My dad, whose dutch-indonesian and dark skinned would just shake his head at me and smile. On the other hand, my girlfriend, from the Phillipines uses this skin bleaching stuff to make her skin whiter. I am so confused by this because her skin is so beautiful the way God made her.
I am finally at peace with my fair complexion...after all that bad sun exposure. People come in all different shapes and colors..there's beauty in all of us.
Thank you for making me feel better Nicolet
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.
