It's cringeworthy when people blame this on colonialism, this has been happening centuries before they even knew Europeans existed.

There was whitening cream before 320 B.C?

Add or take a few. Natural mixtures, not chemicals.

Pretty sure the preference for light skin predates colonialism though.

Right. Traditional theater players also cover their face with white paint. I had a chance to watch one.

I usually think that white people are not quite interested in skin whitening because they are 'white' enough. Maybe that's why I don't see too many products of this kind in the USA. And as for black people, normal skin white cream won't make too much different, unless they try strong formula; but I think that would be wired as this is just like bleaching. So, such kind of skin whitening cream may only be suitable for yellow people - most from Asia.

Because they understand white race is the most attractive and try to assimilate with them.

Do only white people have light skin?

I literally know a girl who used to get bullied for being too pale.
