Re: white skin color

@Man with a Plan

Das Reich you said “In the eastern cultures women that had lighter skin color were those that took the veil and did not work in the fields(higher sociel status) so maybe that is why light color is so sought after”

I agree with the part that light color is sought after in our society but come on light skin colour has nothing to do with women who work or not. You can veil yourself all you want and still be dark & vise versa. Skin colour science is way too complicated than some of us might think.

Maybe not right now, but it certainly was the reasoning in the older days, that if you were light it meant you were able to stay indoors (women) or had a white-collar job (men).. and it was Western societies as well, same as a fat body was healthy and beautiful because it meant you were rich enough to afford food whereas nowadays overweight = poor and lazy
