It’s like they got these people but the other way around…

It’s because historically dark skin meant you worked in the fields and were extremely poor.
Light skin meant you did not perform any manual labour and was a sign of wealth.
The blonde hair part is the weirdest bit to me.
That was the stereotype in the west too, it only reversed when having a tan meant you were wealthy enough to have been on a summer holiday somewhere sunny!
They have those too. Gyaru and manba gyaru, to name a few.
I googled and apparently the ganguro style has died out which makes me feel old.
People want what they don’t have I guess
That’s Asia in general. Grass is greener thing, with the west being the opposite (obsessed with getting a tan).
sales guaranteed for the next millennium, boys
big macs on me
Japanese in 2972:
Wait until he finds out where potatoes come from
Damn he was one fucked up mother effer
Not my worst fap
I have a dataset that says otherwise…
sad.
Don’t Japanese people hate blonde hair? Or is that Koreans?
As far as I’ve always heard, both tend to love western features.
