We’re concerned about getting sunburned and tanned
Lighter skin=beautiful skin in China. Not a racist thing (at least in its origins) but classist: the poors had to go work in the sun all day.
I gather it used to be the same in Europe and the west, but then the poors ended up cooped up in their office jobs while the beautiful people could go on beach vacations, and suddenly tans were in.
