My mom says the same exact thing about my skin when it's tan. But I heard from somewhere that the reason why vietnamese people (or even asian in general) like lighter skin has to do with your class in society. Your status can be seen from the color of your skin because the people who were rich did not have to work out in the sun as much and had lighter skin compared to the ones who were outside all day. I think that's why vietnamese people may think having light skin is prettier.

@ADOradora188 yeah, that's true in my country (Mexico) if someone is dark skinned they call them Indios (Indigenous), which is ironic actully since the majority of us have a mixture of Indigenous and European blood... I guess it depends on how you feel more atractive, for instance when i'm tan i look really bad, and when i'm slightly pale i look sick lol so i guess medium skin tone is best for me~ lol

surely its not about the colour of your skin but your features.. how you look after and present yourself?
a person could see a dark/pale person in a negative light because they haven't met/seen a person of that colour who is physically attractive in their eyes.. but when/if they do, i think their idea would/might change........

i have blonde hair, very light skin and green eyes, i always get teased and mocked at school for having light skin , boys always say im ugly because im not tanned and it hurts so much, if anyone is teased or looked down on because of their not tanned or not white etc they should ignore it because your beautiful just the way you are :) someone someday will love you for exactly the way you are. x

omggg, i would kill for your skin color i can't believe your family would say that. Your so pretty, no matter what skin color, but i would love to have your skin color. People spend like months tanning to look like your skin. your lucky

I can really relate to this.Both my mom and dad have light skinned,basically everyone in my family has light skin.Im ussualy indoors all the time but when I go outside,no matter how long,I end up tanning.I can just walk outside and tan that easy.I always thought that light skin was pretty and I would get teased but now I do relieze that its just the way I am :) and Dark is beauitiful.

Thanks for the video dear. I am Chinese and I can completely relate to it. I think generally Asian cultures think lighter skin is prettier. I used to feel exactly the same way as you did growing up coz it was just how the general public wants you to think. But I am not bothered by it anymore. As another comment said that beauty comes from within and it is so true that when you are confident, you feel beautiful and that's when you are truly beautiful. We are all beautiful in the way God made us.
I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL!!! Especially coming from your own parents makes it hurt like 10x more. Everyone should just realize beauty comes from within

it's the same thing in the black community... Back in slave times, when you were light skinned, you were a house slave, living slightly more comfortable than the darker field slaves. Also being light skinned meant you were more beautiful, even now. Dark skinned black women have a harder time than light skinned or mid toned women. I know black men who won't date a dark skinned woman because of the way society looks at it. I think brown is beautiful, and I don't understand the stigma.
