Really? That's interesting; I have never heard that (or, I don't know about all Asians, but I haven't noticed that among the Chinese) ... they must really be freaking out about all the pollution then. Aren't skin whitening products huge in China? Lots of MSG used in Chinese restaurants around my area too...

In any case, those masks are creepy looking!! And look uncomfortable.

yeah, but the whitening products are only used if you don't already have the light skin.
light skin=you are rich enough to work in an office
dark skin=you are poor and have a 'day laborer' job

then there is the racism thing too...some Asians are prejudiced against other Asians.

Don't a lot of Chinese and Japanese people pretty much hate each other still? Not sure...
A friend of mine who's Chinese, who likes to be darker and likes to tan here like most people, went to China and said that she almost immediately developed a total complex about the colour of her skin because of how people were treating her, and almost folded and whitened herself up.

I cannot speak for them all, but in my experience, yes. Fillipino, Thai, and any other darker skinned Asians are also harshly judged. I think it's similar in the African American community as well.

I'd just like to give a shout out to private property rights.

Thanks for allowing me to have a cigarette on the porch and giving me the capability to give people an awkward stare when they drive by.

Just had to let two people go. Just weren't producing. Not my decision. Like I mentioned a few days ago the big boss came in and talked to the GM. That's what it was about. Fucker didn't even have the balls to mention it to me or talk to me about it. I was just the lucky one who got to tell two grown men "you no longer have a job" enjoy your weekend just becasue I can be blunt. Oh, and when you see the anonymous ad in Monday's paper for two new guys...don't apply. You won't get a phone call. I hate this fucking job. Part of the reason I drink the way I do. Part of the reason I was drinking at 11:00 yesterday morning, I knew this was coming today.

I'm sorry, I hate that part of my job. A couple of years ago I had to let several people go (cost reductions), I get done with it and go back to my office and my boss sends me a message asking if I could come over for a minute. I instantly thought he was going to fire me, right after I had done the dirty work. He didn't, but later I told him he scared the shit out of me.
