I’m light-skinned, and though I don’t try to tan, I do catch the sun in summer and turn darker – which accentuates my muscle tone, and makes my eyes and teeth look clearer. I think that white people who bake in the sun do so for that reason, as well as the slimming effects of a tan. The notion that they are trying to look a different race is ridiculous, considering the broad spectrum of ‘white’ skin, ranging from light Scandanavian tones to darker Mediterranean hues. It’s really no different than African Americans who use skin lightener, straighten their hair, wear light contact lenses or dye their hair light brown/blond. I think any changes are purely cosmetic and do not reflect a person’s view of themselves and their color/race.
