That’s a good question. I don’t think suntans necessarily look unnatural (most white people do get some tan color if they spend time in the sun), but it’s not a look I go for, for the reasons you state. But I don’t think white people who tan are trying to appear non-white. I don’t think anyone will automatically think a tanned white person is another race. I’ve heard it said that tanner skin shows off muscle tone better, so some people might find it more attractive for that reason. Also, in the past, a suntan meant you were affluent enough to have the leisure to pursue outdoor activities or to travel to sunny places in the winter, so it became a status symbol. I think it’s less stylish now that the health effects of tanning are better known. Regarding your last question, I don’t see how skin color can be something to be proud of. It’s not an accomplishment, it’s just something you’re born with.
