[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] There's a universal preference for light pigmentation and it predates European colonialism. Northern Europeans are the lightest in pigmentation by frequency (hair, eyes, skin) so they don't need to "expand their social identity" (to use the above phrase), but the very opposite (and isolate/restrict themselves) to protect these traits. Everyone else though does the opposite because they admire/idealise light[er] pigmentation when they are dark[er] and so it is in their interest to expand their social group identity as much as possible to try to group themselves with lighter phenotypes. I've observed this on this forum, virtually no exceptions. "In Ibo culture, however, these yellowish or reddish complexions are considered more beautiful than the darker, ‘blacker,’ complexions. ... It is true that, in West Africa, government has for many years been identified with pale-skinned Europeans, but the [b]Ibo evidence suggests that preference for paleness of complexion is indigenous[/b]. - Ardener, E.W. 1954.
