The most common mental disorder in TA.

And in Perú?

Is there an 'indian pride' or similar?

Proud to be Inca, The Incas were an amazing civilization...

lol not at all, maybe a couple fo progres but most indios are ashamed to be indios and the mestizos act like Lie-redo: they pretend to be whiter than they really are and always mention their spanish roots, family, background but never the indian.

The core types of TA members, in no particular order:

Social
Political
Racial

For example, a history buff might belong to any of the above 3 core types.

Likewise, a social butterfly might be considered a racial member if his or her wings are more Reich than they are pretty.

Do you think it's fair that I mentioned you as one of the 'maniacs' of the endless discussions about lightness and darkness?

Maybe more so when Sikeliot was around, now not really.

Do you think I'm maniac too?

No.

This is a thing dating way back before Euro colonialism and you can find it (almost) everywhere around the globe. It`s simply because the aristocracy or higher members of societies/cultures/tribes tend to have less tanned skin, because they dont have to work in the sun all day. So the common census: lighter skin = noble or higher status.

That may explain the fixation many have on light skin, but not the proliferation of other surgeries like double-eyelid surgery, nose and lip reductions etc.

I thinks there's not a single reason: in most of Asia it's well known that the reason is the darker you are the lower your origins (peasant, farmer, etc) while the lighter you are your origins are supposed to be higher class/caste.

That's more in the Indian Subcontinent than other parts of Asia.

in Australia you had this "italian" member who was banned I think his user was Ctwentysevenj he never posted terroni and I think the adm of Italic Roots is some dude from the Bronx right?

I don't know who the IR admin is, but Ctwentysevenj/Aermacchi does sometimes post Terroni, provided they have blonde or red hair.

Do you think that is a good thing?

More generally, whereas many on the Right and increasingly Left as well worry about the psychological causes and effects of transgender surgery, rather less attention is paid to transracial surgery, even though the reasoning behind it is at least equally dubious.

Inferiority complex

[Universe]

People may cope (or even try to elevate their own status) by pointing other people's disorders/autism/whatever, but the thing is almost everyone here is kind of fucked up. I don't believe that any user who has 5k (let alone 10 or 15k) posts here is perfectly fine in real life. You could argue TAing is still better than playing computer games, but I find that debatable.

Do you think that is a good thing?

I don't have an opinion. I just observe, like Metron:
