The reason for the preference for lighter skin is biological. Your body requires vitamin D to utilize Calcium(bones/teeth/etc). When a woman is pregnant and especially when she is breastfeeding, it drains her body of calcium and vitamin D and transfers it to the baby.
In tropical and subtropical zones, light skin leads to higher risks of sun burn and skin cancer.

I'm talking about biological or evolutionary preferences. There were no white women in Africa before a few hundred years ago because they all would have died out. But within a population, the biological preference is for a lighter-skinned woman, and for the reason I mentioned.
I heard recently that most Americans are vitamin D deficient, and for African Americans the number is much higher. Probably one of the reasons they have a higher death-rate for Covid-19.

I voted yes in the poll because with the nonsense we have been seeing these days, where a rope tied in a loop to aide in pulling down a garage door can be seen as a noose by the sensitive, or the mob can tear down and deface statues of abolitionists and others that fought against slavery, or suddenly words and names of things are super offensive like Aunt Jamima then yes a tan can be racist too.
The person that is attempting to darken their skin by getting a tan is actually guilty of cultural appropriation because they are trying to look like something they are not and trying to look like a brown person...
Biology is even more racist than me, and I'm the most racist person on this forum.
I'm the least racist and most separatist person on the forum. Nature wants separation, variety and diversity . That's why there's so much variety and diversity in living things. We should stop defying and fighting nature and work with it.
