an observation




For a nation with a history of rather shoddy treatment of dark-skinned people, America sure seems to like tanning.

B/c Bronze = "OK" whereas Brown = "OMG! They're gonna take my job and try to date my lil pumpkin!"

I have never heard a white person refer to themselves as "bronze", except when using the phrase "bronzed god" (which, I must admit, I've used myself). This issue has bugged me since I was a kid. It takes very little color to "taint" someone's blood (I did a significant part of my growing up in Oklahoma, by the way), yet in the summer, brown was somehow good for the skin. But only the skin.

Indeed, people love to tan but to go too dark is the equivalent of going full retard...
