Thank you dear! : D

Thank you for the links about whitewashing, by the way. Also, I'm glad that I was 'spot on' about the beauty and race thing...it is true that seeing the whites as the dominant race could be seen as a bad thing. I'm not sure which race is the most dominant however in my opinion, it shouldn't matter. We are all equal and we are all humans, it doesn't matter if whites are the dominant race. What's more worrying is that people [perhaps only in the states but I have a feeling that this is isn't the case, that we aspire to be like whites in order to be recognised as beautiful...] think that only white people should be the standard of beauty.
