I’m a very pale white. I don’t think whites that make a habit of tanning are concerned with skin cancer at all. It’s true, we’re not all happy with the color or our skin. Maybe being too white makes us uncomfortable. When I was younger I wished I had that deep tan that many of my peers had in the summer but that’s only because that’s what we perceived was most attractive. Maybe we feel naked in our white skin, or feel we ‘blend’ into society better with a darker skin. Do we feel pressure from the fashion magazines that tan is ‘in’? I’ve heard some whites say that they just feel ‘healthier’ with a tan. They like laying under the tanning beds because it’s ‘so comfortable and warm’. Sorry I can’t give you an answer…I wish I had one. I hope other whites give you their comments. I’d like to read them as well.
