Skin bleaching is a world-wide problem that plagues peoples lives in a desperate need to become lighter skinned or as some will say to become ''better looking''
Many people have inferiority complex or issues with their skin pigmentation under this White supremacist regime, but some people go much further to actually physically change their skin complexion.
The association with lighter skin with wealth, prestige and power in the modern reinforces old colonial ideas of White pale skin meaning better than browner skin. As Humans we strive for wealth, prestige and power this is apart of our Human nature to become successful however this yearn for successful as become perverted. In many parts of Asia and Africa many skin care products contain ingredients such as Hydroquinone, mercury and peroxide! These ingredients are cancerous and will damage the skin to the point of no return all in the aid of what?
To curb this epidemic there must be mass re-education or un-learning of the world's beauty standard which is incredibly Eurocentric. A simple click of the mouse will direct you to here where you can buy thousands of skin lightening products that will damage your skin while further becoming brainwashed into this backwards ideology!
Another click of the mouse will send you to Youtube where again, you can find thousands if not Millions of videos on skin lightening tutorials.

On the flip side White people who tan their skin do not want to look darker skinned they don't want to be Indian or West African they simply want a tan. The tan is temporary unlike many people who bleach their skin want to keep it that way. The fundamental difference is that they don't have a inferiority complex when it comes to their skin complexion.

To answer the comment the reason why you don't understand is because you don't understand psychology. Many (not all) people who bleach their skin don't like their skin pigmentation and they want to lighter skins or be closer to looking European. This again is due to the effects of colonialism and white supremacy ideology onto that individual. The mentally of darker skinned people feeling inferior or inadequate compared to White Europeans is a long history that dates back to the colonial period - though India also had a caste system based on skin colour.''I never understood why it was okay for white people or races of lighter skin to get spray tans to be darker but it was such a big deal for people of darker skin to want to make their skin lighter''

"Skin colour bias affects people psychologically. It affects how a child performs in school because their confidence level goes down: they feel they are not good enough. And when it comes to marriage, we again find skin colour plays such a vital role. We thought, 'Why are we keeping quiet about this? We should talk about this and see how people respond.''Except hardly no one talks about skin bleaching. Voice your opinions below; do you bleach your skin?
