I agree with @frejafri that all colors are beautiful. When I lived in Indonesia, I saw many women use whitening cream to make their faces lighter. I felt that the unnatural look that they forced on themselves is what was unattractive - not the color of their skin.

In the US and the west, many women want darker skin. In Asia, the opposite is true. I am amazed (and saddened) that we are not content with how we are created.

Great post!
