To be completely frank, what you, Tiger, I, nor anyone else might think of how anyone else wishes to look doesn't matter one damn bit. I think it is much more important that said person feels beautiful/handsome than what anyone else thinks. If someone happens to be ashamed to be white, black, yellow, or orange, then I do not think they are "turning on their culture" or any other bullshit if they try to look differently, they are merely having a look that /they/ like and that's perfectly fine.
EDIT - I think ashamed isn't the right word, I mean I'm not "ashamed" of looking Irish, but at the same time it does upset me that I'm so pale... idk what word is better "unhappy" maybe?
Its the same reason I don't yell at my kids for wanting, and well now that they've moved out getting, tattoos. [I personally think they are stupid and make you in some ways less employable] Same reason I never yelled at my kids for shaving their heads, or my daughter when she dyed her hair, or wanting her ears pierced. (Tattos were the only thing I said they couldn't do and that was mostly because I would have had to watch it according to the tat parlor folks but I'm needle phobic so I would have shit kittens and made a scene - the eldest and I went in to talk to them about one for him and found that out; after that the kidos never asked again and just waited until they were 18, which is the age law up here)
