Do only white people have light skin?
Most woman in my father side have light skin and genuinely people bully you if you are too pale most European without fake tanning would be in too pale category.
I literally know a girl who used to get bullied for being too pale.

I think light skin =/= "white race" even japanese paint their faces with white cream or paint as the geishas for example, they paint their faces with white paint. I dont think light skin preference means you want to be european.

I think skin flaws and illnesses are easier visible on pale skin. Like moles, birth marks, even acne etc. I think very dark black skin, is very attractive too.
