      People do this a lot because I tend to talk about cultural issues affecting the west. I'm really not the one denying we're much better off.

      I agree, we are a work in progress but have made leaps and bounds. I lived in Egypt levels of blatant racism/homophobia etc are incomparable

      I think I lost one of your tweets where you said that bleaching is a bigger problem worldwide? I was getting a lot.

          If that was what you were pointing out, I agree. I have seen reports on how damaging this is to skin & realise it shouldn't be dismissed.

          I don't think it works as an argument for white supremacy & the fault of white people tho. I think different values underlie that pressure.

          Yes. The west still has a way to go with racism but I don't think it can be blamed for racism or favouring of light skin elsewhere.

          Hollywood plus beauty/fashion trends being led mostly by the west is also having a huge effect now too though. It's definitely complex.

          No it was my mistake. I assumed that was the discussion going on before posting. Derp! Soz.
