone, for people with darker skintones society expects them to lighten it, and for people with light skin we're expected to tan it. I wish there was more focus on just embracing yourself and your natural beauty, light, dark, or something in between, doesn't matter, you're beautiful the way you were born.
I hate fake tan, & I am one of the palest ppl in the world. You hv to be comfortable with yourself, & frankly, I look silly with fake tan, it looks weird; I hv v deep red hair, which makes my pale skin glow, & hv learned not to listen, to what "some ppl" say, hope you do too. Maybe your family gave you those though bc you had mentioned ppl saying things - they just want you to be happy most likely🙏💜
Omg same my family is overall white my sister is blonde or light brownish and im totally blonde and very white and my family keeps telling me to go outside get color more and my uncle got so far to call me "a sheep" because of my light hair and skin,im like 👁👄👁 is it my fault?
I don't get where this bullshit came from. There isnt a beautiful "skin colour", and these people are some ignorant pieces of shits for thinking shit like that. Beauty of skin depends on texture and how healthy the skin is, to care about the colour is some what reinforcing racism even if it's not meant that way
Glutathione isn’t bad for the body, in fact it’s a treatment for some people with certain illnesses. However, you don’t need to over do it unless as the professional stated you want to lighten your skin which is very unnecessary.
Yh it's used for illness, don't you think healthy people consuming this will cause harm to themselves, and not enough studies are conducted yet , we don't know what it'll really cause to our body
As an Asian there's always been an expectation to be paler. I'm a way darker than most of my family and get darker when I tan. Alot of people said I looked Mexican and some people pitied me whenever they talked to my parents or even subtly insult me when they were only around me, expecting me not to understand. My relatives and parents would always say how disappointing it was that I turned out so dark. As a kid I ended up being insecure about my skin and even started searching up lighting products for the future so that in the future my family could stop saying I was ugly or stupid and so I could feel good about my body for once. I couldn't help that I was dark. Considering I still have a hard time learning my family's native language that furthers my isolation from my family. I wish there wasn't such expectations for lighter skin sometimes.
Honestly tho super super super super light skin makes you look ghost like and dead. Darker or tan skin is more beautiful by a lot. Idk why they think it’s attractive to be white as paper.
@@makenziebrown3649 that’s part of the aesthetic. ‘S why I (as a white person) like my light skin, it contrasts well with the black I love to wear, makes me look ghostly. There are complimentary colors and styles for every skin color, it’s just about people finding what makes them happy!
I'm Indian and all my life I had been bullied for my brown skin. I did my graduation in biology just because I wanted to know why people are dark skinned to change it to light skin 😂 but thankfully when I studied the benifits of melanin protein I give up the idea of light skin. I'm happy with my naturally brown skin. I don't care what people say. I'm strong enough to support the truth 😂😊😊❤❤❤🎉
I could see using the IV if you had dark skin in India & were trying to get a decent job, as unfortunately their caste system doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon. That cream though... Turns skin paper-thin. Light-skinned ppl wanting to tan darker, darker skinned ppl wanting to be lighter. Hair dyes in every shade nature ever created and many more. Skinny women trendy one year, big bottomed the next. Nothing wrong with a bit of Botox, nose job, or tummy tuck, but wish ppl would focus on being healthy physically & mentally & LOVE THEMSELVES.
@@monniej58 it's nothing like that😑 my father is dark skinned n he has a perfect job.. Appx all the scientists in India are from south and are dark coloured... These are myths that they do not get job.. N it is a wrong info.. Donno how people take name of a whole country to represent the words which only they said.
I wish i could make people see this: that no matter what their skin color is they are beautiful and should be proudly celebrating it as a birth-right and heritage. Changing it is like being ashamed of yourself, your parents, your culture, your race and your very humanity. The fact you are alive is amazing! Love yourself♡
Love this!!! In my culture, the whiter you are, the prettier you are. And the better husband you can get then. A childhood close friend is rather dark and a bit overweight , but her facial features are beautiful (besides being such a great person overall); while another childhood “friend” is very fair, yet she’s no “stunning beauty”…physically or behaviorally. In fact, she’s a mean, stuck up brat with RBF. Yet she’s well known within our community (all across America) as one of the most beautiful. The darker friend got married at 27 and has 2 kids, while the other one, in her 40s, is still looking for Prince Charming. It’s sad bc she was led to believe that her fair skin makes her worthy of getting the “perfect” man (if that even exists). I’ve asked her directly what makes her deserve such a great husband and none of us don’t (I’m considered to be on the fairer side in my community and married at 25, with 3 kids). She flat out says that everyone says to her that her fairness will attract handsome men with higher educations and careers (aka “doctors”). I can’t believe SHE hasn’t figured out by now that it’s not true. She’s in her 40s!! Is she truly this blind and dumb??!! I think that’s worse than elders telling her since she was 15 how her “milky white skin will give her all the happiness in the world”. Uh, even those ladies have shut up now since they can at least now see how wrong they were. Thank God my generation and even younger don’t care about skin color at all!! Btw…I have 3 sons who all have different colors/shades of skin. I’ve been asked by elders if my “darkest” son ever feels bad or inferior. Good Lord!!! I’ve never thought that so he definitely doesn’t think that way and has probably never even thought of that. As a mother, now I know how horrible it must have felt to have a child, especially a daughter, who was darker. You’d feel sick to your stomach that people look at your child like that and then feel pressured to make your child “whiter”.
Same.. I'm native American and very light skinned. I used to get picked on growing up on the reservation. And I would try to tan in the sun but it was hurting my skin.. so I stopped trying and began to love my skin and tell my bullies to fuck off lol
Its true. Here in asia we don’t like tanned skin we use a lot of whitening products. At first i cannot believe that most Americans wants to achieve a tan skin
I love my white skin my husband black skin our childrens brown skin all skin is beautiful no matter how light and dark it's just beautiful as we are all created in God's image ❣️
Yeah, I was self conscious about my skin color too growing up. I'm Asian and I grew up with people telling young girls that those only with lighter skin are beautiful so there are a bunch of whitening products here (even in the media). But luckily as I grew up, I learned to love myself and became happy with my own skin color.
Ok all skin colours are beautiful whether your super pale,super dark anything in between or anything different it doesn’t matter what colour your skin is because we are all people and all deserve respect
Not all people deserve respect just for having one feature, but I understand what you trying to say, you mean this right?: "not all people deserve respect for being different but not a single person deserves hate for just one feature"
Honestly, this is the first time I’ve heard of whiter/lighter skin is more beautiful. And reading the comments, I’m shocked it’s such a thing. I grew up where it was a competition to see who could get the darkest from tanning (natural or not). My sister (who is borderline albino) was bullied relentlessly because she couldn’t tan. I was bullied because I wasn’t tan enough. I was too pale to be considered beautiful. Even as an adult, I’m picked on occasionally by family and friends because I’m pale and live in the south now. 🤷♀️
It's the opposite in asian countries.. You can think about England or France from say 1800s... Half of Asia was colonized and developed the mindset that white were superior and the other half just had it in the culture as being pale meant you didn't work outside, hence higher in class or of "noble" birth..
my skin is very very fair, to this day I'm criticised over it. why don't I get a tan/spray tan 😒 I've even been asked if I'm wearing white foundation all over my body, you can never win!
I get that, my mom was always making fun of me for being so pale. “You are so pale, you need to get in the sun”. Etc. She’s dark olive with black hair, like her father. I have red hair and pale skin. My sister once had me convinced I was adopted. 😄 Both of my parents have black hair color & olive skin, with redhead genes in both families.
She should know that you can't tan, you're skin type 1 so you will only burn unless it's SprayTan but it's so nasty when parents jokingly mock kids and don't think it makes em self conscious.
I’m decently Irish and while I may burn to a crisp in the sun, at least I’ve been able to just use white eyeshadow instead of normal powder in winter when I ran out of the latter 😂 I’m still bitter at how easily I burn in the sun. Can’t believe that I’ve gotten second degree burns after only reapplying 50 spf sunscreen once at the beach. I wish that was a joke 💀💀 The closest I’ve been to a tan is getting some freckles, which are nice!
Every skin color is beautiful and we shouldn't feel the need to change it. Unfortunately it's an issue that persists in many places. I'm light skinned considering my country and when I got tanned staying out in the sun, I had to hear things like "you used to look better before. Your face is so dark now!" This concerned me because this is what many people think about those who are dark skinned and I would've had to face this if I was darker. People have to change the mentality that only a certain skin color is beautiful. It breaks people's confidence and makes them insecure when they have absolutely no need to be. To anybody reading this- You are beautiful! Stay happy and love yourself
I love brown skin. Beautiful. White - needs tanning booth Brown-needs lightening cream Curly hair--needs relaxer Straight hair-needs waves Big girl-- needs diet Skinny girl-- needs bbl Let’s all just be happy with what we have so that the only people not happy are then those raking in $$$ from the beauty industry.
its but we cant do anything about just like how in America there is a different beauty standard if asians like pale skins thats their preference and how in america white girls literally tan so much they turn orange .
@@piercedh34rt9 I mean, I just don’t let it bother me. And I think as long as my attitude and confidence isn’t affected by their preferences, then maybe little changes can occur. Or not, shouldn’t matter because the only thing you can change is your attitude, not others (speaking as a “tan” Korean American who gets called “dark” when I visit SK).
Tanning and whitening skin are both silly. I finally accepted I'm very pale, it won't change and that's FINE. Some people still comment on my skin, especially if I went on vacation and didn't come back with a tan. Oh well, embrace yourself!!
Me being tan (tbh I'm brown with a lighter shade. I have that yellowish-brown skin) who gets even more darker in summers (Imao). Still here we show off those who have white skin & are good looking. Fair skin is the beauty standard here. I remember being placed on the back consecutively for years in my school (I took part in dance competition since as young as I was 7 or 8 till I was in 8th grade). The reason they gave me was "I'm tall so if I'm in the front people can't see the others at the back" while they would cast other good looking tall & pale girls 😀 Anyways Idc now I'm over with school anyways but this part of my school did left a negative impression on me
@@kdjoshi726 that’s funny because I was pale and tall and always in the back of all photos at school. In my experience people like “normal white” skin, not ultra pale like me. I reflect the sun 😂 and people looooove to comment on it. I wish we could embrace all colours.
People should know that some of us naturally pale caucasian folks wish we had that glowy tanned look! I used to use bronzer all the time for a fake tan!
It has nothing to do with Caucasians. Asians often become pale when they stay indoors and tan when they work under the sun. However, some people choose to bleach their skin because in some Asian cultures, pale skin is associated with wealth and privilege. This preference for pale skin can be attributed to classism, which values the appearance of wealth and status. It is important to recognize that this phenomenon is not caused by an obsession with the West, but rather by cultural beliefs that have existed in many Asian societies for centuries.
They dont care. They would rather look grayish and dead like the guy in the video. A asian youtuber had a photo with her kids and in one of the photo, the filrer was so strong its look like they took a picture with her corpse. Even pale skinned white people skin tone isnt enough for them. They want to look like ghouls. At least, people who tan still look human even if I don't agree with it either. For people who hate the 4sians are aliens stereotypes, their beauty standard make them look like ones.
Doc can i ask a question which whitening soap is more effective skin white whitening soap or kojie son whitening soap im just asking i alr have fair skin
I’m not a huge fan of the “corpse dipped in baby powder” look. It just doesn’t do it for me. Idk why🤔 In all seriousness though the nicest looking skin is healthy skin, dark, medium, or light.
Yup. Knew a girl that had beautiful dark brown skin-just had this depth/richness to it (hard to explain sorry). She used lightening cream for a while, and it just didn't look as healthy. Maybe it was dryer or something, idk... Found out it makes skin paper thin, and if you spend even a short time in the sun it just tans back.
This message needs to be heard constantly and this doctor always nails it. Fairer & darker skin are =. No DIFFERENCE in beauty. And....its the % of melanin that makes the difference. Biology. No one can change that. Be proud if who u are.
Yeh damn. I'm Asian , and my skin is very fair, I'm the only one in my family with fair skin, my mother tends to joke around and says " I look like your personal maid" it's quite sad that in Asia , the fairer you are the more pretty or handsome you are in their minds.
😢Dang! Your mom feels so ugly in the skin God gave her that she puts herself down as a low wage worker or slave!!! The trauma… what’s going on in Asia??? OMG!!!

