Skin color in Indonesia

Everyone is different, small differences in pigmentation can cause endless problems.
We call the skin. Here they call it kulit, pronounced as "cool it". So what do the people in Jakarta think about skin color differences?
This is what I experienced and invented.

Simple minded

The Indonesian attitude towards skin color is simple, very simple even. In other words, they are unable to tell me why a dark skin color is bad. Oh but it's bad, everybody knows this as a famous fact. The argument goes something like this: If you have a dark skin color, then you work outside. If you work outside, this means you have a worthless job. If you have a worthless job, it means you are very poor, probably living in or below the poverty line. If you live in it, death and degradation knock on your door (if you're lucky enough to be able to afford a door of course).

The next time you want to spend a day in one of the swimming pools here, check out the fellow bathers. Between ten o'clock in the morning and in the sunset, you see mostly white English men. After that the vampires emerge. Why? Simple social status. People with money here want to look different than people without money. With or without clothes and leaving the sun there is a way to do this.
Light skin on the other hand is considered to be good; Just ask Sundanese people. Sundanese area are the cities around Bandung and Bogor. It is a sign of health, wealth and beauty. They advertised it before on tv, while the whole culture is bad, they consider white as clean and better.

Umbrella for sunlight protection

For a long time here I have seen them all. These local women on the street with a ten second session of ultraviolet radiation (sunshine) become incredibly hysterical in a matter of time. Hysterical, finger-vibrating gunfighters for umbrellas, magazines, bags, everything to protect their UV-enhanced makeup faces. Apparently a response-in-light face. Agghhh !!! Run for your life! The sun is coming out !!!
Anti-radiation costumes I have not seen here on Indonesia's catwalk, luckily !!
But on the other hand, if you have the luxury you do not have to go out.

Bule or Western culture is initially the complete opposite of Indonesian (Asian) culture. In western countries a light shade is considered exotic and many white people go to the beach to get this shade when you are blank.
They both do the same with the difference that in western mentality people have different opinions about colour and is more used to a multicultural society in this example and every race get publicly respected as they should in Indonesia as well.
