Maybe a poor choice of words on my account, but no i don't think dark skin is a "flaw" to look past but rather a part of someone... It should be that "she/he is beautiful." Full-stop. Not.. "she's fat but pretty." or "pretty but dark." I wish people would realize how stupid they sound when they say these type of things.
I figured it was just context Sara. You've definitely proved to be very tolerant and progressive, I apologize if I came on kinda harsh!
Oh, and the weight thing drives me crazy as well! But thats a whole 'nother thread!
