people find it ugly in Caucasians because people think they can get tan.

I'm pretty pale but I don't care. I think I'm beautiful. My best friend is pale too and I think she's beautiful too. It really depends on the person. And I WILL NOT go tanning!! It's healthier to sit in the sun

In china it's still considered to be very beautiful to have pale skin. I know that because a very pale friend of mine went to china and the people she were hanging out with were like, "how come your skin is so pale it's so pretty" which was a unusual experience for her.

It used to be considered attractive to be overweight and have pale skin because it meant that you were wealthy enough not to have to work outside in the hot sun for a living

What's weird is that for white people, darker is considered more beautiful, and for people of color, usually the lighter skin color is desired. I'm Italian, so I have dark, Mediterranean skin and that is considered more beautiful than my mother's skin because she is a very pale Italian, but my friends who are black and latino find it ugly that they have dark skin...it's all too confusing!
