-ker After watching 28 days later. seeing that melanin deficient white boy wake up from a coma in the hospital, i thought to my self, damn, that must really hurt being that white. so my question is do you think white people (especiallly the really melanin deficient ones) wish they were darker, and if so how much. what would u do if you were this white?

Some do...but rather for health or aestethic reasons rather than racist ones. Maybe some do, but I doubt they'd be more than those that wish to be less dark. b199er: where are you going with your question?

Why would they wish they were darker?
Its actually a myth that pale white like in that pic is unhealthy. Its very healthy, if its your natural color.
All those white people getting tans, now THAT is unhealthy.

Do white people wish they were black? No. Only blacks say that. Now what I want to know is, B199er, are you the mastermind behind the "Tate parody?"

Well, it involved a photo of a well-known American poster to Dodona and other forums who is currently living in a foreign land as part of his responsiblities. An evil comic genius took the photo and put it in a very convincing online BBC news story format. It was very funny, but many of us felt sympathy for the man in the photo because it was so over the line. I suspect that the genius responsible was b199er. I shouldn't be more specific because the parody itself would violate the rules of this forum. But maybe now that all the hoopla has died down, b199er will "fess up." I remember now! Well, mastermind or not, I'm afraid he won't be able to answer you now; at least not in this board and behind the same persona.

Many pale white Americans I know wish they were darker. They lie out in the sun to get tans and go to tanning booths. I am a very pale white blonde and I do the opposite. I try to maintain my paleness by avoiding the sun. I do it mainly for health reasons (my skin can't take any sun without burning). I don't mind the way I look, and don't wish my skin was different.

Ugh, that very dark Christina Aguilera picture looks awful. I think she makes a hot blonde, but I remember the first time I saw her with black hair I almost messed myself. She was smokin'.

^there aren't so many people with natural white hair anyway. Most of the "nordish" people have grey hair, they end up looking like mice, that's why they dye their hair white or black. ;D

No, I do not agree. The summer tanning thing is just seasonal, most of those people do the tanning as they have been convinced it looks better and indicating an outdoors lifestyle. I am not a plant and if I never saw sunshine again it would not bother me.

Most of the very white people I know say they look better with a tan. Usually I don't believe them because they look fine pale. But 9 times out of 10, when they get a tan I am amazed at how attractive it makes them look. And yet, I cannot figure out why a little change in color would make such a difference, but it does.

middle eastern ppl try to be lighter..especially women.. women get permament whitening for their complexions.. int he middle east a woman should be lighter because that means she does not labor outside in the sun like a man does... you wouldnt catch a middle easterner trying to tan lol.. it depends on the culture and what beauty is considered to be...
