I had my husband's niece asked me about my skin, she asked why I have dark skinned.
I can't explain it to her hahha, I was speachless lol. Her mom my sister in-law has this Asian fairest skin ever, just so pale. And she always wrapped her body from head to toes when she go outside and carried a parasol wherever she goes. Not to mentioned her whitening products she bought once a week.
I have mixed blood too Nicolet, Chinese-Persian and Dutch-Indonesian.
My mom is Persian-Chinese, My father is Dutch-Indonesian.
I just don't feel comfortable when they talk about skin color here in Japan.
And yes Msfashionguru, most Japanese here are so fond with European life cultures.
I love European and American cultures as well, just don't mention about skin color, I get really sensitive when it's come to skin color conversations here in Japan.
Leony, sorry to hear that you were in uncomfortable situations.
But trust me, those people who care about skin colour, that's because they are country people and narrow minded. they don't know rest of the world!
Here in Tokyo, it's such a melting pot. most of my friends go out with black guys or married! and they are frequent visitor of tanning bed because they want to get tanned as possible! Urban culture is so popular for young people in Tokyo, skin colour isn't a big deal.
Maybe you shoud move to Tokyo
