    Default (1) Do you think dark skin is inherently ugly? (2) At which point do you consider skin to be 'dark'?

    Judging by the posts I read in this forum, it seems that at least 40-50% of users would answer 'yes' to the first question, while ironically it is the second question that seems to generate more debate.

    (1) No
    (2) Depends on the population of the person asked. Many Brits for example, consider anyone with tanned skin "dark"
