I think skin bleaching might be a rampant issue. iirc Africans and Asians also do it. Everyone seems to want lighter skin. Wonder if it’s due to Western influence.

At least some of it comes from outdoor workers being darker from sun exposure and then cultures associate “dark = laborer.”

I still think it’s funny that tanning salons are so popular in the US, to look like you have free time to lounge in the sun.
