If being tan is considered attractive, are naturally tanned people attractive?

For Asian Americans, the "tan is bad" thing isn't black & white. Excuse the pun.

A lot of the time the HS/College students dress western, even if their parents or grandparents still look like they do their clothes shopping back in the old country.

And ... basic fashion conventions like blue jeans & khaki's are kinda specifically designed so you can't tell if someone is a recent immigrant or a born-here.

So...most people don't go out of their way to tan, and neither do most asians, but that definitely DOESN'T mean asian americans are trying to look like another race or purposefully look pale. It just means most people don't go out of their way to tan.

No, skin whitening creams & parasol's aren't as common here. Yes, there are exceptions in Asian cultural enclaves.

Also many tanned asians / dark asians just look puerto rican or something. Like Filipinos or Cambodians. The average American is not going to be like "that person looked like their from south Cambodia"...We aren't that specific about strangers.

Tl:DR: America is great because our youth are more free to not have to worry about the racist presuppositions of older generations. So there are more exceptions & less generalities about appearances.

What are your thoughts on 'cultural appropriation' ? Is it true that K12 education has become much more problematic(for the lack of a better word) in the US in the past 10 or so years? How much do you heat your homes? Who do you think is at fault in this car accident? Are the sports team in the US which still reflect the socio-economic background of people in that city/ area? Dutchy here, thinking Tri-State was exclusively used for NY, NJ and CT but it's a term for ~25 populated areas elsewhere in the country, shared by three states. Now my Q is: "Did people move there because they wanted to trade with the other states"? Or do people live there cause of geography? A few ‘do Americans eat/drink …….. on daily basis’ questions ? Do you think that fatphobia an actual issue? Any tips for an Englishman's first time making gumbo? Any tips for an Englishman's first time making gumbo? Why do a lot of rural Americans (particularly in the deep south) say 'You want I should...?' instead of 'Should I...?'/'Do you want me to...?' Where did that come from? In hindsight do you think normalizing relations with china was a bad idea? Rich elderly people? Do you support school choice / charter schools? Representative Buck and Senator Hawley have introduced a bill to band TikTok nation wide. How do you feel about that?