@@Nyla_maybe you should tell him that. You know, the one using the bleaching cream.
I am asian and when I was younger my brother told me to use whitening soap to lighten my skin. He said I was too dark, that women should have lighter skin tone because it makes them prettier and appealing, which would give them better chances of finding successful careers and a mate. Yes, I grew up in that kind of society. That stuck in my head so I started using different kinds of whitening soaps and creams but they didn't really make any significant changes.
Fast forward to when I was 18, my parents let me travel to London as a birthday present. One time, I visited my aunt and some of her British friends were there and kept staring at me while chatting with her. I got self conscious because it seemed like they were talking about my color so I asked my aunt afterwards. Turned out, they were admiring how naturally tanned I was, that I'm lucky I didn't have any freckles, that I won't end up with premature wrinkles because I don't have to sit under the sun for a long time just to get a tan. They also talked to me about it before they went home. I was baffled.
So that got me thinking: why do they want to be tanned when they are white and why do we want to be white when we are tanned? I started asking myself more of questions.
I am in no way attacking people who want be tan or white. It's your choice. This was just a personal realization that I should not bother about what people back home say about me. Right now, I live somewhere people don't care about skin color so I'm happy.
I think tan is nice I live in the USA and everyone wants a tan I've always been really white and if I go around in the sun I burn. If you want to be a little lighter you can get makeup I think that's the safe way to go about it.
Tan is basically fried skin cells. That's not healthy. You can have a fake tan. Always wear SPF50, wear a hat and stay in the shade between 12 and 4 p.m. in the afternoon (depending on where you are in the world, some hours are hotter later on, etc.). Take care of your skin. It's a barrier to your body. 💓
I'm so glad to hear that you get over this misleading of society . Every skin is so precious and special on their own ❤️
traveling abroad makes a huge difference in life styles ND the way we think...I was so insecure about my looks but after being UAE for quite some years I feel very confident about myself...I don't give a f abt wat my relatives say but my complexion...everyone is beautiful it's just the beauty standards are different....

