Isn’t that what a comparison is, Sara? When you compare two or more things, you prefer one over the other(s). The ones you don’t prefer, you’re automatically liking less than what you do prefer which may be seen as “putting down” but that is one’s own perspective. The poster above thinks that skin colour doesn’t define beauty. Why is that mentality wrong? Her mother thinks if you’re dark skinned that’s it you’re ugly but the poster thinks one could be dark skinned *and *beautiful.

To many, Angelina Jolie is more beautiful than Paris Hilton. Both are white but one has better facial features than the other. Does that mean Paris Hilton deserves to be insulted? I don’t think the poster said that anywhere. She’s just not *as *beautiful to those people and that is their opinion.

Simply having a preference for one thing over another isn’t considered insulting the other thing…it’s when you also state negative things about the other then it becomes insulting.

I can say I think Angelina Jolie is beautiful but I don’t have to say that Paris Hilton is ugly to state my preference.

I can say that I like desi food but I don’t have to say that chinese/mexican/etc food is horrible.

I can say that I think dark skinned girls are pretty WITHOUT having to say that “gori girls are ugly.”

I get waht the poster was saying…but she could simply have said that skin color doesn’t define beauty, she didn’t have to say that the “gori” girl has (in her opinion) terrible features…and I don’t know about you but saying someone has ugly skin or terrible features IS an insult and putdown.
