The best selling cosmetics in Sinosphere (China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam), and other parts of the world, is the skin whitener. One of my Chinese student and his Mom went down Waikiki under their parasol and had the stare in their lives; I mean, why stroll down Waikiki if you are going to shade yourself from the sun? Racial prejudice is in the human psyche to stay for a while. I started calling my skin tone "beautifully brown" when someone tells me I had gotten darker. When in northeast China, I get sickly pale! Not to justify the prejudice, but the pro-IndoAryan sentiment is widespread in every continent and the "reality and tragedy" is something we will live with awhile while we subvert its underpinning. j'aime la vie yesterday, appreciate; tomorrow, anticipate; today, participate! in all, celebrate! -----Original Message----- From: via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> To: oe <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> Sent: Sat, Apr 18, 2015 3:16 am Subject: OE Digest, Vol 37, Issue 15 Send OE mailing list submissions to oe@lists.wedgeblade.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to oe-request@lists.wedgeblade.net You can reach the person managing the list at oe-owner@lists.wedgeblade.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of OE digest..."