It's always been strange to me that no matter what people's skin color/shade is (and whatever other features they may have), someone is always out there saying they have to change it to be attractive, even when there are people in other cultures who would go to great lengths to mimic their natural look.
Paler people want to get darker, and darker people want to get paler. In some cultures it's skin-lightening cream that's used, and in others it's tanning beds -- neither of which are healthy, but many either don't realize the potential consequences or view the health risk as worth it to achieve the "ideal look" that's considered attractive by their peers. It all varies depending upon one's culture, but in reality, all shades are beautiful in their own way and (while you have the right to alter your appearance if it boosts your confidence) it's sad that so many people are made to feel like they *have* to change their appearance to fit in/be seen as desirable/etc.
We need more Dr. Youns in the world.

It's all about marketing. Here in asia where most people have darker skin, they taught them that whiter skin is beautiful then offer thousands of whitening products to make money while in western countries where white people live they taught them that tan /dark skin is beautiful then they offer tanning lotions, tanning bed etc and the same reason is to make money. I'm telling you IT'S ALL MARKETING

I was so disturbed, knowing that in Australia so many white people wanted to be brown and would use fake tan and then in Asia everyone wanted to be white, except they would put bleach on their skin to achieve what they thought of as beauty standards.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that he'll be OK and a smooth recovery.❤
I’m sorry to hear that. I am dark skinned and where I am from, people with red hair are seen as so beautiful and striking so it baffles me that people here get picked on for having red hair. Or any hair colour for that matter ❤
Traditionally, white skin was attributed to wealth/high status and applied particularly to women.
The best example is ancient Chinese. Being too dark would disqualify you from joining the imperial harem, which was the greatest honor a daughter could achieve for her family. They had to be perfect. They could have no blemishes, no marks, white skin, healthy, etc. There was a LONG list.
yeah it used to be because you’re pale due to not working in the fields. now being tan means you can afford to go on vacation to tropical places and can afford expensive tanning products.

I don't know about East Asian, but because of British rule people in South Asia started viewing them as beauty standards, it's been more than half a century but the effect is still there
@@spicybiryani2617 us here in the Philppines its from Spanish colonization. Being white is viewed as pretty and coming from a wealthy family.
Being asian there’s always that need or push to be whiter/paler. I’m not that dark compared to my other cousins but my grandma would always say to my cousins that the darker the skin, the sweeter the person and those with lighter/pale skin is bitter in the “taste-wise” sense (we are not cannibals btw). This was always the way to boost the morale of my cousins to know that it’s not bad to be tanner/darker but in between the grandchildren, there’s 2 families that are lighter skinned cause my uncle married to a Chinese lady while my mom’s side is of Chinese decent. So I’d always ask her what about us lighter kids and she always sweats and won’t answer cause she don’t know what to say lmao. She’s not racist, just passing down the word of mouth some elderly had passed down from generations of family.
I like how you said : we are not cannibals 😂

I'm 1/4 Asian but I'm paler than my 100% "white" friends... I used to hate it and use fake tanner like crazy because I thought I was a freak. I've learned to embrace it but it's a pain in the ass because if you forget to put sunscreen on before you go outside on a sunny day, you're in for a world of hurt. I've gone swimming and 2 days later my back peeled off 😨😭 Being pale is an evolutionary disadvantage and if it wasn't for indoors and sunscreen I'd be burnt to death by now and I'm from the Pacific Northwest US which is cloudier than average 😖

Someone that is too dark is ok naturally but pale people like asian is damaging their healthy because God didn't create asian like that to be pale ,they are possessed e whitness
I am naturally really pale skinned, but this is way too much. It isn't natural either. I'm pale because of my heritage, and I stay out of the sun. It just isn't worth going red in order to revert back to pale a few days later.
Yes beautiful face decor is also beautiful..if we spend more time creating body art and body crafting less time will be spent warring..we should spend more time on body elaboration
@@hayleygolding4187 keep staying out of the sun. Tanning culture need to stop. Tanning isn't healthy
I was told when I was younger, that I would be so pretty if I had a tan, I have fair skin.. people are cruel, just believe in yourself and everything will be fine..❤️
How your skin looks can also change depending on the lighting!
I was told the opposite growing up that if I had light skin I would be prettier
lol. In the philippines, you will be constantly told that you will be pretty if you have lighter skin
Same! I'm also a pale girl routinely told as an impressionable teen that I looked "dead", "sick" and "needed some color". People suck. Pale is pretty. Black is pretty. Brown is pretty. Everything in between is pretty. Just be healthy and love yourself, because no one is quite the same as you!
Was just thinking that. I was never dark enough. But now that I’m older, I’m glad I didn’t tan.
I'm very pale and was self conscious of it for years, but I've finally come around to really love my fair skin. But my goodness every skintone is just beautiful! Hopefully he can find some self love and acceptance regarding his
Same, I grew up in a very ethnically diverse area and the other kids used to ask me if I was sick 😶 to be fair, I was much lighter than even the other white kids, which is bound to look concerning to someone who hasn’t seen it before, but still 😂
I'm darker than my siblings. We are blasian. People told me growing up that they're more attractive because they have the right colour. But there's no right or wrong colour. Diversity is beautiful!
@corichin2156 that's horrible people said that to you, it's simply not true. Diversity is beautiful and so are you!
I was the same way with my dark skin I hated it for my whole life up until adulthood. It’s crazy to think about how light people want to be dark and dark people want to be light, it really just goes to show you that every race suffers from insecurity though
@christiansaravia7865 that's wonderful that you've come to accept your skin! It really is so silly, it's one of those "grass is greener" things that doesn't make sense and doesn't have to be. Just like our faces, our skintone is a combination of all who've come before us, and that alone is so beautiful!
Which cream you use dr
As a pale white girl I always want to be darker. I guess we always want what we don't have. I think dark skin (and dark hair/eyes) are so beautiful!
Grab your brownie points lol
That's the same toxic thinking lol.
Same! I'm mostly white, but my grandfather is Indigenous. I never inherited his skin tone as my grandmother and father was fully white. It gives me mega identity issues because I want to be involved more with my tribe. But the cultural appropriation police say that as a white person, I'm appropriating my own family and "another" culture. That I'm a colonizer ect. It's very painful because the world constantly tells me I don't belong in indigenous spaces because I look white.
I just wrote the same comment basically and then found yours. I'm a fellow white girl who loves to not be pale and glow under streetlights at night. Too funny.
@@RavenFeathers90 that's to bad. Here in Central Ontario at the reserve by my city we have natives with very light brown/dirty blonde hair and are quite light skinned, who live on the reserve. You would never know they are native but they definately are. You are native and don't let anyone, and I mean anyone, tell you your not.
Thing is in Asia, if you have light skin you're portrayed as pretty, you also get more attention from everyone and higher chances getting job opportunities from specific workplaces. Also men like women who have light skin more than brown skin so women tend to change their skin color just to be liked or loved by their special someone. I hope there comes an era where everybody just have a "fuck everybody's opinion, i love-myself" mentality.
It looks scary to me! Like he is sick or something
And the funny thing , in the west and evrrywhere else white people tan some, year long to get darker and darker because it is perceived as sexy. I agree. Darker skin is sexy!(comin from a white girl who needs 100x to go to the beach to get a decent tan.
Yesss! Fuck everyone i love myself
Ik! But here in Europe we do whatever it takes to have that Brown ish Colour!(someone even risks theyr life) it is SOME people here that quite dont like other people than them selfes...but As an Half Asian i dont feel an Shame having my colour. Everyone is beatiful
@@moonleyedits141 i should visit Europe asap
I'm asian and I have draker skin compared to my family members. One day my mom told me that my skin becomes darker and darker because I play with my friends outside too often. Later on I no longer enjoy playing outside and meeting friends and always be in my room. That's the origin story how I become more introvert and socially awkward.
It's cruel actually to think that a judgement people put on you because you have a certain skin tone shapes your personality.
Sunlight is so good for you! It always improves my mood and helps your body make vitamin D.
When I was kid I am really extrovert love to go outside play with friends etc but now I am 16 and I hate going outside and love to be with me and now I can call myself introvert. I don't know which one is good introvert or extrovert
@@自殺-w9m that's totally fine! Introvert and extrovert is about how you charge your energy! Introverts gain mental energy just by themselves or with a small group. Extroverts in another hand, they get more energy if they spend more time with people or in a larger group. Each type has their own uniqueness and all I can say is neither is better nor worse. it just depends on the personality they have in general. :>
lol same. i enjoyed hanging out with my friends but my parents wont let me (since they're too strict) so i just stayed inside my room. now i enjoyed inside the room more than going outside. i would even lie to my friends that my parents wont let me go out even though i didnt ask for permission. now, my parents are always asking me to go out and sometimes gets angry since i wont go outside. they would force me that i should change my attitude/mindset whatever and go interact with people.

