I asked my neighbor why his Chinese wife had on so many clothes outside in the middle of July. He said to block the sun, she did not want to get one bit darker....he said she was very conscious about getting darker.
My wife is Chinese, she tells me that darker skin is the mark of a "countryside person"-ie: farmer,etc. who is less educated and usually poor.

"My wife is Chinese, she tells me that darker skin is the mark of a "countryside person"-ie: farmer,etc. who is less educated and usually poor. " Yes, I understand.
It was that way here once. Now, darker skin indicates that you have leisure time to be sun tanning. Think Boehner.
