Lighter skin is seen as desirable and a sign of wealth and prosperity. I believe the same in India as well as darker skin is associated with outdoor manual work and lighter skin means a better indoor job. I have always been amazed when my colleagues have expressed the opinion that they thought lighter skin was better. Black skin can look fantastic, particular when it is moisturised and contrasted with certain colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually kind of sad that it's so embedded in the culture that corporations (I'm talking even big ones like Nivea/Neutrogena) are profiting off of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2022 Some years ago, a friend of mine did some babysitting for an African family in Leeds. They had three little girls, the elder two of which were allowed to play outside, the youngest wasn't. My friend reported the following conversation with the little 'un: "You'll be able to play out when you're a bit older" "Yes, when I'm grown up, and I'm white" "Err... you won't actually be white - your mummy's not white, is she?" (Wistfully) "She is a little bit white..." One of the saddest things I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m probably overthinking it but I have to admit in todays climate I’m a little bit worried. Backstory: Chap with his dog (staffie thats never on a lead) who he repeatedly lets shit everywhere (road/paths/grass) and never picks it up. Huge poops every time. He doesn’t live where the dog keeps crapping near our house but about a 2 minute walk away by the main road. I’ve reported it to the council using the online form and I’ve described the dog and then described himself as I don’t know his name or where he lives exactly. I said he was a black man with long dreadlocks purely for identification purposes if they need to find him but I’m worried it could be taken out of context by someone reading the complaint form. Well you reported it to the council, so the chance of anyone actually reading it is slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah travellers. All crying because of a Jimmy Carr joke and protesting at his gigs. People might have a bit of sympathy if they didn't turn every place they invade into a **** war zone and constantly break into land they aren't supposed to be on.

The joke? Their mass extermination in the holocaust? Seems a strange sort of thing to have conditional sympathy for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 While Wimbledon's on, I thought this was really good. As a white person, you don't notice it until someone tells you, but it's so true that white athletes (especially white men) are celebrated for being dicks in a way that non-white athletes get crucified for. I hope it has improved a lot since Arthur Ashe's day, but it's still definitely double standards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