People go into tanning beds all the time to darken their skin and nobody has a problem with that but when people lighten their skin they get mad.
Not true they discuss the health risks associated with them too
@@k.m.6449 I've never scene anyone get mad over someone tanning their skin to become darker. Whenever somebody lightens their skin they get mad so it it is true.
Because if you go to a climate with an actual sun your skin is going to tan or darken to better protect against the UV rays.
Extremely Underrated comment
Both are beautiful. I've always loved the African tribes where their skin is so dark they're blue and I love the paleness of people like some of those in Scotland
Same, like it’s nice how varied people look, like imagine if everyone looked the same? All skin tones are beautiful and unique
same
No they are not
I've seen pale people but not this light, NO WAY
I’ve seen people from Europe and that’s the latest I think, I’ve seen somebody get pale but this guy looks like he is casket ready.🥴
In Thailand, having lighter skin meant you were born and raised in the city (from my area and by my family's word). It meant you never had to work a day in your life out in the fields and of course, it relates to western beauty of having a lighter skin, even though Thai skin can range from really dark to a light colour (but not pale white, if that makes sense). It's still an ongoing belief and I hope it would change because they still advertise skin whitening cream (although I am guilty of trying some skin whitening deodorant because I'm quite self-conscious(?) about my dark armpits). But then beauty has always been a big thing to the point where surgery is advertised on big billboards, so idk.
On the bright side, my dad always thought it was funny how some Thai people want white skin and some white people want tanned skin.
Not even western standard of beauty, maybe if you were talking 2 hundred years ago but now a days having a tan means you have money to take vacations to the tropics. It's more a beauty standard in Asia because it means you have money and stay inside all day.
In Europe, people try to be taned
American women spend a lot of money on spray tans/bronzer and products to make their skin darker.
I always found it so funny how my thai side of the family wanted to have whiter skin while my European side wanted to have tanned skin 😅
My dad says that too. He used to get bullied for his pale skin and was so confused when skin lightening creams was advertised after coming to Thailand.
Even in Africa, especially in the West countries, they are addicted to whitening their skin. I have seen many before and after pictures and they are horrific.
Not horrific in the sense of like scary, but just that someone was once a gorgeous shade of chocolate and are now near being a white persons coloring. It's disturbing.
One thing that really led me to loving my brown shade was going back to Ke ya and seeing a sea of gorgeous shades of brown. There was even a man who was black. Like actually black coloring and he was gorgeous. Flawless skin and beautiful straight white teeth. Very statuesque too.
Came back to the USA loving my skin color. Though I still was bullied for my appearance.
I think you look beautiful and have gorgeous skin. Overall I think that your very beautiful. And I'm not this pale....lol just hours of makeup and prepping for going to Great Adventure with my daughter around fright fest before COVID had hit. Lol But I hope that your leaving the negative ppl around you out of your life. Unless their just racist bigots. They need to just go and let Karma get them the worst. God doesn't love ppl who hate and are bigoted. My momma would have whooped my life away if I was to ever dare to say or do something racist. That was a huge no no in the house growing up and I always thanked her for raising me and my siblings that way. I took what she did with me and my 4 other siblings and I have been raising my daughter to know no difference between anyone who has darker/or lighter skin ect. She doesn't see anything different from herself and her friends, classmates, and anyone in this world. And I still now look up to the sky and thank my mom for bringing me up to respect ppl and treat others how we'd want to be treated bc it molded me into the woman and mom I am today. My daughter is my world and I love that she's growing up to be a respectable young lady and almost a teen. Sorry for my novel that I wrote. I hope that your not upset about how long it is. I don't write much bc I tend to do this. Have a lovely evening.xoxo much Love 💕 and May God bless you and your family as well...
East Africa also has many bleach users but they seem to be more accepting of rich darker skin, especially in Kenya!! I honestly felt so damn beautiful when I was living there!! I hope we eradicate that belief that light skin is better, it seriously isn’t!! All shades are equally beautiful❤️

As long as you're healthy, you are always beautiful

Hahaha damn
Beauty isn't and shouldn't be based on skin color. It should be based on the character and integrity of the individual.
Nah, that’s character and integrity. Beauty is about looks. Which doesn’t mean putting a bleach on your skin or getting tan is a good idea.

I was just doing makeup on this girl who's got this beautiful golden olive skin, chocolate brown eyes, and thick dark black hair. I told her she was what I always wanted to look like when I was young because tan was the beauty standard (I'm in the us, she's Italian). She looked surprised and said I was what she wanted to look like (pale, green eyes, blond hair). The grass really looks greener, y'all, but sometimes it's an illusion. Just be the best you, that's the best solution.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT! 😊
So true “the grass always looks greener on the other side”…

Even Irish people aren't that pale. He looks dead
For me its stupidity.
Learn some Science people
You guys don’t realize how racist these comments are in themselves, fetishizing tan skin and Asian people.
Yeah, people of color get obsessed with bleaching skin took freakish because of white supremacy still being a pervasive part of life in former colonized nations. It just filters over to mainland and shit because it becomes a trend
And this guy is white fishing lmao
As a black person, I have been told many many times I should lighten my skin because black skin is “ugly” and “stupid” but I will never in my life lighten my skin. I have natural dark skin when people spend money to have it😌💅🏾
I've heard the opposite. That pale skin is ugly and sickly.
Same here I was always to not to play out outside I would get darker and nobody want a dark girl now I have three children one is my chocolate and caramel baby one is my milk and honey and one is my toffee coffee baby ( yes same father yes all from me) and all of their skin is beautiful and have their own special care but I sadly we have had to put some people in their place when talking about our oldest skin in a negative way we shut that ish down quick
That's aweful! I'm sorry to hear that.

