Why do many japanese want to have white skin? - Page 6

As a Latina (I don't acknowledge the term "Hispanic" thank you) i like my skin tone, sometimes I wish I can get a tad bit browner without burning though

. But you get that "ideal beauty" of lighter skin in Latin American countries too. Oh well, c'est la vie. I just ignore them.

Well, to borrow my girlfriend:

"Because everyone is brown. If you are white, you look more like western people, so you look more beautiful."

Same reason why they want round eyes and bigger noses :P

Well, I am from America

, basiclly I dont understand it? I wont tan period I am trying but my skin stays somewhat PALE. I hate it. Its hard for me to tan but on my neck, and other than that I just burn. Very annoying, Im your basic sterotypical american as in blue eyes and blonde hair. Dont mind the eyes but I plan on dieing my hair. But I am tryig to get a tan before I die my hair. Then again mabey if I used more lotions and smoothed my skin out it would look better.

Well... I'm from America... But I'm 100% Chinese... I don't think why japanese want white skin... but....

Chinese -sorry for switching asian-ness- but Chinese people want white skin is because in the past, royality and rich females and males do not work out in the sun. and it is to show their wealth. Example... My mom was a farmer in China, and of course she is tan. Males would WANT palers females... Well... does that make sense... it's hard to say... Maybe JApanese are the same... NO SE

You got it OneWei. As shocked as people may be, this isn't about white people.
