It's an interesting article, I was talking about this subject the other day with someone, I kind of saw the funny side of lighter skins wanting to be darker skins and darker skins wanting to be lighter skins, but as you highlight it's really not funny. I watched a video of a black woman talking about how it was virtually impossible for her to get makeup for her skin tone in a certain part of Asia because all the products were aimed at skin whitening, I've also seen videos that have highlighted some other fairly upsetting issues regarding the general attitude towards the emphasis put on skin tone in parts of Asia, and these kinds of products really don't help in dissolving that kind of ignorance.
Yes mate! =)
