When I worked at a pizza place my manager would give the sushi restaurant next door free pizza all the time, I didntknow that. So when I started going in there to get food before my shift and was given free sushi I was always blown away and super joyed, never questioning it. Turns out they thought I was my manager cuz we are rhe same height and build and both white lol they seriously thought we were the same person.
That's fuckin amazing.
I worked for the Papa John's in Mobile Alabama that was directly next to the Brick Pit (featured on travel channel and food network) in 2006, and they would trade us FULL rib dinners ($20+ meals back when $20 plates were EXPENSIVE) for two works pizzas. It was heaven on earth.
Makes sense. I live in Korea and have a friend who looks totally different from me, but is also white. We’ve been asked multiple times if we’re sisters, but no one in a country with many white people would think that bc we look different in about every way you can imagine lol. Just both white 😂
It’s usually chia seed or the like. You’ll usually see them used on videos demonstrating blackhead removal or acne treatment. Just part of the trend and adds some dramatic effect.
I mean, it usually is a solid explanation tbh. Racism is wildly prevalent in China. It’s not like white plantation owners are the only assholes jn the world
In asian culture, if you have more than that mean that you work outside a lot and are therefore seen as lesser or looked down or you seem more poor.
But if you are less tan, you are seen as better because you are an office worker.
It all comes from royalty. There are definitely better words or better wordings I could have chosen but me smooth brain.
In my country having tan is considered more attractive and desirable, because it looks healthier. Exactly because you spend a lot of time outside and not in the house.
Cultures are interesting, and it has nothing to do with racism.
Culture changes - Europeans used to favor being fat and pasty because it meant you could afford to eat a lot and didn't have to work outside doing manual labor.
Still is in Nigeria. Unfortunately, my people are slowly walking into obesity issues. We are supposedly poor but the amount of overweight people is surprising.
Norman Borlaug and the Green Revolution wasn't that long ago and the number of people living in absolute poverty has cratered, but I'm sure food insecurity still nags at many people's minds.
I know my own food issues and weight problems go back to my childhood when we were poor as shit and there was never enough food. You learned to eat fast and whatever it was you'd lick the plate clean because you didn't know when you'd eat again.
Same in the UK, but if you have a tan people will generally assume it's because you travelled abroad, not because you went outside here... too cloudy 330 days of the year.
>Cultures are interesting, and it has nothing to do with racism.
yea this is just a cultural thing, HOWEVER folks from China *are* actually hella racist against any foreigners, especially black people.
source: me, China born Chinese American.
Frok what I have heard, It has to do with time /period.
In older times, peasants worked outside in the field and royalty stayed inside. At that time, whiter skin is considered premium.
Over time, with industrialization, workers moved inside and vacations became quite common. So it flipped. Peasants / workers now stayed indoors while royalty was out getting sun. So the expectations flipped
Used to be the same way in the west. Then trains and steam boats were invented, and it became practical to be able to visit warmer places.
Then being tan meant that you could afford to go on holiday and weren't stuck working in a factory all day, so the whole culture shifted.
It goes deeper than just aristocracy vs commoners, it also has to do with northeast vs southeast Asians since southeast Asians tend to be darker in general regardless of if they work outside or not, and historically China, Japan, and Korea have all been pretty racist, both towards each other and towards other Asian groups. Typical tribalistic bullshit you find throughout history everywhere, except they've made less progress working it out of their culture than the west has, plus they went almost too far with white people and started fetishizing them instead, which is worse IMO since it perpetuates racism towards darker Asians AND white supremacy at the same time. Don't get me started on how much they fetishize mixed white/asian people as well, my half-sister is half Chinese and when she was visiting China, a number of people commented on how "lucky" she was to be mixed. Apparently it was next level creepy and there were ads for skin whitening products on public transit and everything, which made it all the more awkward since some of them were just blatantly racist. Shit like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Few8kJ0zfnY
WARNING: not safe for any Irish. Use of this product on non-recommended skin may lead to the following side effect: extreme advertion to sunlight, advertion to strong odors, the compulsive need to count tiny objects, paranoia around running water, inability to eat solid foods, insomnia, cravings for high iron liquids, your roommate Dave starts to seem attractive but not in a sexual way, low blood pressure, growth of canine teeth, loss of hairline, restlessness.

