(703) Mirror mirror on the wall


Consider:

1. A thirteen year old Indian girl who powdered her face until she looked like moldy chocolate.
2. An Indonesian maid who over applied whitening cream until her skin ended with blotches.
3. Thai soap opera is populated with fair skin Amerasian stars.
4. Malay maidens who marry light skin Chinese to begat fair skin kids.


There seems to be a regional desire to appear white. Was it because South East Asians look up to their former colonial masters as being somewhat superior to them?
