I find it amusing and somewhat irritating too, that black African women use horrid-smelling products on their skin to make it paler, and strong chemicals on their hair to make it straighter, while many white women go to tanning salons to get browner, and use tongs on their hair to make it wavier. Completely bonkers. Not to mention older women trying to look younger, as if any sign of ageing is disgusting and unacceptable. All have in their minds a stereotype of what constitutes 'beauty'. I think the word 'acceptance' is very important, and key to being a wise human being.
