Tan Youth
why is it that Filipinos really like white pale thing?
I see this in the media a lot back there. There are creams and products to make you white and such, but why can't people just get treat equally like the way others are just because of skin color? I do notice that artistas there are all "maputi", to be honest, I think the media should accept more of what represents filipinos and to a fact that not all filipinos there are white and have this "american/ I-am-mix" look. When I was there, I know a bunch girls who were tan as I am and would spend P1000 over whitening products and bleaching. I think the media in the philippines influences a lot of the way the youth is today, its like they control them or something.
I wish only that the youth would open up and just be themselves rather than whats on tv.
The media influence the people a lot as it is where we base our standards of what is "beautiful" as a society.
It has something to do with colonial mentality too that started in the Hispanic times of the Philippines. People with Spanish race with fair skin were labeled to be elitists and that that the people with brown skin received a lot of discrimination and are unable to get reputation which was as good as the people with fair skin. That started the idea and the coming of America to the Philippines added to the stereotype.
In this country, it is only these days that somehow, brown is accepted as beautiful as you can find some actors and actresses with such a color of skin unlike during the silent pictures era that people mixed with another race were the only remarkable actresses.
In the 1970's, Rey Valera, a top singer-composer in the Philippines wasn't allowed to be shown on TV and that whenever he had a promotion on a TV station, he was just singing at the backstage.
To add to your answer, there is a standard of what is beautiful in every country and most likely, this would be the things the people of the country don't have in general. In Western countries, brown is cool because it is not the natural color of the people. In the Philippines, people think white is cool because it is not our color as real Filipinos.
Since the media in the Philippines have a big influence to the youth, I think it should be the media changing its way of influencing the young. Therefore, there must be a rise of new actors and actresses with qualities that we call "our own"... This will definitely vary ideas of people in the future about beauty standars....
