I'm white and we use to think and still think getting a tan was health, it makes you look good. But some people go overboard about it. I don't lay out in the sun, So I looked two-toned, I work out in my yard alot. I'm scared to get skin cancer, my mom has had Basel cell and my father ended up dieing from melanoma he got like 25 years ago. My dad was not white, he had this nice olive complexion. Me, I use to always lay out and try to get a tan but now I just don't think being a sun goddess is best for me. I just really like to tan, it had nothing to do with being white or trying to be someone I was not. It just looked good to have a tan in the summer.

I know, it's hypocritical isn't it? Subconsciously, it's like the white supremacy thing, so their excuse is that it's just for half of the year that they tan. I'm saying historically it's been like that. And, now it's so ingrained in their heads that they need to have tan bodies April-September that they just do it.

oh come on people. white people tan because it just looks healthier than pastey see through skin. if youre really pale you can see veins and hairs through the skin and it looks bad. no one is tanning to try to get black skin.

wow some people really hate white people. thats pretty sad of you. we tan because it looks good on our skin tone. it doesnt mean we're not happy with what we are. and if you tan it doesnt mean ur trying to look like a different race. thats just stupid. you still look white, just a little different.

The only reason I am as tan as I am is because I swim in my pool to much in the Summer`s heat.

because we look toner when we're tan and skinner, i'm 24 and i don't go out in the sun anymore because i don't want wrinkles, why do a lot of black people like being light skinned? and think there better then dark skinned blacks?
