Here in Dubai there is a LOT of this skin bleaching going on since it is such a racist society. The part I seriously don't get is (and crucify me for making a blanket statement), aren't black people on the eternal mission to get RID of chalky skin? It looks weird, zomby'ish, and unhealthy. Staying out of the sun is one thing (and MANY women walk around with umbrellas every day), but applying chemicals to your skin is something completely different. The worst cases of it I see are the Filippina women who bleach their skin. It makes them look like they have Downs Syndrome. I'm always biting my tongue to keep from asking if it's actually worse to look dark than retarded. Arabs can pull it off reasonably well, making themselves look Jewish (and again, is this a good alternative in their minds?), but South Asians most definitely cannot.

Please expound on this so we can know what you're talking about.

But it's fine to insult people with intellectual disabilities and Jewish people? :(

While I think she was saying that the Arabs in question would object to 'looking Jewish' there's really no excuse for the Down's comment.

Especially with so many on this thread exhibiting Downs mental capacity. It's just not right.

You know how every time you post something, someone tells you to fuck off? Fuck off.

You suggested someone give a hangar to his girlfriend as an abortion joke. You're a fucking asshole. We get it. Go be one on your fratty sites where it's cool to make jokes about rape, disabilities, or gender. (Also you can't keep your damn story about your membership straight, so go do that elsewhere too.)

^^^ Is that a real picture or some kind of joke shot?

She looks like she has vitiligo.

I never noticed that people with Down's Syndrome had their own skin tone......
