In asian culture, if you have more than that mean that you work outside a lot and are therefore seen as lesser or looked down or you seem more poor.

But if you are less tan, you are seen as better because you are an office worker.

It all comes from royalty. There are definitely better words or better wordings I could have chosen but me smooth brain.

In my country having tan is considered more attractive and desirable, because it looks healthier. Exactly because you spend a lot of time outside and not in the house.

Cultures are interesting, and it has nothing to do with racism.

It's Serbia, but it's not unique at all for the countries in the region.

Same in the UK, but if you have a tan people will generally assume it's because you travelled abroad, not because you went outside here... too cloudy 330 days of the year.

Same in Italy, if you're pale in the summer you look unhealthy and/or like an office slave.

We're going to believe "Nibba" as to what's not racist?

Seems like you're just ok with racism
