probably that stigma about it being more socially acceptable than darker skin....i blame that on european colonialism that set deep roots in the mindsets of their former subjects....

This is an understatement. Filipina's are outwardly prejudiced against other darker skinned Filipinas. The sale of skin whitening soaps and products is a multi-million dollar industry in the Philippines. Many filipinas have a strong fear of their skin getting dark.

Very true! but gotta say i like the darker skin!

this prejudice had to come from somewhere right? was the filipino culture always like this, i mean before they were "visited" by other cultures, and by that i mean subjected to foreign tastes, rules, laws, beliefs, etc etc...

as a side statement, however, i think that a lot of the world's problems stem from the europeans (western in particular) colonizing and enslaving most of the world for over 500+ years. in some sense, you can argue that these travels of theirs brought some good, but it's been mostly bad...anyways, another topic.

As for me, I have natural brown skin. The genes I got from my dad's side. And I love it. It's some form of protection against those UV rays.I'd rather spend my money (if only i have some to waste)on basic necessities than to mess up with what God had given me, unless it's for health reasons..

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

We spent the day out at the airport, watching the airshow here in Sonoma County. We just finished dinner, and the wife goes into the bathroom to "freshen up", and I hear a blood curdling scream.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

(more wailing and moaning)

"Baby, what's wrong? You okay?"

(she comes out, naked)

"Look!"

"What?"

"My skin!"

"What's wrong?"

"It got darker! I hate it!" showing a slight tanline one her arms.

"Maybe it will come off in the shower. Maybe it's just dirt."

"Good idea! I will scrub really hard!"

"No, wait, don't do that! It will only last a few weeks, maybe a month at most."

"Noooooooooooo!"

I was shocked when I first heard about "Whitening cream", and still to this day make fun of her for it. Se keeps wondering if we have it in the US.

American women want tan skin and curly hair.

Filipino Women want white skin and straight hair.

Oh well.
