RE: White is better - Why companies can't hide their racism

in #news • 7 years ago

I love brown skin people.. sometimes I am a bit jealous of their beautiful skin. In summer i like to go to a tanning bed to get a bit brown 😊. It's really sad how people think that way about people with dark skin.

Well, maybe companies should try to show that more people get tans to get a bit darker :) I think whatever people's skin colour, it should be celebrated, and not shown as something inferior or that needs to be cleaned.

In the Netherlands people like to get a tan. They sell many tan products. Even Nivea and Dove sell tanning products. Im just not sure if they also make commercials about it. I think its more in Asian country where white skin is seen as something superior.

Yeah, you are right. It's human nature to want what you don't have. In Asia especially, white is sold as superior. While in the West, getting a tan has nothing attached to it. So people get a tan to get a bit of 'colour' or to look like they've been on holiday! The problem is when companies sell products with the message of 'white is better' which then encourages the ignorant and insecure to believe that's true.
