Their cultural obsession with white skin has always been weird/cringe to me.
It’s like they got these people but the other way around…
Den Fujita's (the founder of McDonald's Japan) prediction for the year 2971 is a shitpost in itself.

It’s because historically dark skin meant you worked in the fields and were extremely poor.
Light skin meant you did not perform any manual labour and was a sign of wealth.
The blonde hair part is the weirdest bit to me.

That was the stereotype in the west too, it only reversed when having a tan meant you were wealthy enough to have been on a summer holiday somewhere sunny!

That’s Asia in general. Grass is greener thing, with the west being the opposite (obsessed with getting a tan).

Don’t Japanese people hate blonde hair? Or is that Koreans?