So in the west people cook themselves to become darker and in Asia people bleach themselves and use creams to be lighter 😭💀
East light , west dark
You always want what is different. Like in the US everyone thinks blonde hair is most attractive. In Iceland I read everyone there wants to be brunette because they are all natural blonde
@@maggie0285most Americans are blond soo you’re inaccurate
Its the cultures. Tanning used to mean you worked all day in the sun. Now in the west, it means you have free time to just sit around in the sun/ can afford to tan. In the west being pale means you likely don't get to be outside as much as you should be.
In many places though, (especially very hot sunny places) paler skin is still a beauty standard, for those earlier reasons. We can still see this is some of our oldest fables, like certain princesses being described as "pale as snow" to drive in that they are a princess, they sit up in their castle out of the sun doing royal shi
@@viciousv9671most Americans are not blonde. Not sure if you meant that 😂 but thats not true
Dark skin is absolutely beautiful, I feel so bad for Asian kids being shamed into whitening treatments for their natural skin color. We're all beautiful in our own right, the only ugly thing is racism 🇮🇹❤️
That's right bro🇲🇨❤
@I dont care That's awesome and all, but nowadays in many Asian countries darker skin is shunned in favour of lighter skin, which is still incredibly racist.
Even if that WASN'T the case, it's still hurtful to young Asian kids and it's important that in the 21st century we embrace all skin types and colours equally.
You get shamed by the elders especially if you're dark dark, in Philippines the lighter the skin the prettier you are, they will call you "mestizo" or "mestiza". And yeah it is on their culture as in their pre colonial times it is a common perspective.
@@nadonado648 so true I was shamed by my relatives for having dark skin they have the light skin from lolo Spanish decent and my sister pretty much got all of the quality light skin long sharp nose while I get poke fun of for having dark skin and small nose telling me I don't belong in the fam bc I'm different 🤷♀️
They're not so much 'shamed' into it than it's a beauty standard that's many hundreds of years old. I went to school with a girl from northern China and she was SO pale (naturally) her skin was translucent, you could see her veins through her skin. That's what other Asians typically strive towards (I'm the other way, I used to solarium every other day, I was addicted). People like to blame western beauty standards but I'm like you have no idea, they had this ideal waaaay before exposed to western beauty propaganda.
I'm happy with myself. I don't even worry about my brown skin, but I hate it when my sister and her daughter make fun of me just because they have light skin. Every chance they get, they try to make me feel bad. It's irritating. That's why I rarely visit them anymore.
The most beautiful young woman I know has a South American dad and English mom. The daughter rocks a honey tan all year long. In winter, she has a deeper skin tone than the physician on this short. I have to work for a tan like that and envy her not having to go in the sun to look healthy and glowing here in Florida. When she does, she looks South American. Naturally darker skin ages more gracefully. You’ll have the last laugh at your abusive relatives. Surround yourself with family of your own making who love and appreciate you. 😉 “we can’t choose our family but we can choose our friends,” and those friends become family over the decades.
Don't they know what "internalized self hatred" is? Projecting their shame about skin color onto you.
Had that happen to me by my classmate. I told her shes gonna get cancer cuz of her light skin and she'll die soon, hushed her up real quick 😂
@@Whatareevenbirds LOL, kudos for shutting her up. 🤣😂🤣
Sounds like they make fun of your skin tone out of jealousy. I'm betting you are more gorgeous then they are, obviously on the inside and outside both. Good on you keeping that toxic mess out of your life.
Is iv gulathone permanent for skin whitening??
I spent most of my life being jealous of anyone with any kind of color to their skin because I am so pale. I even tried to tan, but I just go from pale to red. Then I find that light skin is preferable in Asian society. I think I was born in the wrong part of the world 🤣
I have that same skin, are you Irish? (If you’re comfortable sharing)
As an Asian, I have tan skin but wanted to be lighter. But now I'm like "this is me", I don't have to change who I am for others to appreciate or like me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@oldarthurmorgan6319 confused you say your light skin but like what ethnicity because black people can be light skinned
So true but how do you get rid of old, ingrained attitudes towards skin that is any other than pearly white and pasty. I've tried talking to some of these people but they refuse to listen... And are just stuck in their own little world... Sigh....
Yeah, especially since a large portion of several countries history is rooted in class systems. For many upper class people an obvious show of wealth back in the day is demonstrating your pallor. Being pale meant you were not the poor or working class who worked hard labor, often outdoors.
You can't save most older people, only the younger generations like children and teenagers.
Dude don't bother wasting ur time on others be happy with urself that's all it's not ur problem 👍🏻
I like having the darker tan color over pasty white. I am caucasian.
I don't find this to be true. I'm so tired of hearing I look like I'm sick or dead because I'm so pale. I'm very tan in my picture because I apply sunless tanner like a fiend during the summer months. Up until recently I was very insecure about my pale skin.
I’m black and love tanning ! Ugh I used to hate being so dark bc I don’t even have a chance at becoming significantly lighter and jealous of other races…sad
I love my skin now! And will tan and get darker! I also find other skin tones beautiful each person looks beautiful w/ their natural skintone
Don't tan it's harmful just like whitening just love your natural skin color
@@Sleepdeprivedthinking They might just mean they are comfortable getting darker tanning is extremely easy when you have melanin. The term tanning doesn’t only refer to the unhealthy way of darkening one’s skin through tanning booths or spending hours in the sun. I’m also black and I just need to be outside for 15 minutes and my skin will become two shades darker. Maybe they mean they are happy with their natural tan ?
That's great for you but it's your choice & you can lighten your skin if you want .... It's totally easy & possible ...just saying.
@@intuitivetasha113 - there is no safe way to lighten skin that does not have long term effects. Also it is difficult to lighten the whole face and body unless you use IV treatments.
And if you have children they will most likely inherit your skin tone.
@@Sleepdeprivedthinking so she can’t go walk outside in the sun then? If you are able to get dark then there is little to no risk from sun exposure. I think it’s time we stop demonizing the sun , the sun also has major benefits like providing 25,000 IU of vitamin D which is vital for our immune systems and ability to combat illness
I always got bullied for being too pale. Would never have imagined someone somewhere would actually want pale skin. Beauty trends are so strange.
I’m not sure if this will help, but producing melanin is such a beautiful thing in evolution. Nearly all people have it and no matter the skin tone, it shares a story thousands (if not millions) of years in the making
couldn't agree more
You being so obsessed with melanin is literally the same as people applying make up/creams to change theirs. 😂 pathetic!
For sure. I envy those who can go in the sun for 1/2 hour and not get burnt, being pale is annoying AF and even in a majority white city in there northern US I stick out like a sore thumb.
@@duuuud9364 stop projecting your weird feelings onto this comment, there’s nothing “pathetic” about it, and it is definitely not condoning changing your skin color to fit a beauty standard in any way. I understand what you’re saying, but explaining that melanin is natural and beautiful is not the same as saying that having it makes you better than anyone else. There is no obsession here. Take your negativity elsewhere please ☺️
Melanin is produced in response to skin damage and irritation... Let's not go overboard and romanticize melanin to be some beautiful thing when it causes hyperpigmentation and discoloration and appears after in response to DNA damage to the skin and is a precursor to cancer.
Growing up in Mexico was quite difficult, due to the strong colorism there is. When I was a child I used to be a little darker than i am today (I didn’t do anything to lighten my skin, it just happened). Some kids at my school would make fun of me saying that I look like an “Indian” or “indigenous person” - i used to feel bad about it, cause even though i knew there’s nothing wrong with that, those comments made me feel ugly -. There was a time in a family reunion that my grandma and aunt said to each other: “she would have been prettier if she was a little lighter” (I’m sure that if my parents were there, they’d have do/said something about it, but they weren’t)
In Mexico people glorify white or light skin as if it was better, unfortunately it’s become part of the culture; you can call someone black or Indian (as an insult) and get away with it. I’m glad that younger generations are starting to be more empathic and respectful and also breaking the racist (yes, there’s a lot of racism in Mexico) and colorist connotations that old people have created.
It’s so sad how people are assigned value based on their color. We do it unconsciously too. My husband is from Mexico and he has told me how much he hates his thick black hair, brown eyes and work tanned skin. I have heard him and his friends throw around playful insults about each other’s color because it’s just such a normalized part of their culture. (For the record I’m not saying it’s wrong to tease in your circle of friends, just acknowledging it feeds the idea that dark is bad). I grew up in a poor white community so my “mud” brown hair, light eyes, and pale skin was seen as common and ugly. It’s funny how he sees my “muddy” (light brown) hair, gray eyes, and very fair skin as super attentive and I see his dark hair, eyes, and skin as attractive. I guess everyone wants what they don’t have.
My experience living in San Antonio is the opposite I'm Hispanic and I've always been fair skinned and would get made fun of or picked on for being lighter and pale. People would use "white girl" as an insult. I never felt bad though because I liked being pale, I loved myself and I have always had good self esteem and never worried about what anyone said.
They use it as an insult? Dang
I will never understand the hate towards darker skin. I’m whiter than everyone else in my big familia. My legs are not that far from being transparent lol. Sometimes before I’ve felt not part of Mexico. I would get made fun of for being pale. They’re different skin tones over there just like everywhere else. What came 1st? Darker skin no? Indios with their beautiful tan skin. Same with India. It just takes us further apart from ourselves. Where we came from. Our culture. All I know is that I am Mexican 🇲🇽and proud. Not born there, but connected.
Yes. Just yes. In fact, currently in the Hispanic community (mostly Mexican) there are sayings or memes against people with dark skin, calling them humble colored people, cardboard colored people, door colored people, people with a tin roof, etc. Racism and especially colorism is strong, and the majority who make such comments are only self-conscious people who have not left the colonial mentality.
This is how my family members describe how pale I am and I'm no where near that light 💀

