Italy.

What this has to do with OP's question is, well, a bit unclear.

This is what hydroquinone and other whitening agents do. They make the user’s skin thinner and thinner until the person is unable to handle even basic sun exposure without severe damage. All this just to look like mockeries of whites. I say this as an Korean from Seoul, okay? Let’s not pretend this isn’t what it is.

To be fair, we should all have those on at the beach for sun safety.

LOL! A hat and sun screen will work just as well. They wear the balaclava for the style. Asians, S. Koreans especially, are very chic and style conscious.

And plastic surgery including lasers that increase sun sensitivity are very popular and trendy. S. Korea is the Asian capital for plastic surgery. Lots of Asians travel there for it. Again, nothing to do with wanting to "look white", they just want to look better as Asians.

FYI, white people are not considered particularly chic or trendy and not looked upon as a style icon.

Lol you 2 are delusional. Get back down to earth.

Asia's growing market
But when it comes to these products, the Asia-Pacific market is the most lucrative region, making up more than half of the global market -- an estimated $7.5 billion out of $13.3 billion -- in 2017, according to Future Market Insights, which studies markets in over 150 countries. China accounts for about 40% of sales in Asia, Japan 21% and Korea approximately 18%.
"In East Asian culture, women prefer lighter skin tone because they believe 'y? bái zh? b?i ch?u,' which means 'a white complexion is powerful enough to hide seven faults,' " said Shuting Hu, who researches new ingredients for whiteners, looking at the mechanism in skin cells at the molecular level. She is executive director and co-founder of SkinData Limited Hong Kong, a technology startup based on her research at the University of Hong Kong.
And, as Lodhi found in childhood, darker skin signified more than just a mark against beauty.

"In many societies, especially in Asia, skin color was long seen as a sign of social class," said Evelyn Nakano Glenn, a University of California, Berkeley, professor of gender and women's studies and ethnic studies. "With Western colonial incursions during the 18th and 19th century, the light skin of European colonizers became a marker of higher status, while the darker skin of Asians/Filipinos became a marker of colonial subjugation."
Rachit Kumar of Future Market Insights added that "the demand is expected to continue to grow despite their potential health dangers. Asian consumers are highly concerned regarding their beauty and hence tend to spend more on such products, particularly the current generation of consumers in their teens who tend to have a significant beauty budget."
Kumar attributes the rise in demand in Asia to these consumers, who are "ready to spend millions of dollars in order to enhance their overall appearance."
Cosmetic manufacturers are launching skin-lightening products on a regular basis in order to cash in on this lucrative business.
Hu herself has tried most of the skin whiteners on the market, using them to treat acne marks or to even out her skin tone after a tan, she said. But she also grew up under pressure to be fairer.
"When I was very young, my parents, my friends and the superstars on TV all deliver a message that a whiter skin tone is pretty. So in this culture, you will be influenced and be one of them," she said. "Personally I don't want to be whiter, just keep healthy skin. Only after suntan, I want to be whiter, back to my original skin tone."
However, she adds that many products need to keep up to date with research.
"Most of the whiteners are using outdated, at least to me, active ingredients," she said. "So personally, I prefer to try something new and novel."

^yes.. as stated, because historically, the ruling class had whiter skin. Maybe educate yourself on the culture before you post?

Because the food is amazing.

only because of all the immigrants.... but, also they come here because it's easier here. It's not *as* competitive. But this has nothing to do with this thread or Asian beauty.

That social class excuse today is bs. If that were true then you would see billions being spent on skin bleaching in other countries where whites also were the ruling class which is almost all over the world. How about you educate and research before you post? Skin whitening, eyelid surgery, face tape, nose thinning. I don't see any other country going to that extreme to look white.

Koreans in Korea will consider her white. She was born and raised in the US. She’s culturally White.

Is this Korea? No.

In the US, people self identify. She considers herself Asian American.

Unfortunately, in the US, you are categorized based on your skin color or features, so if you look more Asian, you will not be considered "white", except as someone stated, it's convenient for white people to consider the half Asian as white.

Who are these "white people" who do that, and why is it convenient for them?

Not the PP, but I'm assuming they're suggesting that white people don't want to list their kids as Asian, since full Asian kids in this area often have really high test scores--and so their half-Asian kid with lower test scores would be at a disadvantage, relatively speaking.

This. My half-Asian kid is a genius compared to his white peers, but would be middle of the pack against his Asian peers. Fortunately, he looks totally white, so he’s considered white and not Asian.

The child will be considered what the child looks, which may or may not match the child’s self-identification.

A lot of half-white/half-Asian people seem to be really eager to be considered white. But if you look Asian, people will consider you Asian.

.


Please. I have bi racial kids and consider them more Asian but realize growing up in the states they will self identify more as mainstream white. While living abroad in a major Asian city I encountered tons of biracial kids at my intl school and they preferred identifying as Asian which was the main race in the country where they lived.

Which “major Asian city” did you live in? I taught at international schools in three major Asian cities and the desire to be white was ubiquitous in all three. You’re trying to play on what you figured would be ignorance of Asia.

Seoul. What does desire to be white even freaking mean?

People may think their kids do, but you can always tell there's a little something else mixed with those white genes. I've even seen it with kids who are 1/4 Asian.

You haven’t seen mine. They’re half white/half South Asian. I’m guessing bc South Asians can also be Caucasian, the only thing needed was a color switch to make them white. I must have the least dominant genes ever.

White people like to believe this, but no. Speaking as an African, light skin was never valued in virtually any of our cultures until you criminals came along.

Nope totally aware. However your ignorance clearly shows. Europeans settled in my family's country yet no darker person resorts to skin bleaching or white powder because people perceive it to be better. Sunblock is as far as they go for light skin. No girls trying this.