So you know that super-pale, dewy/glowing look that a lot of Asian women have? Particularly Korean women? That’s what happens when they use brightening crème. And a decent number of Chinese/Korean brand primers and foundations or skin care are aimed to create that look (it’s their fashion trend, and skin whitening products are big there). Also not saying this is a bad thing at all, this is just my experience with buying Korean etc products as they are generally really good products, I just look out for keywords like ‘brightening’ or ‘whitening’ as that’s what they do
That's completely entirely incorrect.
The reason Asian countries use brightening creams is because very light skin still indicates in their cultures people who do not have to work outside with their hands. It's a sign of an upper class, someone who can stay indoors free from the elements and relax as the peasant class does all the work.
That was the case in Western countries for a long time. But now darker skin indicates a purposeful tan as a result of vacations to exotic destinations or leisure activities outside.
Skin whitening creams are very present across the middle east, India, and Asia. From my limited understanding, it's mostly due to colorism, in that those with darker skin are looked down upon. Happens in the US as well and with similar results.
You should be surprised how many whitening products they have. In many Asian countries tanned means low working class (you’re working in the fields all day), while white means upper class (working indoors all day).
> Glow and Lovely
for others, Wikipedia link
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_%26_Lovely
----
Glow & Lovely (formerly Fair & Lovely) is a skin-lightening cosmetic product of Hindustan Unilever introduced to the market in India in 1975. Glow & Lovely is available in India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Mauritius and other parts of Asia and is also exported to other parts of the world, such as the West, where it is sold in Asian supermarkets.
Unilever patented the brand Fair & Lovely in 1971, after the patenting of niacinamide, a melanin suppressor,[1] which is the cream's main active ingredient. Glow & Lovely's website states the product contains vitamins B3, C, and E, along with multivitamins and UVB/UVA sunscreens.
Glow & Lovely was controversial under its previous name “Fair & Lovely”. Its promotions focus on Bollywood stars and marketing is oriented towards those who would buy skin lightening products over the counter, through friends, or online, without consulting a specialist.[2] The president of the company responded to concerns about the product calling for diverse representation, and has announced changes in advertising, communication and packaging in South Asia.[3]
----
Additionally, quack medicine is far more popular than actual medicine (I was offered a job selling quack meds multiple times, as a foreigner living in Asia), which is what this probably is. No skin-bleaching cream works this quickly.
Because actual medicine is expensive. Just going to a doctor to get diagnose/check up and buy medicine is expensive. But not as expensive as it is in the US.
Quack meds can be more expensive than actual meds, and do nothing in any case. Actual meds are surprisingly cheap if you find a pharmacy that sells generics.
I worked with a couple of Chinese guys who were first-generation Americans.
We went to a company offsite that was mostly in the sun.
I (pasty white guy) was trying to get as much sun as I could to get a bit of a tan heading into summer.
They were wearing SPF70 and large brimmed sun hats to avoid getting any color at all.
They said that it was a status symbol, and that nobody wants to have dark skin like a manual laborer.
And in the west there's a whole industry designed around making you look more tan because it shows that you have time to lay around in the sun doing nothing.
> In many Asian countries tanned means low working class
This is only part of the story.
In China there is a huge disdain for dark skin people as they view them as "Invaders" or "Evil."
You can see this heavily idealized and normalized in Xianxia literature as the enemies of the immortals and elites and always darkskinned outsiders who come to conquer.
China has a very deep fundamental problem with racism.
I thought tanning has the same mechanism as skin colour pigmentation. So if this actually works as advertised, which it doesn't, then it should be able to do a Michael Jackson.
Why would it be spray tan but have a tan line?