@@emw5 bruh what? tanning has been around since the dawn of time. so they’re allowed to make their skin whiter but we can’t make ours darker? it’s 2021 no one gives a fuck. it’s funny how they can bleach tf out of their skin but when we want to do something that happens NATURALLY. it’s an issue. stfu.
Then there's us brown south asians bleaching our skin to fit into the standards 😀 (still not as much common as tanning but yeah people do edit their photos 2-3 shades lighter just to fit into the standards)
@@kdjoshi726 yeah 😔 I'm a south Indian too (kerala)
Exactly..l find caramel skin so attractive, beautiful and just too beautiful
What cream does he use please anyone tell.me am tired of dull skin and mistreatments 😢
Hydroquinone 😂
I tried to love myself. But, every time I do, at least I got a comment from other people, neither about my skin tone or my body.
"You should buy some whitening lotion for your skin, then maybe a guy finally notice you"
"You look like a walking black bone"
"You should smile more, your facial expressions make other people uncomfortable"
"You should talk more about something else than Anime or Movie, or a guy will be never come close to you because of your weirdness keep them running away from you"
"You know, if you don't lighten up your skin tone in 5 years, you will never be able to get married"
I'm so sick of this comment. I know I am already in my twenties and should have been or already been in a relationship. But, every time I tried to have a serious connection with a guy, it always ended up one-sided. Neither the guy tried hitting on me, only to get my beautiful best friend attention or The guys said he rejected me but will consider a relationship with me if I lighten up my skin tone and drop all of my weird hobbies.
I saw a video on your channel, probably the girl it's you. You're beautiful, really. I don't know how works in your country, but for us you're amazing. It's sad when the people use excuse of "historical beauty" to approve discrimination. The same fight to love ourselves should be for all the world. Take care and keep going with your art, it will save u ♡♡♡
Please, remember - you are enough, just the way you are. No one and I mean No One is perfect & that's what makes people so wonderfully unique! You are still young & have so much to learn and experience and enjoy.. And once you do you will have so much more to talk about with people including men that you will attract that certain person at that certain point in time and everything will fall into place. Not because you want it to happen because it's ready to happen. And you will not have to give up anything you don't want to give up for the other person because you are enough the way you are. Stay Strong and live each day as an adventure!
Enjoy whatever hobbies you like. The right person will notice you . No one should expect you to lighten your skin or become a whole different person to be with them. All your quirks make you you. ❤️
We are all fair fully and wonderfully created with our own uniqueness by the hands of God.
No one says that to you lmfao stfu
Your skin is beautiful no matter what shade it is. As someone with extremely light and sunburn-prone skin, I was ashamed of not being darker for a long time because I was always made to feel bad about it, and on the flip side of the coin, dark-skinned people are made to feel bad about their skin being too dark. Either way, you can't win, so might as well love what you've been given.
White-hate is vogue now. It's pretty disgusting. Take everything he's saying and put the polar opposite twist and see how racist it suddenly sounds. Because it is. There is NOTHING wrong with being white and people who choose to be that way have EVERY right to do so. I find bright to be beautiful myself and I'm a dark guy. When will people understand that it's "the man that makes the suit".
And no I'm not going to explain that to anyone, its self evident.
@@jasoncarto He literally never even said anything about race. Skin color =/= race, you know damn well darker Asians are perceived worse than light Asians, for example, and they're the same race. You're the type to say to him "stop bringing race into everything and stop reverse racism!!!" but you're the one bringing race into it. I hope you're purposefully dense. Have white skinned people ever been oppressed? No. Have they ever been called subhuman and all sorts of slurs for their skin tone? No, but darker skinned people have.
✨👍👍✨
@clatterslam true
@@synkronized wow. You made the argument that racism has nothing to do with skin color when that is what people cite when they mean racism. Why don't you preach that elsewhere. I bet you won't, you're a coward afterall.
I love my light skin, but that's more about embracing myself and my natural skin. Im the palest in my family and they keep trying to push me to get a tan, going so far as to even gift me self tanning products :/
I find it sad that we keep pushing people to change their skintone, for people with darker skintones society expects them to lighten it, and for people with light skin we're expected to tan it. I wish there was more focus on just embracing yourself and your natural beauty, light, dark, or something in between, doesn't matter, you're beautiful the way you were born.
I hate fake tan, & I am one of the palest ppl in the world. You hv to be comfortable with yourself, & frankly, I look silly with fake tan, it looks weird; I hv v deep red hair, which makes my pale skin glow, & hv learned not to listen, to what "some ppl" say, hope you do too. Maybe your family gave you those though bc you had mentioned ppl saying things - they just want you to be happy most likely🙏💜
Same here, i can’t be with my family without they make fun of my pale skintone
Omg same my family is overall white my sister is blonde or light brownish and im totally blonde and very white and my family keeps telling me to go outside get color more and my uncle got so far to call me "a sheep" because of my light hair and skin,im like 👁👄👁 is it my fault?
Damn 😆 gifting u self tanning products is a little too far. What nationality are you
I don't get where this bullshit came from. There isnt a beautiful "skin colour", and these people are some ignorant pieces of shits for thinking shit like that. Beauty of skin depends on texture and how healthy the skin is, to care about the colour is some what reinforcing racism even if it's not meant that way
what products do he use?
Glutathione isn’t bad for the body, in fact it’s a treatment for some people with certain illnesses. However, you don’t need to over do it unless as the professional stated you want to lighten your skin which is very unnecessary.
Yh it's used for illness, don't you think healthy people consuming this will cause harm to themselves, and not enough studies are conducted yet , we don't know what it'll really cause to our body
As an Asian there's always been an expectation to be paler. I'm a way darker than most of my family and get darker when I tan. Alot of people said I looked Mexican and some people pitied me whenever they talked to my parents or even subtly insult me when they were only around me, expecting me not to understand. My relatives and parents would always say how disappointing it was that I turned out so dark. As a kid I ended up being insecure about my skin and even started searching up lighting products for the future so that in the future my family could stop saying I was ugly or stupid and so I could feel good about my body for once. I couldn't help that I was dark.
Considering I still have a hard time learning my family's native language that furthers my isolation from my family. I wish there wasn't such expectations for lighter skin sometimes.
Honestly tho super super super super light skin makes you look ghost like and dead. Darker or tan skin is more beautiful by a lot. Idk why they think it’s attractive to be white as paper.
In other words your skin is beautiful and way more beautiful than all of them.
@@makenziebrown3649 i think both are pretty
@@makenziebrown3649 that’s part of the aesthetic. ‘S why I (as a white person) like my light skin, it contrasts well with the black I love to wear, makes me look ghostly. There are complimentary colors and styles for every skin color, it’s just about people finding what makes them happy!
@@arminowo3885 Thank you, not the hard to treat all skin tones as equal and beautiful..
I'm Indian and all my life I had been bullied for my brown skin. I did my graduation in biology just because I wanted to know why people are dark skinned to change it to light skin 😂 but thankfully when I studied the benifits of melanin protein I give up the idea of light skin. I'm happy with my naturally brown skin. I don't care what people say. I'm strong enough to support the truth 😂😊😊❤❤❤🎉
@iilydaalol u don't have knowledge.. do a yellow peel and say after it ..
Yes!! Love the skin you are in ❤
What? In india mostly people are dark and you got shamed for that
@@7m4sushmitakalla65 yes
Can we use it for sensitive areas?
I could see using the IV if you had dark skin in India & were trying to get a decent job, as unfortunately their caste system doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon. That cream though... Turns skin paper-thin. Light-skinned ppl wanting to tan darker, darker skinned ppl wanting to be lighter. Hair dyes in every shade nature ever created and many more. Skinny women trendy one year, big bottomed the next. Nothing wrong with a bit of Botox, nose job, or tummy tuck, but wish ppl would focus on being healthy physically & mentally & LOVE THEMSELVES.
Ex-fuckin-actly
Nobody is unique anymore, they just want to look like someone or the other
In jobs its kinda uncommon but for getting married it's like must! Especially girls are supposed to have fair or light skin here to get good proposals
Dark skin people can't get jobs in India? What? 👀
@@monniej58 it's nothing like that😑 my father is dark skinned n he has a perfect job.. Appx all the scientists in India are from south and are dark coloured... These are myths that they do not get job.. N it is a wrong info.. Donno how people take name of a whole country to represent the words which only they said.
I wish i could make people see this: that no matter what their skin color is they are beautiful and should be proudly celebrating it as a birth-right and heritage. Changing it is like being ashamed of yourself, your parents, your culture, your race and your very humanity. The fact you are alive is amazing! Love yourself♡
