haha one of my favourite bands is a band called Babymetal.. they are a heavy metal/J-Pop fusion, they are huge in japan, they sell out 20,000 seater arenas, but pretty marmite in the western world after one of their music videos went viral on youtube lol i went to go see them twice last year on their little world tour they did, they sold out brixton academy in london which is a 5,000 capacity venue, will be seeing them again in august lol
this is the video that went viral and had traditional metalheads ripping their hair out crying lol has over 27million views on youtube now lol

Don't get me started on Babymetal!!! I'm one of those guys pulling my hair out and crying mercy because I absolutely can't stand them.
But that's alright, it's not like they're taking away the music I already have so I just ignore the hype around them and carry on, haha.

Re: Why do Cambodians prefer people with White Complexion?
I am new here and my opinion comes from experience in Thailand and marriage to a Malaysian (of Chinese descent). I believe the answer above is the most accurate. Many Asian cultures are very "class" or "status" oriented and will defer or allocate respect to class/status based on many things that westerners no longer value - such as age, education, occupation and financial status.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2015 10:07 pm
Why ? (do cambodians prefer people with white complexions).
Because Cambodians are conscious of skin colour. Light skin colour is a status symbol in Cambodia( & most of Asia) among the local population: Educated city people are "white"/poor rice farmers are "black".
To answer your question : Partly culture and partly ignorance.
Being darker skinned means you work outside (farmer or other) in a low class/status occupation. The lighter skinned, the higher class/status. In Thailand this is very prevalent. Skin whiteners are the biggest selling cosmetic products (along with products to make your nipples pink). All beloved actors are light skinned, as are the politicians. Dark skinned Thai face discrimination in hiring, you will see policemen completely covered (including a ski mask) directing traffic despite blistering heat so that they stay lighter skinned for promotion. "i am ugly black" is a common listing on dating websites.... or "I not like black" , "I want white farang" is a common request. And is a deep seated desire (plus they want rich farang). In USA you are undesirable if fat, dumb, ugly. in Thailand old is ok, fat is ok, but dark skin... not so much.
It is cultural, and will be a long time changing. I prefer not to call differences in thinking ignorant (too judgmental for my liberal side). my 2 cents.
