the state of the guy on the left 😆
Even though it is getting kak hot, I would still wear that awesome gear on the right, might just trade the black out for white though, cant imagine having wear black that absorbs heat like that.
and the guy on the left, he is actually wearing underwear over his coat... wtf
It seems that coat is also shorts...
It's subversion
In Asia if you have tanned skin. They deem you undesired. Thinking only people who work fields have tanned skin.
where you going with this @BraaiBroodjie
lol
Isn't it stange how somthing is deemed socially acceptable and deemed desired. In one part of the world and on another part of the world it is the exact opposite
Mhmm
@Rendier are you going to post some peter howes articles on that domain?
Yeah, the beauty standards in Asian nations is interesting. Quite extreme in some cases.
@ZombieQueen is Alabama like a dukes of hazard movie
Sometimes
It really depends on the people you hang around lol.
I understand the reasoning behind the skin tone desire\classification in Asian cultures, I just can't understand why white people at least..American white people still think it's attractive to have grody looking tan, damaged skin.. Just..ew.. @BraaiBroodjie
I dont see how thats strange really, different ideals and values, from different regions and environments... Like you not gonna find a sun burnt oke in the poles either, so I dunno why it's strange to you Broodjie
white people have more diversity, skin tones, eye color and hair color
I can understand if a white person is naturally tanned..or is mixed with another race, but actively tanning, spray tans, to achieve the tan look...I just find it fucking disgusting these days.
I was in the UK recently, the north (yorkshire/manchester) - Saw a lot of fake tans.
I think if people just stick to being natural + healhy, they look good.
I actually think the tan derives from the Mediterranean
the greeks and romans, must be some desire to conect with the roots of the west or something lol
I'm one of the most pale white people on earth bahaha I have an moon-glow instead of a tan. Lol
Like in South-Africa you can call a person of colour a Coloured and he won't mind. But try that in America
yeah PC culture really has been brewing in the states for a while lol
Here in America it was a popular thing to have "sun-kissed" looking skin (people ALWAYS overdo the tan, unfortunately) and they wanted blonde hair, parted a certain way, and blue eyes. Was a common desire in my school anyway..
i remember long while back how americans freaked out about defining blacks as black, and coloureds as coloureds lol, was really strange that, i can agree with that
sounds like what the furher wanted
Indeed lol
lol
is it okay to even call blacks blacks in America? Do you say African American?
Comes down to subversion
We used to say African American, but some people are still offended by that because they consider themselves fully American
yeah, I'd agree. Why not fully american.
I guess it might be just to narrow their race down
I just consider people what they look like..Black, White, Brown..
See that makes sense, it's the same how i consider myself african, born and bred here too, fed by the food that was grown in this soil... i can relate to black americans regarding that. I am called european but I have no european passport and not even recognized by eurrope as european
i consider people as Nice or assholes
Black americans are so far removed from Africa... Makes no sense to call them African American
@Apollo What do u consider me ;)