Thank you. That is nicest thing to say. Best thing I've heard or read in the last 5 years.🕯️🔥 💯💪
Tell that to the blonde-haired Koreans. Or the red-haired Blacks. Or Cyndy Lauper and her true colors.
I agree, but this is obivously a tradition/cultural thing in the east and has probably been around for +200 years. Nothing to due with race.
Love this!!! In my culture, the whiter you are, the prettier you are. And the better husband you can get then. A childhood close friend is rather dark and a bit overweight , but her facial features are beautiful (besides being such a great person overall); while another childhood “friend” is very fair, yet she’s no “stunning beauty”…physically or behaviorally. In fact, she’s a mean, stuck up brat with RBF. Yet she’s well known within our community (all across America) as one of the most beautiful. The darker friend got married at 27 and has 2 kids, while the other one, in her 40s, is still looking for Prince Charming. It’s sad bc she was led to believe that her fair skin makes her worthy of getting the “perfect” man (if that even exists). I’ve asked her directly what makes her deserve such a great husband and none of us don’t (I’m considered to be on the fairer side in my community and married at 25, with 3 kids). She flat out says that everyone says to her that her fairness will attract handsome men with higher educations and careers (aka “doctors”).
I can’t believe SHE hasn’t figured out by now that it’s not true. She’s in her 40s!! Is she truly this blind and dumb??!! I think that’s worse than elders telling her since she was 15 how her “milky white skin will give her all the happiness in the world”. Uh, even those ladies have shut up now since they can at least now see how wrong they were.
Thank God my generation and even younger don’t care about skin color at all!!
Btw…I have 3 sons who all have different colors/shades of skin. I’ve been asked by elders if my “darkest” son ever feels bad or inferior. Good Lord!!! I’ve never thought that so he definitely doesn’t think that way and has probably never even thought of that. As a mother, now I know how horrible it must have felt to have a child, especially a daughter, who was darker. You’d feel sick to your stomach that people look at your child like that and then feel pressured to make your child “whiter”.
@@Lorzanne so was foot binding at one point. Glad that's no longer in fashion & this should go the way of the dodo too.
It's crazy that he's aiming to get the skin colour that makes me insecure about myself
Don't worry most of us are like that
Same.. I'm native American and very light skinned. I used to get picked on growing up on the reservation. And I would try to tan in the sun but it was hurting my skin.. so I stopped trying and began to love my skin and tell my bullies to fuck off lol
Its true. Here in asia we don’t like tanned skin we use a lot of whitening products. At first i cannot believe that most Americans wants to achieve a tan skin
@@Aya-rf3pg that's why skin cancer exist.
Change country
I love my white skin my husband black skin our childrens brown skin all skin is beautiful no matter how light and dark it's just beautiful as we are all created in God's image ❣️
Even vampires and ghosts are afraid of him now 💀
😂😂😂😂
It would be okay if it he was naturally white.
Yeah, I was self conscious about my skin color too growing up. I'm Asian and I grew up with people telling young girls that those only with lighter skin are beautiful so there are a bunch of whitening products here (even in the media). But luckily as I grew up, I learned to love myself and became happy with my own skin color.
Ok all skin colours are beautiful whether your super pale,super dark anything in between or anything different it doesn’t matter what colour your skin is because we are all people and all deserve respect
Not all people deserve respect just for having one feature, but I understand what you trying to say, you mean this right?: "not all people deserve respect for being different but not a single person deserves hate for just one feature"
Cream name please
You can search for creams that contain Hydroquinone
Is nobody going to talk about the random Jungkook head in the video ❤️🤣🤣❤️
Exactly I was searching for the comment about Jungkookie
I thought I was only the that saw it 😅
@@ayeshasiddikha897 me too
Bro fr I was like why isn't anyone else noticing it. that was the first thing I notcied😂😂
Honestly, this is the first time I’ve heard of whiter/lighter skin is more beautiful. And reading the comments, I’m shocked it’s such a thing. I grew up where it was a competition to see who could get the darkest from tanning (natural or not). My sister (who is borderline albino) was bullied relentlessly because she couldn’t tan. I was bullied because I wasn’t tan enough. I was too pale to be considered beautiful. Even as an adult, I’m picked on occasionally by family and friends because I’m pale and live in the south now. 🤷♀️
It's the opposite in asian countries.. You can think about England or France from say 1800s... Half of Asia was colonized and developed the mindset that white were superior and the other half just had it in the culture as being pale meant you didn't work outside, hence higher in class or of "noble" birth..
Can you tell me the country where you live?😀
@@shahbajkhan9388 i think she lives in america
Really lol. Get out more. Pale skin is the universal beauty standard always has been. Tanning is different from being naturally brown or darkskinned.
@@pretendfriend1417 same. I'm Indian brown and we have this greyish tone (?) so we are def not the ideal "tan"
my skin is very very fair, to this day I'm criticised over it. why don't I get a tan/spray tan 😒 I've even been asked if I'm wearing white foundation all over my body, you can never win!
I get that, my mom was always making fun of me for being so pale.
“You are so pale, you need to get in the sun”. Etc.
She’s dark olive with black hair, like her father.
I have red hair and pale skin.
My sister once had me convinced I was adopted. 😄
Both of my parents have black hair color & olive skin, with redhead genes in both families.
She should know that you can't tan, you're skin type 1 so you will only burn unless it's SprayTan but it's so nasty when parents jokingly mock kids and don't think it makes em self conscious.
Carrot juice makes it yellowy
😢😢😢
I’m decently Irish and while I may burn to a crisp in the sun, at least I’ve been able to just use white eyeshadow instead of normal powder in winter when I ran out of the latter 😂
I’m still bitter at how easily I burn in the sun. Can’t believe that I’ve gotten second degree burns after only reapplying 50 spf sunscreen once at the beach. I wish that was a joke 💀💀 The closest I’ve been to a tan is getting some freckles, which are nice!
What's the product?
He's gonna catch fire the moment sunlight touches him
Edward Cullen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Naw just sparkle awkwardly
Every skin color is beautiful and we shouldn't feel the need to change it. Unfortunately it's an issue that persists in many places. I'm light skinned considering my country and when I got tanned staying out in the sun, I had to hear things like "you used to look better before. Your face is so dark now!" This concerned me because this is what many people think about those who are dark skinned and I would've had to face this if I was darker. People have to change the mentality that only a certain skin color is beautiful. It breaks people's confidence and makes them insecure when they have absolutely no need to be. To anybody reading this- You are beautiful! Stay happy and love yourself
Whats product hes using? ??
I love brown skin. Beautiful.
White - needs tanning booth
Brown-needs lightening cream
Curly hair--needs relaxer
Straight hair-needs waves
Big girl-- needs diet
Skinny girl-- needs bbl
Let’s all just be happy with what we have so that the only people not happy are then those raking in $$$ from the beauty industry.
You’re right, colourism in Asia is a huge issue
its but we cant do anything about just like how in America there is a different beauty standard if asians like pale skins thats their preference and how in america white girls literally tan so much they turn orange .
@@piercedh34rt9 not true it's not always white girls I don't even tan just sit in the sun naturally
@@piercedh34rt9 I mean, I just don’t let it bother me. And I think as long as my attitude and confidence isn’t affected by their preferences, then maybe little changes can occur. Or not, shouldn’t matter because the only thing you can change is your attitude, not others (speaking as a “tan” Korean American who gets called “dark” when I visit SK).
@@Laura-Yu but what can we do about it ? nothing .you cant change their perspective of what they find beautiful.
It's everywhere not just Asia we all need to love our self's no matter what are skin tone is
Tanning and whitening skin are both silly. I finally accepted I'm very pale, it won't change and that's FINE. Some people still comment on my skin, especially if I went on vacation and didn't come back with a tan. Oh well, embrace yourself!!
Me being tan (tbh I'm brown with a lighter shade. I have that yellowish-brown skin) who gets even more darker in summers (Imao). Still here we show off those who have white skin & are good looking. Fair skin is the beauty standard here. I remember being placed on the back consecutively for years in my school (I took part in dance competition since as young as I was 7 or 8 till I was in 8th grade). The reason they gave me was "I'm tall so if I'm in the front people can't see the others at the back" while they would cast other good looking tall & pale girls 😀 Anyways Idc now I'm over with school anyways but this part of my school did left a negative impression on me
@@kdjoshi726 that’s funny because I was pale and tall and always in the back of all photos at school. In my experience people like “normal white” skin, not ultra pale like me. I reflect the sun 😂 and people looooove to comment on it. I wish we could embrace all colours.
I hate being pale
@@XxKristinaaXx I hate being tan. I want to be pale. You see, just embrace yourself. Im sure you're beautiful.

