i seriously have no clue. my best advice is to just ignore those contradictory people and continue to fight for equal rights and tolerance towards everyone. its a shame that there are so many people in this world that talk trash about a person with a diffrent skin color then go get a tan and come out almost the exact same color as the person they trashed and think that they themselves are hot. i get dissed alot for being a "punk" if only people could look beyond dress, religion, race, and color.

well coming from a white girl, those people are just plain ignorant. i myself go tanning, not to literallty change my skin color but to get a tan ,a base tan before the summer, cause ya know white people do burn in the sun. and i think there is a big difference from being tan and bronzed, from being brown. i personally am happy with being my true pasty white self in the winter, but bet your *** when summer rolls around im hitting the tanning salon. no one wnats to see some pasty white skin on the beach. ya feel what im tryin to say.

First of all ,not all white people are the same ,secondly,white is not a color but, more of a culture thing,third,anyone that talks "smack" about other people because of their color ,race ,culture or any other bigoted thing that can hurt people,is generally a small minded individual,which of course we can assume that you are not like that at all,,,,right?

I'm czeck and in America they say i'm "white" and I tan really easily, and its not that I talk bad about another race cause I believe we were all born with the same rights and can set our own goals to acheive, its all about who you are and what you do with your life, not about what your parents did or the color of your skin. I just like to have color to me, I think it makes me cuter!?!

I don't know. I don't think that, that is fare. My boyfriend used to be racist and well, he did it to be part of a group. I don't go tanning, but you know everyone has there opinion. Sorry, for how people talk smack!

Dear, it's simply ignorance. They're risking killing themselves by getting skin cancer and melanoma to emulate a look that they supposedly hate...but I know a number of blacks who are prejudiced against darker blacks. Like a mom who wants her light skinned daughter to marry a light skinned man. And I know Chinese who see all other races as lesser, also. Somebody always wants to be better than somebody else. It's just artifice and sad idiocy.

Close mind people have reasons to justify their action no matter how contradictory they may seem to the rest of the world.
Not much you can do to change them, actually feel a little sorry for them. They don't seen to notice how totally foolish they look must of the time.

Here's my theory. It's not about the pigment, it's about the behavior. See, it's cultural, we just get it confused with pigment.
Example: white kid grows up in the barrio, acting "that way" is normal to him. Black kid grows up in the rich 'burbs with parents who are lawyers, is he an Oreo?
It's "where you're from" not "how much pigment"
Another example: Rednecks vs New York yuppies. California liberals vs Texas conservatives. Rice burners vs Harleys. Mets vs Sox. You can take it from here.

That's their right. To tan or not to tan. There is nothing wrong with wanting to get a tan.
