Are City Japanese women the only ones that can afford to keep their skin without tanning?

Question

I'm hispanic 26 years old male.
I'm alittle red because in california it's hot often, and when i was younger i would run outside. Also, my father is a gardener, and i help him sometimes and we would have to be outside in the sun doin labor all day.

I'm not like many white people who get tanned on purpose. Going to the beach and laying, or ging to tanning salons . I'm not that crazy. And i think looking super red and burned is not good.. so i wouldn't do that ever, and i wear caps and hats.. but it's hard to perfectly cover all the time.

Japanese women on the other hand, use umbrellas, and do all this stuff to keep their skin light. It's nice, but some of them really are obsessed because whenver they go outside they wear extra protection etc.. I don't think they would be able to keep that white if they had to do labor or if they wanted to jog or do some exercise outdoors. So are they pretty much the only ones cause their life is not as hard as others?

Answer 1

I'm half Japanese and it's hard for me to tan. But I keep covered up because I burn very easily and I don't want my skin to be wrinkly before it's time.

Answer 2

I'm a little unsure as to what you are asking. Japanese women are fair complected. That is just how they are. They don't have to do much to enurse that. I see very few actual Japanese women walking around using umbrellas or parasols. Some Japanese women actually use white make-up to lighten their faces. So, maybe that is what you're thinking of. But even the ones who do not use the white make-up are still light complected. Yes, many women do spend time outdoors but that doesn't mean they'll tan. There are many moisturizers with built in sunscreen. And all the women I see that work in the fields wear large hats, long sleeves and pants.

In a lot of Asian countries, light-skin is considered very much an asset. One point of this is, with light-skin, to them, there is much more variety and selection of clothes and make-up (color-wise).

I'm half SE Asian as well and most of my cousins on my Asian side are naturally tanned. They avoid the sun and sometimes use umbrellas too! They avoid going out when the sun is too bright outdoors and when they do, they try to be in the sun for a very short amount of time (accomplished by walking hella fast!) but I can say that despite all this avoiding the sun and trying to have light-skin, it doesn't, in any way, mean their life isn't hard. My cousins work very hard! School, their jobs, house chores (which yes, includes raking outdoors, emptying water buckets outdoors, hanging clothes outdoors, doing laundrey outdoors *laundrey by hand*) but in spite of that, they do keep their skin light simply by doing all these things certain hours of the day. For example, a lot do the outdoor stuff in the early mornings or simply when the sun isn't too bright. Going into shaded areas helps and just, that sort of thing.

Hope that helped, even just a little.

in some Asain cultures it isn't nice to have tan skin. It shows that you may be a farmer or have to do work on the outside instead of having a high degree in studies to be able to work inside an office. I know Korean ,women live for the lighter skin. That way it shows you have plenty of money to take care of yourself. And for sure you don't work in a field.

Answer 5

Maybe it's not so much an issue of an "easy life" as it is of a cultural bias toward protecting their skin from sun damage. We're slowly starting to catch on in the states. Lots of women are starting to buy makeup and lotions with an SPF in them.

Answer 6

Answer 7

That is a huge racial stereotype! There are plenty of Japanese women who work their @$$es off, too! So to answer your question, NO, Japanese women are not the only people who don't have a hard life, because (1) lots of them have very hard lives, and (2) people who live extremely easy, privileged lives come in all races.

Answer 8
