Well I don’t agree with that. I’ve never met an Aboriginal or African person who wanted to change their skin color to white. And if you’ve been to Australia you should know that many people prefer tanned skin to pale white skin; Australians will laugh at someone with bright white legs. Personally, I find unnaturally pale Taiwanese women very unattractive - give me a darker skinned one any day.[/quote]
Ahh, my apologies, I was not being very clear on my point. What I meant was that people who live in temperate regions ( especially Europe ) who are mostly white in terms of skin colour are more accustomed to living, working etc. with white- skinned people. People with dark- skin might look alien or abnormal to them, assuming that they have never met many dark- skinned people before. Thus, the native people are always more comfortable with people of their race. It is the same case in Africa. Dark- skinned Africans feel comfortable around other dark- skinned people, because it has become a norm for them. In my previous post, I was speaking in terms of how certain white people view dark- skinned people. This could be one reason why racism is prevalent in certain countries. I apologize for any misunderstandings.
I don’t know about the tanned part though, and I can’t comment on ‘’ pale Taiwanese women ‘’ either. I can confirm however, that I find most foreigners, regardless of skin- colour or race, friendly and respectful. I’ve even met some friendly Iranians in the past, despite the hostile nature of their country, they are quite polite and courteous. 2012 is the 3rd year since I made a vow to become a non- baised or racist person.
