I have no issues with the companies and their products this CNN hit piece is criticizing. I respect peoples rights to bodily autonomy and justly acquired possessions. 

We are lectured by the woke crowd “don’t whiten your skin” and “don’t darken your skin”. whatever

To be honest, skin lightening in Asia does not have a lot to do with blacks and not a lot to do with whites either, that's just a large part of their misguided historical and social culture in regard to class.

Poor people were tan and rich people were not like th being pale was a sign of prestige, same stuff occurred in the west before being tan became a sign of being rich due to taking trips and traveling and people not concerning themselves as much about face and prestige anymore.

But unfortunately, China and India still concern themselves a lot about face and caste.

So this is simply another case of something that appears to be about racism but is really more about class.

There are also sell products to darken your skin so it cut both ways

Wait heck that's minority cultural approp 

Like. try being the PR guy at L’Oreal and attempting to navigate the maze that is IDpol do’s and dont’s to not offend the shareholders. A true hecking nightmare

My reaction to this incident where a Filipina Miss Universe contestant changed her look a bit

We are told by wokies that whites are ‘too white’ and that there is too much ‘whiteness’ , but then these wokies turn around and say doing things like this Filipina did is ‘racist’ . 

You can’t have it both ways woke SJWs. Imagine criticizing whiteness and also criticizing this what this Filipina Miss Universe contestant did in this story in the link. 

Who cares? It's not like Filipinos are oppressing blacks. Heck, the Philippines has suffered more from American imperialism than nearly any other country on Earth. I thought that cultural appropriation was only viewed as a bad thing when majority groups do it to minority groups, but African Americans are far more well of and influential than Filipinos are

If blacks are seen as cool and desirable in the Philippines, why is that a bad thing? You must see them as cool and hip but never show any affinity toward their culture that comes . You are supposed to just watch enviously.Whatever

In Philippines. Black culture is celebrated hard and that is what it is. That is their country and who am I to criticize it. The NBA is big in the Philippines and there is a huge community of "battle rappers" who battle rap each other in the most Eminem way possible that you'd feel drained.

Preference for fairer skin IS still in demand in some places, as evidenced by a still thriving whitening industry. Sadly, brown skin is generally looked at as something ideal and great only when it is something to be "sold," i.e. when family members patronize someone's look and add "foreigners love skin like that!" Another example: pageants, most definitely in the international arena. Once again because... "Foreigners love skin like that!"

So no, it hasn't improved much actually, even if there is refreshingly a growing movement of brown skin appreciation.

It's not as if this Miss Universe contestant is mocking blacks. She's trying to look a way that personally she finds beautiful, so this should truly be seen as a positive thing.

1) From  here  “ racial/ethnic compositions. In Study 2, we collected data from 170 participants using an online questionnaire to test the implications of essentialist beliefs for policy support.  Consistent with previous research, we found that belief in biological essentialism was negatively related to policy support for participants from both dominant and subordinated categories. In contrast, the relationship between cultural essentialism and policy support varied across identity categories in the hypothesized way: negative for participants from the dominant category  but positive for participants from subordinated categories. Results suggest that cultural essentialism may provide a way of identification that subordinated communities use to mobilize support for social justice” :   2) From  Wikipedia : Strategic essentialism, a major concept in postcolonial theory, was introduced in the 1980s by the Indian literary critic and theorist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. It refers to a politi

 From the blog post American Thought    WHITENESS, RACISM AND OPPRESSED PEOPLE Today it is almost impossible to find a person who was engaged in a discussion with the left from the West and who never encountered ideas such as white privilege, White and whiteness. In this particular view the concept of White becomes a separate “sociological category”. It looks like people sometimes forget how racism is, in similar way as class, a problem of the political and economic, i.e. it is a problem of access to societal resources and services, segregation, violence and in the role that certain group plays in a political process. It is always used to exclude certain ethnic groups based on their or their ancestors background. ‘American Thought’’s approach towards race and culture also reveals its poverty of understanding the historical role, limitations and fundamental concepts of classical liberalism; such as individuality as expressed in John Stuart Mill’s essay On Liberty (1859). It is expressin

 Homosexuality The same applies to the sin of lesbianism. There is no doubt among the fuqahaa' that lesbianism is haraam and is a major sin, as stated by al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him). (Al-Mawsoo'ah al-Fiqhiyyah, part 24, p. 251). Though typically lesbians are not as seen in a negative light as gay men are. "If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, passionately confront them both. If they repent and amend leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning Most Merciful." (Surat 4:16) Hadeeth (saying of prophet Muhammad) regarding homosexuality: Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: "A man should not look at the private parts of another man, and a woman should not look at the private parts of another woman. A man should not lie with another man without wearing lower garment under one cover; and a woman should not be lie with another woman without wearing lower garment under one cover." (Abu Dawood) Volume 7,