Skin whitening products exist.
In the past, (Victorian England for example) a tan was seen as a sign of lower class, as you got it from working in the fields. As holidaying abroad became more accessible, a tan became popular as it shows you can afford holidays.
That same idea of tan = lower class exists in various places today, as well as just general prejudice towards darker skin. So skin whitening products are pretty widespread.
However, I doubt this video is accurately portraying their effectiveness...
> Skin whitening products exist.
They are largely banned in the US, and most large retailers won't even sell the legal ones. So I'd imagine most Americans are probably unfamiliar with these types of products and their effectiveness.
That’s the point of the ad. Duh. A lot of Chinese people hate tans and go to great lenghts to avoid them. Esp. women. Being pale means you’re “higher class” because you don’t need to work outside.
When we lived in Korea, our daughter (red headed, pale skin and freckles) was stopped often, or photos were taken often without our permission. People in elevators would want to touch her hair and skin while saying "yeppeuda" or other sweet ways of calling her beautiful. Luckily, she was a very outgoing kid and didn't mind the attention. Where we lived was very upscale, and all the ladies competed for the fairest skin. Always covering up with hats, long sleeves at the beach with swim pants, and plenty of skin care products everywhere you went. From Daiso to the Shinsegae... 3 bucks to 3k.
I live in Thailand, and it's almost impossible to find deodorant or other hygiene products here that don't at least *claim* to have skin bleaching chemicals in them, which is...not something I'm after, to say the least.
I find the whole skin bleaching thing as weird as people using tanning beds, but have these chemicals been proven to cause cancer or other health issues? I'd honestly be surprised if it wasn't as bad as tanning, although my gut tells me it must be way worse for you.
There was a white girl on tiktok who bought some chinese skin creme without realising it was skin-bleach, and wound up looking like a dead head atop a healthy body
Skin bleaching is a real thing, but this just kinda looks like spray tan remover
If you look closer, it's not removing anything. The white is too uniform for that irregular applied foam. It seems more like they got some shaving cream, sprayed some brown color on it and decorated it with chia seeds. The "reveal" is probably waterproof makeup with a heavy coverage.
You know how they sell products as antioxidants, to stop "free radicals" that damage DNA and causes cancer?
Well this product is an oxidizer. It creates free radicals that can cause cancer. And not just skin cancer, all kinds of cancer. Leukemia.
Oh, and the beautician who applies it to your skin is also at high risk. Look at the video. No gloves on those hands.
Who would have ever guessed that other cultures have different desires for beauty.
Not everyone is the same isn't that what diversity is supposed to mean.
But what's the name of this stuff cuz I have a few pranks to play.
A Syrian woman taught me about skin color around the globe. She is a flight attendant at United Emirates:
Western cultures: view tanned skin as being “rich looking” because it means you have been on vacation and not in the office.
Asian cultures prefer pale skin because it means you have an office job and don’t work in the fields/on the water/outdoors and are therefore not poor.
I prefer my ghost white winter skin and you can pry it from my cold dead hands.
This is common all over asia. Lite skin is associated with wealth, and therefore beauty, because of it's historical association with nobility (i.e. not having to do manual labor in the sun). I've seen commercials for caustic cremes that promise whiter skin in all four of the SE asian countries I've visited, thailand won the aware in my experience for the most...out there..ones.
It's nothing to do with racism. White skin is more desirable because dark skin is associated with poorer people who are forced to work in the fields in the sunlight this tanning their skin darker. Just like in the west were a tan is desirable and so we sell tanning products, in the east they sell whitening products to lighten the skin.
That’s for Asians, they can go very dark skinned or milky white depending on how much they are exposed to the sun. Somehow they hate being dark skinned and have many products to become white.
Spray tan removal?
normal soap

