I think many whites have a slight inferiority complex toward other races. Most other races have a culture that seems more self-expressive, and many of us admire your ability to survive and thrive in worse living conditions. Unfortunately, maybe 20 percent of whites do think other races are inferior, which I think gives minorities a negative impression of all of us.

As far as your specific question goes, it might be difficult for a minority to understand. While you have black pride or Hispanic pride, there really is no similar sense of white pride. Whites don’t see themselves grouped that way, and let’s face it, white pride is associated with racism. Most whites want to stay as far from that as possible.

In other words, whites aren’t getting tanned because they want to be black; they’re getting tanned because they think it is more desirable and looks better. It is really not a race question. They don’t associate their skin being darker with being more black, but with looking more like that supermodel on TV.