For the worst. What's worst are people are too dumb to see why.
@@jasoncarto what makes you say that
It is high time now that people accept that each and every shade of skin is beautiful.
People should know that some of us naturally pale caucasian folks wish we had that glowy tanned look! I used to use bronzer all the time for a fake tan!
It has nothing to do with Caucasians. Asians often become pale when they stay indoors and tan when they work under the sun. However, some people choose to bleach their skin because in some Asian cultures, pale skin is associated with wealth and privilege. This preference for pale skin can be attributed to classism, which values the appearance of wealth and status. It is important to recognize that this phenomenon is not caused by an obsession with the West, but rather by cultural beliefs that have existed in many Asian societies for centuries.
people want what they don't have
I know I do - I envy people who have that.
They dont care. They would rather look grayish and dead like the guy in the video. A asian youtuber had a photo with her kids and in one of the photo, the filrer was so strong its look like they took a picture with her corpse. Even pale skinned white people skin tone isnt enough for them. They want to look like ghouls. At least, people who tan still look human even if I don't agree with it either. For people who hate the 4sians are aliens stereotypes, their beauty standard make them look like ones.
@@dian277people just want what they want...& That's ok
Doc can i ask a question which whitening soap is more effective skin white whitening soap or kojie son whitening soap im just asking i alr have fair skin
I’m not a huge fan of the “corpse dipped in baby powder” look. It just doesn’t do it for me. Idk why🤔 In all seriousness though the nicest looking skin is healthy skin, dark, medium, or light.
Yup. Knew a girl that had beautiful dark brown skin-just had this depth/richness to it (hard to explain sorry). She used lightening cream for a while, and it just didn't look as healthy. Maybe it was dryer or something, idk... Found out it makes skin paper thin, and if you spend even a short time in the sun it just tans back.
Lmao
Nahhh💀💀💀
I'm an albino. My skin is healthy.
This message needs to be heard constantly and this doctor always nails it. Fairer & darker skin are =.
No DIFFERENCE in beauty.
And....its the % of melanin that makes the difference. Biology. No one can change that. Be proud if who u are.
Its hard to get the message while society keeps mistreating others for their skin color.
Yeh damn. I'm Asian , and my skin is very fair, I'm the only one in my family with fair skin, my mother tends to joke around and says " I look like your personal maid" it's quite sad that in Asia , the fairer you are the more pretty or handsome you are in their minds.