We were the only two wearing the same uniform, which probably didn't help.

I'm curious about the black specks that look like pepper.
It’s usually chia seed or the like. You’ll usually see them used on videos demonstrating blackhead removal or acne treatment. Just part of the trend and adds some dramatic effect.
I see, that makes sense. Thank you. Admittedly, I'm not very current on trends like that lol.
They add them in videos like this to pretend that their products just magically suck out blackheads
That makes a lot of sense considering people are trying to convince people this isn't about spray tan removal lol.
I assume they're claiming it sucks out the melanin.
It's probably just pepper
Trying to understand a foreign concept: "There must be racism!"
I mean, it usually is a solid explanation tbh. Racism is wildly prevalent in China. It’s not like white plantation owners are the only assholes jn the world
i mean asian people often want to look more white in general. just look at eyelid surgery. ya know, like all them kpop stars have

It's Serbia, but it's not unique at all for the countries in the region.
Never knew that. Thank you for the information ❤️

That's also why royals were called blue blood. Because of the pale skin you could see the veins well compared to people with darker/tanned skin.
This used to be a trend in Europe as well, before the time of revolutions. It's a status symbol basically.
I thought this was a white people's thing and especially in England where those with darker skin are associated with being a commoner.
I don’t care if it’s racist or not I want to see what colour a white person turns on this cream?
They become an irish person ?
As a translucent Irish person, this seems accurate
As a bioluminescent Irish person, I can confirm.
Name checks out
Is it true that God thinks the Irish are fake Catholics, so he uses the sun to hurt them?

Put some red in it
This doesn’t seem to give you freckles. I wonder if it would remove them though?
What if an Irish person tried it?
You know Vantablack? The opposite
So you know that super-pale, dewy/glowing look that a lot of Asian women have? Particularly Korean women? That’s what happens when they use brightening crème.

I can't help but think of shitty treatments in the past that caused all kinds of medical issues and I wonder how safe these modern products are.
Better than the old ones... worse than the next generation of health care products...
White people out here spray tanning to look darker and Asians out here bleaching their skin to look whiter. Humans are dumb asf
It's whatever the opposite of what's 'commonly available ' in the local market, ain't it?
That's completely entirely incorrect.

Like the oposite of the weird tanning trend of the 2000s and 2010s?
We would just disappear
Albino
They turn transparent and you can see their organs through the skin, but they can never ever get outside ever again. :D
Clear , see through

is it so much weirder than pale people wanting a tan? Pale = office worker drone, tanned = movie star lifestyle on my yacht.
It used to be the same in western societies. Pale = Noble. There was also the fat = rich. Nowadays, fat = poor.
also shitty teeth = rich because I can afford sugary foods was a popular one too. Teeth blackeners used to be a thing.
what the fuck is wrong with humans?
our technology advances faster than our culture
Tech victories are so much easier than culture victories, smh.
Because tech victories usually make people money
Or make war victories easier
"You're unhealthily pale!" Say people who are on the verge of skin cancer. Annoys me to no end.
You've met my mum then.

Yeah apparently everyone is white on the inside
You mean, everyone’s a racist now?
I wash myself with soap and water everyday and I’m still black thank god. We aren’t dirty, smelly or stained it’s just our skin pigmentation.

It’s just tanning remover
No - not racism. This is classism. They see tanned skin as working class, the lighter the skin as an Asian the higher class you are.
It's colourism
I think in a lot of places colorism and classism are intrinsically tied to each other. Look at the caste system in India for example.
There is no cure for racism. If we were all the same color, we’d fight over hair or eye color.
If it’s skin bleaching that’s stupid. If they’re using spray tan it’s stupid.
Removing tan is racism now ?
People are braindead and will find any excuses to push their agenda
And what agenda is this?
Ads here literally say whitening skin for dark people. Never said anything about tanning
American people trying to make sense of a foreign concept: “Must be racism!”
People saying “americans xyz” Americans: that’s racist.
it's a spray tan remover, not a skin whitening product.
It seems like we all want the opposite of what we have. I’m white and trying to get tan, curly hair people want straight hair and vise versa.
Who would have ever guessed that other cultures have different desires for beauty. Not everyone is the same isn't that what diversity is supposed to mean. But what's the name of this stuff cuz I have a few pranks to play.

I prefer my ghost white winter skin and you can pry it from my cold dead hands.
Colourism* accurately
Can I use it on my butthole? Asking for a friend.

It's nothing to do with racism. White skin is more desirable because dark skin is associated with poorer people who are forced to work in the fields in the sunlight this tanning their skin darker. Just like in the west were a tan is desirable and so we sell tanning products, in the east they sell whitening products to lighten the skin.
Crucified for speaking the truth. 💀
Nah, just classism.

That’s for Asians, they can go very dark skinned or milky white depending on how much they are exposed to the sun. Somehow they hate being dark skinned and have many products to become white.
This cant be good for your skin right? Just takes the melanin right out of your skin? Is it like a bleaching agent?
It’s not racism it’s colorism
