If your response to this is "Do not police what people do with their bodies," I understand. If your response is, "that's not your place to talk about it," I understand. Please share those thoughts.

Being an extremely light-skinned person with a black parent, I'm often disgusted when I hear black kids berate one another for being dark. Having said that, if I try to act like I know better than them that's going to sound ridiculous coming from me. I keep it to "be respectful and don't play into stereotypes others have imposed on you."

Beyond issues of disrespect, there's not too much to say. If you try to say that society values their darker color, well, that isn't true. They will face increased discrimination if they don't do it. The problem is not the kids wanting the product, the problem is everything that led up to them wanting it.

If it's OK for a woman to transition into a man, why is it not OK for a black person to transition into a white person? What would the arguments be if you could take a course of drugs to change your skin colour from black to white or vice versa?

:can:

Just close the can again, you know this is an asinine question.
