How do I get pale again?

10,633 2,427 June 9, 2012 at 01:07 PM in Sad
Ok, so summer has started and I have been playing lots more tennis, I mean lots, avg. 10+ hours a week, and even using sunblock I have went up a good 5 shades, I am Chinese suppose to be lighter/light skin, yellow if you wanna say, now I look dark as some of the Hispanic people out there. Anything I can do? My parents get md at me for this b/c they say girls won't like me as I am so dark and stuff, and they always tell me to not play tennis although I do anyway. Anyway, any advice how to reverse this?

Just out of curiosity... what do you think about female genital mutilation?

I know it wasn't directed at me, but my deal alert went off.


You have plans tomorrow? When you say "mutilation", do you mean just lots of sex?

Yes, everyone knows that in this context, mutilation is just a combination of the words "mutual" and "titillation."

I tell my son girls don't like to see food in his braces (well really everyone but Im trying to motivtate him without being a nag for him to really pay attention to his teeth) ..or that when he smells nice (aka puts on deodorant) girls like that too...

He is 13 and is a little self aware deficient (aspergers) and I feel like a broken record at times...but he is doing good!!

Quote from jaydid.echo :
I'm young. I'm part of the young Chinese-American generation. I am 26yo. I do no hate the Chinese culture. They're just in a different place. Please do not speak for me. I have respect for my country even though I don't hold much of the same believes. But not holding the same believes is due to me being raised here and having gotten used to the cultural norms here. This is my world now. My life is here with my friends and family. I work here. I go to school here. I find love here.

I just went back to live in China for 4 months last year, Feb-Jun 2011. With me, I brought a cousin who was born here and had never been to China ever in her life. I explained and translated our culture to her during our whole trip.

And prior to that, in 2008, I took a 7-week backpacking trip to China with my ex-bf and another friend to 15+ different cities along the Chinese coast. I was the only Chinese-speaking person on the trip and did all the translating even though I can only read 1st grade Chinese. I am proud of my attachment to my homeland and proud of the trips I made back there to get to know it.
The fact that you can only read 1st grade Chinese, tells me you still don't know jack-shit about CHINA.. Language comprehension is a prerequisite for understanding the broken and thwarted chinese culture which has been diffusing and rotting since Mao.LMAO

Quote from torrention :
I don't know about you but I've tanned to an incredibly DARK color before after traveling to hot parts of Asia for over a month and staying out in the sun all day, every day. Its hot enough to boil an egg over there. Eventually my skin tone returned to normal after awhile, after I returned to the U.S. I've done this more than once and never had issues regarding staying dark or getting darker than my original skin color (although I'll admit I don't measure every last shade difference but thats how unnoticeable the difference is if you're arguing the pigment increase is suppose to keep me darker).
the difference will be subtle, but you are NEVER as light as you were before. I personally don't care for being white, or pasty, but this is how it works

If you couldn't read any books beyond the first grade level (in english). How good of an understanding can you form of the American Culture.

How and why did America outpace the British after textiles?OMG

How and why did Germany come to dominate the european economy.EEK!

Why did Germany fight WWII. Who's fault was it really.

Try answer these things limited to texts from 1st grade.

Culture as defined on wiki

When Culture first began to take its current usage by Europeans in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century (having had earlier antecedents elsewhere), it connoted a process of cultivation or improvement, as in agriculture or horticulture. In the nineteenth century, it came to refer first to the betterment or refinement of the individual, especially through education, and then to the fulfillment of national aspirations or ideals.

Can a person do any of the above, at the first grade reading level.LMAOLMAO

How and why did America outpace the British after textiles?OMG Industrialization - The Railroad (outside of 1st Grade context - the Chinese built that too)

How and why did Germany come to dominate the european economy.EEK! Adolf Hitler - White (Blonde Hair, Blue Eye) Supremacy

Slavery Helped the First Part


Nothing comes to mind on the second part, but given the time period, Independence and George Washington and the next few Presidents (don't know them all in order) contributed to that

From words of 1st Grade.

I'm sorry but you're actually wrong on all accounts.

Question 1: How did America outpace the British after textiles?

Abundant resources, fast pace technology transfer (from europe, many immigrant engineers and scientists), similar to what is happening in China today,

You can't just say railroad, the British had railroads.

----watch out white people!!

Question 2: How did Germany come to dominate the european economy.

The rise of German industry was primarily due to vertical integration in heavy industries, lack of competition, and quite a bit of price fixing, but here it worked out.

Question 3: Why did Germany fight WWII. Who's fault was it really.

Post WWII, reparations were mostly omitted, because they were one of the root causes of WWII; as in the extreme reparations exacted upon Germany by the victors of WWI forced an entire generation of Germans into poverty and humiliation (for 10+ years). Remember the Nazis were essentially a proletariat uprising, Hitler was just a figure head.

So who's fault was WWII, the victors of WWI, who mistakenly in their boyish pettiness continued kicking Germany as it was on the ground.

-- for example, after WWI, there were ass-holes going to Germany, spending extravagantly, like hiring an entire philharmonic for $100 US. -- to put this in context, it's like taking part and holding bum-fights.


I'll admit, these questions are a bit broad and open, but you should know at least that the common buzz words like Hitler and Slavery, paint a very incomplete and often misleading account of what happened, EVEN on the general level.

Remember, we're talking 1st grade. jaydid.echo said he had 1st grade comprehension of Chinese.

---To add to that Chinese is a language that takes students quite a bit longer to become proficient, let along delve into political/ economic ideologies. This is one of the reasons why they're considering ANOTHER simplification of the character set.

NO WAY javdid.echo knows jack-sh1t about China with only 1st grade Chinese reading comprehension.

You said 1st Grade Language, I am answering in the Broadest way possible that first grade people would have knowledge and learned of through that. But good job with Google.

LOL, kids these days think they can just google everything.

I actually read books on these subjects. But I can understand how you'd think that, since I only bullet-ed the stuff.

If you're saying you, first-graders, and google are so proficient, then WHY did you get these questions wrong?


Even if first graders could throw a few accurate highlights as I have, it doesn't mean "they understand the answers"

--- you need more details for a complete understanding. I'm not saying you need to become a professor, but more than 1st grade, and that's what we're arguing.

As I've already mentioned, You failed these 3 questions.

Why on earth would anyone feed the troll? jaydid's answer positively SLAMMED this douchbag and all he could come back with was "you can't read IN CHINESE, therefor you don't know anything about china." She can read in English, you farking moron.
He's like the guy from Good Will Hunting, the one with the long hair in the Harvard bar who read one book and memorized a page and tried to pass himself off as an expert.

Can you read German? because according to your reasoning, if you can't read the language, you don't know anything about it.
