BBC News: Beyond the pale?

Although Asian countries like India, China and Japan had their problems with European colonialism the white men’s influence still reigns supreme.

In China and Japan woman get plastic surgery to look more Caucasian, brown Asians dye their skins to look paler. It’s also amazing how many ‘blonde’ Asian girls are out there.

Success is to be rich enough to afford such ‘improvements’ and join the westernized middle class.

I find this highly ironic, since pale westerners roast their skins on sunbeds and use other cremes to look browner.

Nevermind vanity. It once again shows that people are willing to do almost anything to belong to the ‘majority’. Whatever happened to ‘vive la difference’?
