a lady at our table was in tears, because she was pregnant, and she wanted more than anything for the child to be as fair-skinned as possible. She explained that regardless of what "they" say, Hispanic parents secretly want the lightest skin tone possible.
Very common in Asia too. There is a big business in selling "white skin cream".
Though in Asia, it is mainly because darker skin is associate with people who have to work outside, like the manual labor people.
That is why it is pretty common still to see people walking around with sun umbrellas or at least avoiding the sun as much as possible. It was strange when I first come to the US to see people doing the opposite - trying to be in the sun to get as dark as possible.

TG - maybe that's why Asian ladies are so pretty, they don't let the sun touch their skin? Perfect complexions in my view.

In other news of the woke, the host of The Bachelor, where a group of women compete to win the affections of a guy, is being canceled. He defended one of the contestants after some pictures came out of her having attended an "antebellum" party, where presumably the partiers dress up as antebellum southerners. The funny thing is that the bachelor this season is African American. (The girl is white.)

What is even better is the rumor is that the bachelor dude picked the antebellum girl. And then threw her under the bus when the controversy surfaced.

It's hard to imagine contestants in The Bachelor being so selfish and shallow.
I was only joking

Except progressive pop culture has normalized this “selfish and shallow” response. Or maybe enforced it through threat of social expulsion.

I'd say that shows such as The Bachelor do more - they positively celebrate the selfish and superficial
